To add to @OutByEaster?'s nine, I'll add Burnley, Southampton and Leeds as sides I just cannot see going down. Silly me.

Both still available I reckon. Sangare would be under £10m and the preference as he can play in the more advanced role and let Grealish go to LW.

Why did Haaland only cost £8m for Salzburg the same summer Bournemouth spent £20m on Dominic Solanke? Many clubs are silly and don't broaden the net wide enough with transfers. Plus there's the mental thing of players making big jumps too soon. Playing in front of 6,000 and 80,000 isn't the same and some players' brain will fall out as they can't handle it. Haaland might have struggled if he'd gone straight from Molde to Dortmund. Probably not though as they are sensible and wouldn't have had him near a pitch if he wasn't ready. Regardless, Brentford have better recruitment than Man Utd. Atalanta have better recruitment than Real Madrid. The bigger sides will catch up eventually, but it's an area where the smaller teams can enjoy themselves for now. Hoping Lange and McKenzie can make us a side who don't waste £25m every year on crap players. In this particular case, Haaland had a buyout clause, Watkins doesn't. Annoying, but if we want him, we have to pay the price.

Niall Quinn used to pull over onto Wright for long balls. Big Al used to scamper up his leg and clear everything. Don't quite know how.

Benrahma had a brilliant striker to play off in Watkins

Have we bid for either? They aren't exclusive, we might get both. I don't think that price is crazy for Watkins. I think he'll play at leasy 100 games for us in the next three seasons and be great.

It's all about the performance. I care about Villa winning, not who scores. He will score more than 0 goals, fear not

None as a player, no. He gets through too much good work to not be incredibly useful for us. He could score 0 goals and have a good season. If he struggles early on, he's intelligent enough to figure things out and make it work. Only thing is obviously the price, but it ain't my money and he's a really good player. I'm worried more about wasting money on bad players than overspending on good ones.

I have zero concerns about Watkins. Over the next three seasons he'll be an excellent player for us.

Not next Wednesday??

Dusan Vlahovic would be an exciting one to target. Big target man with loads of potential. I reckon we could get him on loan and offer a big fixed fee they like the look of.

This guy is mustard. If we didn't get him this summer, we'll never get him.

Eliasson has a very low ceiling. Worth noting he made loads of chances that Bristol City didn't finish off last year though. Not what we need to be doing in that position though. We need to be signing starting wingers to push AEG and Trez into the sub role, not signing more back-up level players.

I don't think there's many solid links? It's Utd fans making an absolute din on social media and it's put a bit of weight behind it.

Very likely that sky story is porno brothers trying to hurry West Brom along. He could be great on the right wing for us.

Dunno, weird isn't it.

He's had four good seasons in a row.

I wouldn't be touching Butland unless it was under a million after the season he just had. I'm with you on the numbers not really adding up though. He's not better than Heaton so does it make sense to spend £8m plus at least £60k a week on a 3/4 year deal.

Yes, because they're all shit. It's easy not to sign shit players. Do that and we'll either be able to use them or teams will be banging down the door trying to give us money for them.

In Fulham and West Brom there's two sides there I think we absolutely should be finishing above. Last season I couldn't see anyone I really fancied us to finish above.

Yep, but they've benefited from enough ridiculous prices. Now they'll have to swallow being robbed of a player for once. They are at the mercy of Mendes. If he wants to move Neves or Traore or Jimenez on, they're off within a week.

Yes. Unacceptable. Everyone knows we need a striker and a winger. Literally can't believe anyone could think this. All see the game differently.

Can't run before you can walk. I'd love these players...Rashica, Milik etc... Reality is they're beyond us at the moment. It's why I'd love Watkins who I think can be a good top 10 PL player. That's the sort we should be going for this summer. No harm going for the big guns this time round. I'd only be happy paying top top dollar for a player I know has the right mentality and is going to carry on putting it in through bad form, like Jack.

West Ham exactly the sort of silliness that will offer him obscene money to get him.
