I'd rather Jordan Rhodes than Hogan to be honest!

Sky Sports News Transfer update also reporting both West Ham and an un-named Championship club have been in touch. 

Bedeau might not be counted as a signing i.e. he won;t be first team.

Could well be Taylor + 2

Imagine Ashley Young, Taylor and Rhodes

                   Johnstone 

Bree       Chester    Baker      Taylor

Adomah Lansbury Hourihane Young

                 Rhodes Kodjia

Bunn, Elphick, Bacuna, Amavi, Jedi, Thor, Grealish,

My predictions:

Taylor + cash in with Ayew out

50% chance of Rhodes

95% chance of this mystery man Bruce mentioned (Hopefully a left winger but probably Alex Bruce)

99% chance of Tishibola leaving

65% chance of Westwood leaving 

50% chance of McCormack leaving

There's obviously real interest in Taylor, Bedeau and Rhodes who you expect to be the 3 ins. But where does the one the press haven't got scent of yet fit in Tony's secret formula??? Not four in surely?

Unless he's not counting Bedeau as he isn't a first team signing.  Or maybe Bedeau is the "swap" i.e. 95% he's coming in and 95% he's going straight back out on loan. . .

I hope we get Rhodes, there's no reason he can't do a Charlie Austin - similar players! 

Ayew to Swansea, Taylor to villa, spare money spent on Rhodes.

Does Taylor then become the starting left back with Amavi used as the left midfielder we need? 

Rhodes up top? 

Barrow looks exciting but I worry about a lack of end product! 

As for Taylor, good player, but surely a championship club can't warrant having both Taylor and Amavi? 

Amavi off for big money maybe? 

I guess what I'm saying is a winger and a goal scorer would make this a dream window! I love Kodjia but he misses several chances as well as scoring one, a finisher next to him would be ideal.

McCormack and Ayew out to bring in Rhodes and Gradel

Never in a million years!

Well if we've rejected 25million for Amavi and Ayew has been mentioned at 12-15million, it won't be far off that! 

Some need to go though for sure!  That Villa transfers account seemed to think Ayew leaving is already agreed - I guess that would make sense if we bring in another striker!  He certainly won't be here longer than the summer in my opinion.  I also think Amavi will leave in the summer, but we'd get £35m-£40m for those two to pump back in.

This window, I'd like to see the back of Richards, Westwood, and McCormack

Are we really going to sign three attacking centre mids, or will this guy play left midfield?

As expected!

Leaves a week to look at LW and ST options

Think it's two players. Bree and Hourihane is my guess.

Yep it's two players for sure - Bree and Hourihane

r u itk or just hopeful

I'm not itk, someone I know thinks they are and has told me those two are done deals.

To be honest, I don't think you need to be itk to realise we're in for Houihane and Bree, and have been in for Brady and Rhodes. 

You can see the positions Bruce is trying to strengthen! 

McCormack needs to go whilst he still holds value! We don't want another Bent situation on our hands!

Hourihane and Bree already done 

Ayew and McCormack out, Rhodes and Brady in! 

Johnstone 

Bree Chester Baker Amavi

Adomah Lansbury Hourihane Brady 

Kodjia Rhodes 

Tony keeps banging on about two signings like there'll be done together. 

I personally think Bree and Hourihane are done and will be announced early next week. 

Then we definitely need a striker, he only rates Kodjia and Gabby (shudder). I think he'll offload McCormack, Ayew, Kozak and RHM this window or next. Any of Rhodes, Ulloa, Assombalonga or Hernandez would do for me. 

A left winger would be nice too! Brady (expensive) or Judge (out of contract) would be good, or even a loan . .

Great assists from both Bree and Hourihane in this video too!!

Interesting comments about Hourihane - that one sounds as good as done too! 

Four signings?!?!

1 - Hourihane

2 - Bree

3 - Rhodes

4 - Brady

Johnstone

Bree Chester Baker Amavi

Adomah Lansbury Hourihane Brady

Kodjia Rhodes 

Bunn, Elphick, Bacuna, Jedinak, Grealish, McCormack, Gabby

Selling Weswtood and Ayew to fund it!
