If we're going to splurge, it should be on MGW. Other than that, hopefully some astute buys to strengthen our RB, RW and DM options. Another Lindelof type deal to give cover at CB wouldn't go amiss either (assuming Ty's on his way).

Agreed if we’re selling Rogers I would definitely be looking at Gibbs-White

Whoah, what's with this selling Rogers chat? I meant splurge using our increased CL budget, if it's sufficiently large.

Yep, blimey we win a trophy and fans are selling our best players already.

That said, I reckon MGW will push for move now.

I wouldn't be amazed if he still ends up at Tottenham, if they stay up.

To be clear I don’t want Rogers to go, but it’s a possibility and in that event I would look at Gibbs-White

What do folks think of Sarr from Palace as a winger?

MGW would be a great addition. What we don't know though is what our budget will be so players like MGW could be very gettable or a pipe dream.

Spurs triggered a clause last summer at £60m.  Not sure what happened after that, but suspect MGW got a better deal and Forest increased the value of the clause.  Selling Morgan for £80-100m and buying MGW for £60m does feel worth the risk given the balance would go to the accountants.

MGB would be an incredible addition.
MGBGT would be even better!

Fucking hell, has he started again less then 48hours after winning our first trophy in 30 years?

I know. I didn’t have much time to come on yesterday and popped into this one and we’re off again. Blimey

I’d only sign him so he’d stop scoring against us. But then again I’m sure someone at Palace will replace his goals in our annual 3-0 defeat. Probably Guessand

Can I just point out regarding the new striker/ winning the league proposition, that the current champions managed it having spent £60m on a player not fit to lace Ollie's boots.
Mam U spent 300m on 5-6 forward players in the last 2-3 years and none are as effective as Ollie.

Unfortunately, Oli McBurnie won't be. We'll have to look elsewhere for our 30 goals a season striker.
