Linked with Calvert-Lewin apparently.

Fucking hell can this transfer window be any more depressing?

Not unless we're giving McGinn away for free.

DCL would be a great signing as what we're crying out for is a striker that's regularly unavailable through injury, and that when he does play, doesn't score many.

If he was on relatively low wages I wouldn’t mind him as a back-up striker.

We don’t have a second senior striker in the club so with the financial restrictions a DCL or Vardy with no fee to be amongst the 9 subs is not the worst shout.

With his fitness record he’d be a punt for anyone but ‘if’ you can get him fit then he’d be a decent rotation option

Calvert-Lewin would be a truly horrific signing.

Ironically played well in the game at our place last season . Could Emery get a tune out of him ? And Monchi / Vidagny sort his wardrobe out

No it would have to be a waltz he's that slow. This is the comedy hour surely.

I'd welcome a player who has some style of his own as opposed to wearing some variation of the same tracksuit 99% of the time.

How did the DCL look go for you in Copper Face Jacks?

You're right, he should put on the Stone Island and fall in line.

Correct, if it's good enough for Bouba, Unai, and Dua Lipa....
