I'd take Casemiro on a free if he could be persuaded. Can cover for Kamara until he's back and then we would have competition all over midfield. We also need more nasty twats. No more than a two year deal, though, given his age.

That's why only on a one or two year deal. No different to loaning Rashford/Sancho as we have done in the last two seasons.

Agree with the logic but feel that money should be spent on a winger/AM.

Hmm, winger you say? I could be persuaded.

And doesn’t help the age profile of the squad either

Casemiro would also get sent off regularly once the protection he receives by playing for Utd disappears.

No to Wilson...coming off a fantastic season no doubt but going to demand a massive contract. Casemiro, that's a piss take? 22-25 year olds needed.

Wilson won’t demand a “massive” contract. He’s worth it as a squad player.

Our form fell off a cliff when the midfield got injured. Can't let that happen again. Need younger players for the future and to keep the wage bill manageable but also sign some immediate impact players, doesn't matter if one or two are older so long as you don't give them stupid length contracts.

I’m absolutely fine with Wilson on a free. Hard working midfielder who has played well all season at PL level. He’d come in to replace Barkley is my guess if we signed him. But a bit of quality is absolutely needed. CL qualification is critical for us to do that. And if we do need to sell Morgan, then for it needs to be someone like MGW at Forest. A player of that quality.
