I agree on Sarr. Not really Brewster as he's an out and out striker. Benrahma can replace Jack if Jack is being used as a left winger, but he doesn't have the same level of class. Not seen Benrahma in the middle so can't compare.

Buendia is proven in the Premier league, and plays on the right so rather than get in Jack's way he would compliment Jack and make his task easier as he won't have to worry about getting across the pitch, and can stay in the centre left position drifting out to the left. Then Buendia can drift inside to the centre when Jack drifts to the left. This then create space for cash to overlap. You lots of movement and changing of positions too as Watkins can drift right and open up space for Sarr or Rashica to move forward into the left centre striker position when Jack drifts left.

Buendia can also play in the middle. So you get an extra playmaker in the team which takes some of the heat off Jack but in a way that doesn't negatively impact Jack's effectiveness, and you get a replacement if he is injured or rested. Plus you get a player that created more chances in the Premier league than everyone bar Jack and De Bruyne. Add the fact that we have a distinct lack of invention on the right he would really be the ideal signing in my eyes.

Nearly forgot. The other thing you get with a cultured right footer on the right and a right footed inside forward is that final third cross field ball from the right winger playmaker in that inside right position from the edge of the final third across to the left inside forward around the corner of the 18 yard box which what Man City utilise so effectively with De Bruyne to Sterling.

always thought this, I wonder how many are regular posters on here

come on now own up ya cheeky buggers

Wood...... 

Good in the air

As for DM

Santamaria and Sangare have been mentioned. Billing is inconsistent at best. 

Probably Marko Grujic from Liverpool is the best fit. And they're looking to sell. Was excellent at Hertha Berlin last season.

If Martinez goes the same way as the link to Romero, has anyone got any thoughts on less costly signings, that would be willing to move to us and could do a solid job, until Heaton is match fit? 

How about Bartosz Bialowski from Milwall or  Marko Marosi from Coventry for example? 

Talk of Finnish keeper at Brescia, Jesse Joronen

Good stopper, these clips rarely show keepers coming and collecting corners and crosses. 

As soon as Buendia get the ball, Pukki turns and goes. Don't think we did that once last season. Love Watkins to play Pukki role and Buendia threading them through for him. 

Utv

Buendia came 4th playing nearly 9 less games than Jack

Breaking news. 

Mark Noble to Villa for £1million and a pack of haribos

Romero would be my first choice. 96 International caps for Argentina. 

6'4"tall, still only 33, got 4 years left in the tank

Don't want any Wilson! 

Rather have King, Rico or Billing from the Cherries

Well if nothing else given all the links so far it looks like the club plans to add pace this year which is much needed. 

 

Pace! 

Check out 2:20, this guy is fracking lightning. Quicker than Adama! 

Sorry wrong vid

Arsenal linked with Patson Daka. This kid is rapid. Scored 2 against Liverpool last week, should've had 3 or 4

Buy cheap, buy twice.

You could probably get him for £30m.

Lille offered 30million euro, but Saltzburg wanted a little more. Lille now spent that 30 million euros on the Canadian Jonathan David that a few have mentioned previously. 

Daka is the better player, with Sarr/Traore type pace which is impossible to defend against. He is a better finisher and can play anywhere across the front 3. 

Everytime Mings hoofs it we could be in on goal!???!! 

£30-35million should get him. That's 33-39 million euros

I don't think Tammy will move this summer. If he does it will be for serious dough. Prob £65+

2 lists.

Stay up budget £80

Buendia £28m

Billing £22m

Duffy £12m

Mitrovic £30m + few loans (preferably guys with speed)

Out.

Steer £4m

Trez £8m

Jota £2m

Hogan £5m

Going down budget -£140m

Hector £12m

Bogle £13m

Dack £16m + loans

Out 

Grealish £70m

McGinn £45m

Mings £35m

Love a bit of Buffy!

Why would he leave Norwich to come to us? We are only 1 place above them in the league

Money baby

Our biggest problem as I see it is creating chances. Super Jack for the most part has to do it himself. I'm encouraged by Samatta's movement and pace. We just need someone apart from Jack threading the ball through to him. 

The second most prolific provider in English football is Emiliano Buendia. ( Kevin De Bruyne is number 1). 

Buendia is the sixth best creator of chances in Europe this season!?!

The fact that he's only 23 and playing for Norwich means that he should be at the very top of the shopping list if we stay up this year. 

If we can get Benrahma and Billing I'd be well happy. The 3 B's!

Triple move for Norwich players.

Lewis, Godfrey and Buendia.

45 mil prob for 3

Mitrovic please and thank you
