We could head back to the Belgium leagues again for Trent Sainsbury.

I think we’re more in the Fortnum & Mason league now rather than the Sainsbury’s.

I have always thought Adama Traore was shit, and bar a very short spell at Wolves where he was slightly improved, he remains turbo-shit for me.

Runs fast, big lad, that's basically the lot.

Exactly, a 20 minute sub option at one of the Champions League team he’d be good but as a starter in a middle of the road team his reputation scares much more than his end product deserves

Rumours on t'internet are that Chelsea are open to offers for Tammy Abraham.

Need to get that done.

£40 million for Tammy. Discuss.

We have to be a bit more clear-eyed on Tammy. I like him, but Watkins is better, and the cost is likely to be well above value. We have other expensive priorities in attacking midfield, if you ask me, which is where the money really needs to go.

A no for me at that price. We need somebody ideally who can play in any of the front three positions, ie a Salah type.

£40m for a proven PL striker sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

We desperately need more options up front and Tammy would give us that.  We need to think bigger that Ollie or Tammy, for a strong squad we need both.

Think the case for Tammy is that him & Ollie can both play on the wing if needed, so playing one doesn't necessarily exclude the other from the team (though I'd see both as primarily centre forwards).

I'd generally prefer to go down the route of having a front 4 (centre forward, 2 wingers, central attacking midfielder) who are for the most part interchangeable.  For example, a front 4 of Tammy (CF/RW) / Jack (LW/AM) / Ollie (CF/LW) / Bertie (RW/AM) could offer 2 options in every position.  We could also switch between 4-5-1 and 4-4-2 for short periods to match the flow of the game, without needing to make any substitutions.

All that said - £40m seems steep to me for a player they don't really want.  I'd happily go up to about £30m for him, but I'd suspect much higher than that and we could get better value elsewhere.  We need to be buying players who'll be worth £40m in 1-2 years time, not players who cost us that to begin with (unless we expect them to be £100m+ players, which I don't think Tammy is)

Can Tammy really play on the wing? Ollie sure, but I don't know if Tammy has ever looked comfortable as anything other than a no. 9.

It's a no from me too. I have doubts about whether he finishes a high enough % of his chances plus we still have Wesley. I'd rather see how Wes gets on and maybe sign someone like Giroud on a one year contract as a back-up striker / experienced head to have around. Doubt the latter fits our transfer profile though.
