No, I'm guessing its Ramsey, but his wages must be huge. That Portuguese fella they have looks pretty decent up front. Might be an option if Davis doesn't work out.

Juve offering us players.

Go on...

That's all it is. They're hawking across Europe and had a sit down with us in the week according to the Gazette Dello Sport.

They're also here to buy Raúl Jiménez from the Dingles. They may have had a few questions about our Jack too but like Man Utd, they can't afford two players on their shopping list.

£400k per week, I read in a few places. Good luck getting him to budge!

Had any of us heard of Milot Rashica or Weston McKenzie before this window?  Genuine question as I hadn't. Are they really any good and genuine targets with Dean saying he wants Prem experienced players?

Callum Wilson. I would like us to sign him.  I think he'd be good for us.

I hadn’t heard of either of them
but I’m not a good barometer of knowing much

Genuinely I had never heard of:

Wesley, Nakamba, Trezeguet, Konsa, Guilbert when we signed them.

manu did well to move Sanchez on but all the ‘big’ clubs have the issue. Bale costs 1/3 a grealish in wages a year, the keeper United are try ing to hawk to us is worth bugger all and 60k a week in wages. I hope we don’t go down the road of taking their cast offs. Is the keeper worth the production in terms of goals and assists plus the money we spend replacing him? Is Ireland still available?

I still think Wesley could do that. But definitely need a quality striker.

Possibly two if one of Wesley, Samatta or Davis goes.  I would be looking for a starting striker and easing Wesley back in.

Would have concerns about his injury record, but Callum Wilson would be high on my list if the medical was OK.

Harry Maguire has been arrested in Greece

Man Utd are refusing to pay the full cost of bail and have offered their goalkeeper Romero as a sweetener

He would be a good signing with his injury record - just what we need!

With one of the smallest squads in the league, we are now one of just 4 clubs to have not made a senior signing.

I reckon we’ll probably do the majority of our business in a short period, rather than dribs and drabs up to the end of the window.

That has never been indicated Ads.  The club has consistently stated that there is a sizeable amount to sign 3 quality players...
