I think Trez and AEG are more complete players, but Traore has superior speed and strength. I doubt you will see him placing crosses in too often, but maybe we rely on Cash with those.

Ok, I base my opinion on just few of his YouTube highlights . But really never seen so one legged player in this level in attacking role before, never ever touches the ball with his right. Of course based on his stats he has still produced, but I'm limited in that sense that I can't see past his handicap.

Then again he will do nothing with his right leg so just focus on blocking his left and any chances to cut inside. Easy. Just like having basketball player with one hand.

my 12 year old son said that Traore is one legged and very limited player. So I watched few mandatory youtube highlight videos and yes the right leg is there only for running. At the same time seems also fast and strong. Still would rather we signed someone like Benjamin Henrichs.

Offer the 20M for Hradecky or If needed 30M, then we would have really world class goalie imo.

There must be better value than paying 20M for 28 year old who has scored 3 goals from open play during last season. C.Wilson I would have understood as short term solution. Still hoping that this is total media speculation and Lange will soon work "his magic".

Josh King is rubbish and only going to get slower = end of his game.

Have mentioned Lukas Hradecky few times here, he would be amazing signing. Better than Heaton.

All the speculated targets might be just rumours, but the fact is that this team needs several first team players to have good chance to avoid relegation next year not to mention climbing up table. And for them to have maximum impact they should have arrived already. That definitely must have been the plan, anything else would have been just amateurish. So for some reason we are not able to deliver to the set plan. I think we are already limited to the current players when considering september starting lineups. Thats Steer or Nyland in goal and Samatta or Davis upfront. I think the current team can improve as well as the above mentioned players, but this is still huge risk also considering lack of squad depth.

Ah shit we did not get Eze, would have been one of the first names on my shipping list. Will be amazing in 2 years time. Got a feeling that this window will be a huge dissapointment and next season a struggle.

Or we panic as we consider going into season trusting to Davis, Samatta and Hogan to provide the goals. And then have to pay premium to get at least someone in.

Midfield containing Buendia and Grealish would be defensively very week. I still see Grealish best used as winger with more freedom to operate.

He is so tiny that this only rules out Ryan Fraser.

Yes they have, they just do not score goals.

Did not check prices from transfermarkt, but here is my list: Abraham 40M Eze 20M Tarkowski 25M (or Tuanzebe 12M) Hradecky 15M Total 87 - 100M. 4-5-1 or 4-3-3 Hradecky, Guilbert, Tarkowski, Mings, Targett, Trezequet, McGinn, Luiz, Eze, Grealish, Abraham. Subs: Heaton/Steer/Nyland, Elmo, Konsa, Hause, Taylor, Jota, Hourihane, Nakamba, Lansbury, El Ghazi, Wesley/Davis/Samatta. First team good enough, subs not so.

Agree, depending on length of Heaton injury, I would go for Lukas Hradecky . Challenge is that he needs to be no 1, like any great keeper we would sign. So what to do with Heaton when he eventually would be back. If heaton is expected back soonish, then maybe Reina (loan 6 months) or Foster (free agent).

I prefer Tammy 40m to Origi 20m.

I would keep away from Buendia, poor man's Bannan. Light-weight and defensively abysmal. We don't have Pukki to make the clever runs for him.

Tammy also creates those chances with his continuous movement, strength, speed and aerial ability. He opens spaces up for Mount etc to score. If we could have Tammy for 30M, I would definitely go for him. Most likely Chelsea wants 40+. Going to new season with Samatta and Davis as only fit alternatives is anyway not an option. C.Wilson would cost 15+ M without resell value after contract ending, bigger risk. Bellotti would be inspirational, but moving to prem has risks.

I would try to get Benjamin Henrichs from Monaco, currently on loan at RB Leipzig, can play full-back or midfield role. Reportedly has 15Meuro purchase price included in the loan deal. Very fast, skilled, strong, great vision. Absolute steal with that price.

It's early days with Alex, but so far not impressed! I was expecting performances like this and now I'm quite depressed. utv

With current transfer policy (SELL) I prefer McLeish. He is negative, but keeps clean sheets, I'm still very optimistic that with N'Zogbia and Bent we score enough goals to stay in top flight. Hopefully Delph, Bannan, Albrighton, Clark and Delfouneso can make impact, even though McLeish (not known as one to nurture talent) is in charge.

Well we have Bannan, Delph, Ireland and Petrov left for the middle of park. Hopefully we get someone in before end of window, otherwise it's only going to be relegation battle. In my mind it is insane to loan out Makoun 2 days before window closes and before we have secured replacement.

action speaks louder than words....
