Send Bailey to Feyenoord for that Kokcu chap!

Been linked with Samuel Iling-Junior, a 19 year-old English winger on Juventus books. They're prepared to sell him for around £10m. Think he was part of the England squad that won the Euro's along with Ramsey, Iroegbunam and Chukwuemeka.

When fit,  I feel  Bailey has had the most opportunites to prove his worth to Emery which unfortunately he hasn't taken.  I see only one outcome.

[Toronto Villa]

I’m sure his dad will still find something to moan about him not getting games. I defended him enough. He’s either flying because of his confidence or a raffle winner conning his way at this level.

[Percy McCarthy]

I came to conclusion a while ago that this league is not for him.

[Steve67]

Mikel Merino being linked. Meant to be very good.

I hope we’re not too sheepish in the negotiations.

Don't want anyone pulling the wool over our eyes.

[Meanwood Villa]

A defensive midfielder? So he can protect the baa-ck four

I like the look of Merino from what I've seen, technically solid but with a bit more physicality than we've got right now, probably the sort of player we need when people casamiro or neves/lamina decide to kick us about the park.

[eamonn]

Was that lamb-pun intentional, Paul?!

Also linked with a £60m move for Fulham's Palhinha, who seems to be quite high in demand.
