He's Tony Daley on the roids.

Sounds ace.
He may be even slightly faster than Tony Daley but Daley was more consistent as wingers go (also one of my favourite players).

With cov-id having a major impact on our finances I cannot see us spending £100 million this summer

With Wesley now coming back to fitness and the emergence of Davis as a goal scorer we don't need another forward, I would imagine that we will look to sign another midfielder and a left back as cover for Targett.


Christ, it's just this sort of thinking that has derailed our last two seasons.  We would be nuts not to buy another striker. If either of those two come good then great, that's a bonus.


How has the amount of strikers we have derailed this season?

5 points gained from losing positions is very low total for team that's been top half 90% of the season.

Just in last few weeks Newcastle have got two draws in last 5 minutes v Spurs and Liverpool and beaten Burnley from a goal down so they've matched that total and they're a bog standard bottom 6 team. Think all those goals were scored from players off the bench.

We simply don't have enough players who can come on with half an hour left and up the tempo and pin opposition back, at the moment it's more bringing on a Trez or Davis to see a game out.

We need 5-6 Fulham type games next season to be in with serious chance of europa spot as we were always decent at getting points from behind in games in the MON years.

Duvan Zapata linked.

That sounds more like it.

Just the 77 Serie A goals since 2016 and Atalanta might want to cash in on him now he's hit 30.

Probably someone West Ham will go for.

Not sure he's type Dean is looking for. Not doubting his quality - I just expected us to go for younger, players with a sell on value etc.

To be fair, Zapata might be looking to play in the Champions League again next season.

Targett is the best winger we have on the books.

He is. Just a shame he can't cross. Great defender though.

I don't think Targett's delivery is that bad

I don't either. The WBA RB was incredibly good at blocking every single cross seemingly on Sunday. He got an assist for the Ollie goal at Newcastle a few weeks back.

I'd be happy with him back. He has the potential to frighten opponents. Lots of people seem to have decided Lingard is the real deal, based on one decent half season after years of mediocrity, but many of the same people have written Adama Traore off after one underwhelming campaign.

Can't be easy for any wide man if your main centre forward, Jimenez, is out injured for a long time and his replacements are beyond useless. That was us last season to a degree.

Davis has 6 career goals in 5 seasons and Wesley was mostly dire before his injury. The chances of him now becoming a somewhat prolific goalscorer for us after his horrific injury is slim to none.

I shudder to think what would happen to us if we lost Watkins to injury early on next season with your bright ideas.

Even if Wesley gets six in six I’m sure we will buy another striker and loan out KD

My wish list below. I would go all in on three top players and promote youth to provide backups.

A striker/right winger who can cover Watkins, play alongside him or replace Traore as required.
A number 10 who can also ideally cover left wing. Rotate with positions with Jack and give Chukwuemeka chances at 10 also.
A Kante type player to protect the back 4

Listen to offers for Guilbert, El Ghazi, Nakamba, Engels

Loan out Davis, Barry, A Ramsey, Bogarde

Promote Kesler Hayden as cover for Cash and option on right wing. Chukwumeka (who ideally should be getting game time right now in preparation).

If there is money in the pot after all that maybe get a backup to Targett and loan out Chrisene.

If you go to David Lloyd gym you can watch him again, he is there most mornings. You may pick up a restraining order though....

Wondering today if ‘our Chuck’ could save us £40 million on that ball carrying midfielder?
