I'd go for Wilfred Zaha for one of the wide positions. Hodgson said he wants to go and won't stand in his way. £40m is the reported figure for him.

Cracking shout.
Would be great in the wide forward role of a front 3. Good pace , skills and strength


He has gone backwards and is high maintenance, avoid.

We have to go for Benrahma, surely.

From what I've seen he seems to be more of a number ten, Jack type of player? We definitely need one flyer to come in on the wings, not sure that's Benhrahma.

It was reported on the wireless earlier that Zaha is on over £100k a week at Palace.  Add to this his goals tally this season (2 I think?) and it’s a no from me.

Zaha wouldn't be a good use of resources.

£40 million would be cheap for him, I'd take that deal. Can't see it happening, though.

Not in the know but I have a feeling we will see body's through the door fast and that the 5 or 6 we sign will be of very good quality. 3 squad players and 3 starters.

I would be surprised if the first sigings not announced by Monday.

That’s quite specific for non ITK there...

Tuanzebe will be the first one in I expect. Think a solid ITK on here confirmed a few weeks back that as a done deal if we stayed up? Just hope it's not caught up in the Grealish to United circus as they have any amount of deadwood they will try to pawn off on us.

Not disappointed in the least, his best years have gone and we have had enough of the footballers version of a retirement village.

Anyone else disappointed missing out on a move for Lallana ??
He's gone to Brighton on a free.
Think he's sort of experience campaigner with some flair we could have done with.
classy player. But I guess we need to move away from the over 30 slightly brittle sort. Always tough as Cahill would have been a superb signing for us. Some prem experience would make sense but where and who is less easy.

Tuanzebe has been injured since December! Not likely to play until September. Far too injury prone and made the princely sum of 5 League appearances for Yanited in 2019/20.

Well the itk is a defend3r had a medical the same day we played united and putting 2&2 together I guessed Tunzabe. I could be miles off and its a different premier league defender. Maybe even a left or right back.
One things for sure though, united are going to want to send us 3 or 4 players in the grealish deal if it happens and you could well be right with the bogged down in that comment.
I'd take dan James, luke Shaw and Axel plus cash but can't see that happening.
