according to Leeds fans, all out targets are going there. Cnuts.

Ah, so his agent has offered Hendrick to them, too?

various fan sites and social media all convinced Benrahma is nailed on for them.

They can have him. I like Benrahma but I'd also hope we're shopping for bigger fish than Championship players with zero top flight experience, especially to the tune of £30m or whatever he'd cost us.

Agree with that. Need proven players in the prem than Championship gambles.

Watkins would be a very good signing for us, he can play both wide and down the middle, has an exceptional attitude, a bit of pace and works like a dog. For £18m he would be a bargain. Get Edouard too and it would be a massive improvement.

Benrahma I fear will be one of those that we are destined to not get.

Watkins is a team player and has a football brain. I had a Brentford game on recently where a player left his position and Watkins saw it and stepped into that position. Very good for a 24 year old. I think £18m would be very good business.

I'd be happy with Watkins as one of 3 signings in the front 3, add a midfielder and a left back and I'd be done with that.

Wasn’t the brief for a proven Premier League striker? Is Ollie Watkins really going to come to play as a 2nd or 3rd fiddle centre forward?

In that case, can we announce that our targets are Jota, Lansbury and Hogan?

Watkins is an interesting one. It's a lot of money (if the £18m buy clause is true) so they have to decide if they think he could make the step up. He's had one really good goalscoring season in the Championship but so did Che Adams and Gestede. On the other side of the coin, it looks like Konsa was a good bit of business so it can work. I'd say go for it as long as he wasn't the only striker coming in.

I know - you could get two Scott Hogans for that price!

All seems plausible. Proper ITK is hard to find these days.
