I can't see us signing Tammy whilst we have Watkins, Wesley, Davis and the youngster breaking through

also can't see us persevering with Davis for so long to move him on now
we would take a big loss on Wesley purely because of his injury so can't see him going anywhere either
so for me no space for Tammy

Spend the money on the midfield and a decent wide player is what I would be recommending to the board forthwith

According to football insider (yes, I know) we're "preparing a huge bid" for Dwight McNeill from Burnley.

I'd be well happy if we signed McNeill, they'd want too much though.

Do we have a war chest? Are Burnley bracing themselves?

I reckon that in an alternate universe where Lerner and O'Neill are in charge now, McNeil is who we would be throwing the whole transfer budget at.

Edit - in fact it would obviously be a £90m double "swoop" for McNeil and Chris Wood.

I've said it before in this thread and others, I am really hoping for a 'how the feck did they get him' signing.  If that comes with some solid players from relegated teams / clubs who have too many players, then that's OK with me too!  I'd rather revolution over evolution.

I'm starting to think that's actually what we need now. I had a bit of that when we signed Barkley on loan (obvs that hasn't gone to plan), but having Grealish & AN Other as really big statement players, plus having less spectacular but still highly rated players (Martinez, Konsa, Mings, Watkins) would make us a really attractive proposition.

I'm not against picking the better players out from relegated clubs at all, but I'd expand that to anyone who finishes below 5th/6th place now, plus as you'd said a player a bit like when we signed Martinez from Arsenal - a player who's rated at a club several rungs above us on the ladder.

Well, I would be very happy with Dwight McNeill, he is a very good player IMO

We need two forwards, a winger and one of a winger/number 10/striker dependant on where we see Jack playing.

Personally I'd prefer a striker and to use Watkins as predominantly as a wide-man. I think that'd give us balance and Watkins' work-rate would be effective on the wings and he's great at cutting in from wide and shooting.

If we can get Tammy I would, he has a great relationship with Jack.

Buendia/Perreira are both interesting, hard-working players and both could do a Jack-tribute act if Jack was out.

If we're very ambitious then Raphina from Leeds too. Would be big money but I'm sure they'd sell if it was financially right.

Perreira - Jack - Watkins
Abraham

With Wesley, Traore, Anwar and Davis in reserve seems strong enough for me.

Two starting CFs would allow us to go 3-5-2 too.

The midfield needs work, I'm not sure Luiz and McGinn complement each other in a two. Berg is interesting too, and again improves us at set pieces defensively and offensively.

the way I look at is with players like McNeill and Wood is they would improve the squad.... so they'd be useful, but I wouldn't want to pay what Burnley would ask for them.

McNeil is a funny one, I watch him play and think there's a decent player in there but with how Burnley play I don't know if he stands out against a background of shit or if he's being held back by it. I don't fancy paying what they're going to want to find out it's the former.


The price is the important thing though, looking around I've seen it range from £30m (which is about the most I'd go for) right up to £50-60m which is clearly taking the piss so it's a no for me on the grounds of him being too expensive and playing in the same position as our best player when we'd get much more value buying a right sided player instead.

Tammy would be perfect for us.  He will score goals in our team.  Cannot see why anyone would turn their noses up at £40m.

Agreed. We know what we’re getting and we know he’ll score goals at this level (Chelsea’s top scorer).

Everyone talks about “matching Jack’s ambition” to make him stay. Well, this is the type of signing for me. We can’t go into another season relying on Ollie and a backup who isn’t the high standard we require to try and hit the top six. If Ollie gets injured, we’re knackered.

Ideally, I’d like to get him a little cheaper, but English goalscoring forwards won’t be cheap.
