Yeah, just show them the whip and crack away.

We really are going the full Keegan, aren't we?!

[Chris_Jephcott]

It’s all getting a bit exciting now isn’t it??

If we're going for 2 wide players, that suggests that Jack will be moved back to the centre.

I know some disagree but that's how I would like to see us play.

Healthy goal return for a wide forward.

Traore, that is.

Interesting. Was excellent for Ajax in their europa league run a few years back but hasn't done much at Lyon. Was one of those Chelsea were constantly loaning out before that.

A pacy wide player, Rashica and another striker on top of Watkins might look excessive but would sort out the final third for years.

It's crucial in a years time we finally have a summer where we don't have to spend 80m on new attackers as we seem to do every year.

20 odd goals in 80 games for Lyon.  Looks to me like he's done OK in this three years there.

Haven't seen much of him admittedly.

He came through the ranks at Chelsea as well. So settling in/ homesickness shouldn't be a major issue.

Not really a regular there, was unused sub last night in their 0-0 with Bordeaux. Memphis Depay and Dembele (ex Celtic) main players in them for attack so Lyon will likely sell him if we bid a bit more.

[KevinGage]

Talk of Depay moving to Barcelona though (the odd times we live in).  So maybe they're keen to hold onto him.

[ASHTONVILLA]

Any word on any of the deadwood leaving?

They will go in stages.

Shit crap away shit crap away shit crap away.

[Brazilian Villain]

Don't know anything about Traoré but I now know someone from Burkina Faso is described as Burkinabé. Who'd have thought?

[ozzjim]

If we buy Rashica and Traore then you have to think Watkins is nailed on at 9. Unless of course we are getting attacking options stacked in case we lose someone very important.

Dion Dublin thinks Grealish will still leave this window

Don't, no need.
