Based on what we currently have in the squad i think we will see the Europa League prioritised over any run at top 5. Its the better chance of ECL qualification with the limited resources we have .

Douglas Luiz to Forest by the looks of it.

Still, not particularly bothered about it being him, it's more about rivals strenthening.

I'm sure we'll be just fine, what with our not bothering to sign anyone.

He said on camera that he missed Villa and Villa Park. At least he'll be closer now.

That’s a shame for him. Massive step down.  Notts Forest had a good season last year but will be shit again soon.

It’s alright, the one thing that materially changed the second half of our season and made us good, rather than mediocre (quality options and variety) has gone, I’m sure it won’t be a problem.

We should be signing Luiz, if ever there was a no brainer of a signing it's him. His technical ability is levels above Onana and Barkley. I'd back him to get his spot back off Tielemans too, or at least release him to play further forward.

I love Dougie but we need a centre-half and a wide forward (with pace). Those are the priorities, centre-mid just isn’t.

I'd be fuming if we wasted what little money we have available on central midfield, even if it were Dougie

Is the right answer…

As much as Dougie is a good player we absolutely have 4/5 positions to fill before centre mid

Left mid, with pace, is the most pressing for me.

We need a right back, if Matty Cash is our man again this season, I think we are not going to go where we need to be.
