Hope not

Just read up on him, he sounds like someone we should look at if we have 10 million left

Better get on the phone to Lange

We won’t, mores the pity. I can’t complain the owners have dropped hundreds of millions into this club over two seasons

Just had a look on my phone at him of course he wins everything in the air he’s 2 metres tall!! all I could see is that he’s played a full season in league 1.

We weren’t talking about what was likely just that there are some really good players in the championship this season. As for hype let’s lay a few things out, he played in a relegation team for 11 goal involvements whilst his minutes on the pitch were the equivalent of 22 games. The season before he got 15 goal involvements in Ligue 1 in the equivalent of 31 games. In the same season in the Europa League he got 7 goal involvements in the equivalent of 8 games. That is the mans output, without talking about his obvious abilities or the fact he is 22 and can play anywhere on the front line. If we were a year ahead of where we are now and I were buying players to improve this team/squad he would be right at the top of the list. Sarr, Barkley on a permanent, Sangare on a free (out of contract next summer), Aarons, Tuanzebe and Wijndal. Kalinic, Elmo, Taylor, Lansbury, El Ghazi, Samatta out the door. At that point I would consider us to have a full squad and expect to be competing for European places in the league.

David Brooks is 23 he has scored 8 goals and provided 5 assists in his entire time at Bournemouth as a right winger/attacking midfielder/second striker according to Transfermarkt. That is not a Jack Grealish back up he plays on the opposite side and a major step down. In this imaginary world where we can afford them this month Benrahma is the best back up for someone like Jack out of that bunch. Sarr would have been my top choice for the right. Also Buendia is nothing like Traore like Kiwi said but he is wrong on Sarr

I know he is good but I rate Benrahma, Sarr and Buendia above him personally.

Pfft I couldn't see any use for him the guy even smokes, that's a disgrace for a footballer.

I hope that was a joke

Great. Still your response to me made zero sense, I haven't seen him play and saw how many minutes he played and commented on that. I didn't say anything else. Nothing about his ability, nothing about having seen him play, nothing about not investing in young players, and nothing about looking at his analytics. You have attributed things to me I have never said, and its weird.

Because I have never seen him play? Because I have only seen his data of a grand total of 6 or 700 minutes of championship football. How you have decided I don't look at the long term I will never know. Here is the exact and only comment I have only made about him "Looked up Collins he has played 600 mins in the championship over the last 2 seasons and they have only played him in the EFL cup this season."

There is a handful of really good players available but they aren't where we need after the signings we have made. Aarons and Buendia at Norwich, Sarr and Hughes at Watford, Brooks at Bournemouth and Benrahma at Brentford.

Apparently so

Correct

If he is of that level there isn't that much point

I can only see that argument for a centre back as that is the only one we don't have the cover for, the club obviously disagrees or they would have at least loaned someone.

Looked up Collins he has played 600 mins in the championship over the last 2 seasons and they have only played him in the EFL cup this season.

just to buy/sell to the leagues below

Thomas Kallas? Has he done well since he left Chelsea?

Joe Worrall same value as Dael Fry

Rather save the money until January if we have it and if we don't I would just run Taylor as back up until the summer.

Dael Fry? Rated as 5m on Transfermarkt, never heard of him but that's quite a high valuation for a championship centre back on that website.

Because I want someone clearly better than Targett, he would compete with Targett not be a significant improvement on him.

Terrance Kongolo? Wasn't he supposed to be good? How has he been playing?
