Looked up Strand Larsen and they paid £27m for him, so would want £30m+

Don’t think we would throw that much at a back up for Ollie

£40m is what they're apparently quoting West Ham, having rejected £55m from Newcastle in the summer.

The next time we spend big money on a striker it should be on Ollie's long term replacement, not his reserve.

The only argument is when that should happen.

We need a Duran type that isn't bonkers. Someone that will be ok with maybe taking a year or two of sub and cup starts while learning to take over from Ollie.

Spot on.  Aim a couple of years younger but with a higher ceiling.  we could probably have two attempts at signing this bloke before Watkins is done and hopefully both could step up.

Like him. Raw, but has potential.

The window is officially open, lads! Enjoy the winter draught from your armchair.

If that was a deliberate play on words, I salute it.

We were linked with him at the back end of the summer.  The barcode fans don't rate him but perhaps Unai sees something in him to work with.  Loan to buy might make sense.

I was impressed by his pace in the first game of the season.

Is there a touch of a young Watkins about him? Rumour was that the summer deal was cancelled because UEFA said they’d void the Ramsey revenue. Not sure if that would still stand though…

Thank you, I wouldn't normally Americanise but I'm falling for a girl from Harrogate who loves American Football. Not sure what to do about it.

I don't know what I think of Osula, has a bit of Keinan Davis about him in that he does all the bits of the game outside the box well but just doesn't look like he's got any confidence or ability in front of goal.

Of course I've always seen Calvert-Lewin in the same way and he's managed to have a decent career and had a couple of good seasons so I'd say maybe but only for a sensible fee.
