The other thing with Rashica from the clips i've seen,  is i'd be a bit nervous about Grealish if we bought him.

So - if we are going to get 1 of them, do people want Rashica or Benrahma?

Rashica 100% - a front 3 of Grealish, Watson, Rashica is a proper threat
I'd be leaving Watson at Holme

Supposedly opened talks with Chelsea over Conor Gallagher (on loan at Charlton/Swansea last season)

That'd be quite an interesting punt - loan or perm?

I'd prefer Rashica on a footballing level if he didn't look like Stevie G's lovechild.

I’ve never seen him play either, or heard of him, a quick google backs up your comment though. He looks like he’d celebrate any lucrative move with a neck tattoo and by purchasing a Doberman.

Just going by the clips. Attacking midfielder, beats 2 or 3 players in the middle of the pitch before having a shot. Doesn't look like yer cross it over winger from what i've seen

I reckon Rashica would be cheaper, but Benrahma would have the advantage of at least having an understanding with Watkins.  So based on that, both please.

Sounds like Mendez-Laing might be available for free....

I'd wait to the transfer deadline. They may drop the price.


What has he done ? (allegedly)

Punched a badger in an argument over a woman.

Gareth Southgate Badger?

I want Rashica. Purely because I'd not heard of him before and because I've decided on a song I'd like for him.....

Ah, freak out
Le freak, Rashica

It should do. Can you try again please and let me know the result so I can pass it on to Martin?

I just added you and Ads to the ignore list, and I can still see your posts.  Purely for scientific purposes you understand!

Pretty sure Mods are exempt.

That's why I added Ads as well, but I can see his posts still.

Do you see similar to this?

Ignore. I see you have it working with that extra step.
