I like him, but I think his future is left wing not left back. If we could get him full time I think he’d be a great signing.

Someone said Declan Rice earlier in the thread. That would be an awful signing. I struggle to see what he offers except physicality and limited ball skills.

If Keinan Davis played for any other PL team we’d all think he is shit

I don’t think he’s as shit as Wesley though

Declan Rice is the new Mark Noble, ie basically wank. Maddison is a bloody good player, if we put him with Jack we'd be knocking on the top six. Mount is decent and could become very good, but he's not in the same class as the other two.

Davis is the new Ruud Gullit and it's just the blind that can't see it.

Declan Rice is the player you describe as “he puts in a shift” but generally in doing so achieves the square root of fuck all. If he was Finland or the Faroes and not English he’d be playing in the Azerbaijan Premier League.

He’s getting regular outings for the national side so he must be achieving better than the square root of FA.

The English game always has a blind spot for a player like Rice, he'll get ruthlessly exposed in an all important knockout game and they'll move onto the next plodding giant.

Declan Rice is fawned upon by the London media. If he played for a team like, say Sheffield United, he wouldn’t even get a mention let alone an England call up.

Another Eric Dier.

Is that the true measure of talent? He’s just a good player, nothing more. Generally nondescript. I don’t dislike him but would you have him over McGinn or Luiz in our midfield; two players that cost a combined £18m vs Rice who will cost any team that buys him £50m+

also doing the speculation rounds a part ex deal for Wilson from Bournemouth plus Hogan. Yes, it's the season to be silly.

Wow, that would be worthwhile if only to get rid of Hogan let alone getting Callum Wilson.

I've always rated Wilson but think this is probably a bit of fantasy. With the parachute payment and £40m for Ake in their pocket they don't need to look at cut price deals.

And why would anyone look at Hogan and think he was worth a punt
