So, who would you choose?

[N'ZMAV]

Burnley: McNeill and Charlie Taylor - we could do with a quality left winger. And Taylor would give competition to Targett.

Brighton: Bissouma and Lamptey - Bissouma would give us a bit more bite in centre midfield. Lamptey would be great competition for Cash. Cash could play winger if Lamptey signed.

Newcastle: Saint-Maximim and Callum Wilson. ASM; see point on McNeill. Wilson, when fit can get goals.

Fulham: Ola Aina and Antonee Robinson - both good full backs.

WBA: Sam Johnstone and Robert Snodgrass. Likes both from their time at Villa.

Sheff Utd: Sander Berge and Rihan Brewster - both talented young players despite not having good seasons.

[Mister E]

None of them.

Sorry: maybe you just didn't read the opening post: "Purely for a bit of fun, if you had to pick 2 players from each of the current bottom six teams...".
I'm not necessarily promoting any of the players listed - although some could do a job for our squad - I was just  reflecting on the range of possible transfer candidates from lower-placed clubs during this boring international break.

Brighton - Bissouma & Webster / White & Lamptey.  I actually tthink Bissouma would be a great signing.
Newcastle - St Maximim & Wilson  (despite the snub I still think Wilson could score goals for fun for us)
Burnley - Tarkowski & McNeil
Fulham - Lookman & Mitrovic
WBA - Pereira (looks very good to me) & Gallagher (young and may improve)
Sheffield Utd - Berge & Brewster (Christ they're a shit show)

For the right price there's one or two decent ones there.

I'd take McNeil, Berge and Robinson (but none would be my first choice option) don't think anyone else is good enough for a team that should be challenging for the top 6.

If I had to pick 2 from each
Brighton - Bissouma and White
Newcastle - Saint-Maximin and Wilson
Burnley - McNeil and Pope
Fulham - Robinson and Lookman
Baggies - Diangana and Gallagher
Sheffield U - Berge and Bogle

we've got plenty of players that aren't good enough for a top 6 team

[Mister E]

A few thoughts:

• Saint-Maximin and Wilson: both rather injury-prone?
• Bissouma - yeah, definitely; if we could pip other likely contenders.
• Lamptey - I'd like to see him play again after this current long-term injury.
• Is Diangana getting much gametime at the Bitters?
• I was close to selecting Robinson, Fulham's LB (who doesn't get a first-choice pick with Fulham at the moment).
• A few selections for Mitrovic .... really? I suppose he adds the experience we don't currently have upfront (and, its the lack of experience that would exclude Brewster from being selected).
• Lookman - hmmm, I've thought he looks a little flashy and doesn't track back but he can certainly beat a man.
• I chose Trossard because he looks like someone who could slot in for JG when he's injured.

I was gutted we couldn't keep Sam Johnstone at the time as he impressed me in his spell with us. However he hasn't kicked on and become the player I thought he would be.

[Daley’s dreads]

Fulham -Aina as versatile and can play both full back positions.
Reed - think he’s good player from what I’ve seen but maybe bit small like our other midfielders.
Brighton - Bissouma obviously but would be hard to get - I know that’s not the game!
White as back up.
WBA - erm ... Pereira looks decent. Maybe Diagne or Johnstone as back up.
Newcastle - Lascelles as back up. Maximim would be fun.
Sheffield Utd - the centre halves when fit are decent.

So we don't need any more, glad you agree.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

I’d rather go for the best players from the top of the championship who are on an upward trajectory rather than those being potentially damaged by a relegation season.

In particular a winger or two who wound be an upgrade on our current wingers, such as Sarr, Beundia or Brooks. Or as a wildcard, Thauvin from France.

[KKAVFC]

Shame we couldn't get on to Aguero's agent pronto as leaving Citeh at the end of the season. 257 goals in 384 appearances is some record. Probably want megabucks but might fancy a "work in progress" like Citeh were when he joined & scored "that" goal v QPR....

[eamonn]

Lamptey would just bring up constant sad reminders of Nii so it's a Noo from me.

of course we don't - but we both know more will turn up

[JuanMartinez]

Not on the list but Lookman / Pererira as squad players.

Just saying lioke .....

[SoccerHQ]

Think Antonee Robinson would be a good pick up for left back spot. Think Fulham got him for about 2m from Wigan and he's impressed me many times I've seen him with how he gets forward so think he can be a target if they go down.

Like Andersen aswell but doubt he'll come to sit on bench and be backup CB.

Of front players would say Lookman and Saint Maximn are only ones that could push us on towards 8th or 7th next season so much trickier and we need to be looking abroad for better value.
