I signed up to the Athletic today it’s only £1 a month for 6 months, thought it was worth a go

Not really. Some good articles though. Evans hasn't changed much.

Rashica has genuine pace, along with Watkins. I think that will make us so much more dangerous on the break, especially away from home where we by and large lacked an out ball.

Got to get him first.

Apparently everyone's favourite club Leeds want him too, and Brighton want Martinez.

What is it with the love in for Leeds? And Bielsa, don't get me wrong hes a great coach, has been caught spying on teams etc, yet appears to be revered as some sort of god!!

I wonder who this "number 8" Gregg Evans thinks Smith is bringing in - a big name apparently?

I thought that came for Ashley Preece not Evans? That is the big question still though.

Which reminds me, is every male in Wolverhampton called Craig?

I read about Brighton and Leeds rivalling us for players and just figured that's the negative spin we know the Mail for.

He could do with a good editor. Even a bad one would do him some good. Perhaps even someone to tell him how to spell Greg.

Sarr is an interesting one.  Has the tools, especially pace, to be a world beater but seems timid and lacking in self belief.  The negatives mean he might be in our range.

Hughes isn’t a bad shout too.  A few years experience at this level and I’d imagine has clocked a serious number of games in his career.  Ideal in the 8 role.

They would not be my priorities from the speculation buffet but they’d definitely improve us.

Imagine if we got Draxler !
From the Prem Mata or Ozil would be the big stage names but don't see them fitting

I'd rather not with those, a past-it player from the top clubs isn't the right choice for us.

Yeah, agree.

I had a slight feeling last night when we were talking about the possible line-ups if we sign the players we've  been linked with of that magic week under Brian Little, when every time I got back home and switched on Ceefax we were linked with another exciting player and (I think - my memory might be playing tricks) signed Southgate, Draper and Savo in quick succession. Players who excite us and make us wonder just what we can achieve, not players who have had their best days already and see us as a step down.
