With the international window closing before the domestic window, we will know shortly whether there are any legs in the ongoing Rashica saga.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek would be the ideal signing, if he can stay fit.  Ticks a lot of boxes for us.

Judging by Smiths comments on Samatta going, I think a winger is much more likely than a striker to come in.

Loftus Cheek would be an excellent addition, might take a few weeks to get fully fit and flying, but he's quality.

Rashica's going to Leeds because they are massive and will pay him 100k a week, don't you know.

Rashica this must be the longest drawn out transfer in the history of football - I don’t even think we want him?

Still think we need a number 8, another forward and a back up centre half.

I think it might have a bit of a way to go before it’s the full Benni McCarthy.

Think we are trying to sign a CB and No. 8 type. Can't see us getting another forward, although we do have Watkins, Davis, Traore and Wesley there.

Assuming our first-choice front three is now [ Grealish - Watkins - Traore ], you've got to think any move for Rashica is related to Jack moving more central, or that AEG or Trez is definitely on the way out.

I'd much rather a bit more competition in the middle now, than up front.  The fact that Hourihane still gets into our first-choice 11 is a concern for me.  I like him, he's done well for us, and I want him in the squad as an option, but if we're going to move up the league we need a better player in the middle of the park with Luiz and McGinn in our first choice 11.

British press rubbished it yesterday.

Loftus Cheek and Sarr to finish the window would be nice.

Rashica clearly isn't that interested. The whole things needs to be left alone. It is almost the Kiyotake or Belahnda of its day. It needs about 3 more summers to reach Benni McCarthy.

I reckon Steve Bull is the player most linked with us in my lifetime as a fan. Which is pretty amazing when you consider it was in pr web / social media / constant football news times.

I absolutely guarantee that if we'd signed him, he'd have done a Guy Whittingham.
