Some reports about us wanting Weston McKennie who's out of contract this summer. No idea whether he's available this window but that's Mingueza, Wilson and McKennie who all have their contracts running down and could help strengthen us.

There could be something in this. My uncle has a small sausages and crisps distribution business in Perry Barr and he’s cancelled all the staff annual leave for the next 3.5 years. His mate is in reinforced mattresses and he’s just bought a caravan in Dubai.

There’s no one that we’ve been properly linked to or even signed so far that’s got me super excited maybe apart from that Marmoush who I don’t think was actually a thing anyway
All ‘they can do a job’ type bodies

I don’t see it at all. And he just scored vs Wolves.

I noticed Ayari has scored for Brighton today, whenever I’ve seen highlights of them he always seems to be involved and looks a decent player.

An option for the summer maybe. Bissouma on a free from Spurs. He's 30 this year, never really shown his talent since moving from Brighton, but Unai loves a player who's lost his way.

Wages are always going to be a problem. I'd rather we search for a younger player on lower wages that can be developed. Ideally at an age with a resale value too.

This is key. We need to lower the age profile, the wages and increase the athleticism of the squad. The issue is Emery prefers a finished product although clearly he’s willing to give players a go if he rates them (Rogers).

I'd happily take Wilson, think he would be a really smart signing that would be an excellent squad player.

Bissouma is a position we need to find a much younger more mobile option in that stays fit. There must be options out there.
