Cantwell is a very tidy player but as you say he isn't going
I don't subscribe to the view we are spending the money from the supposed sale of Jack either. We have spent £100 million in the previous two windows and are on track to do so again.

If we sign Cantwell or Ward prowse on top I'll have a heart attack. It will be like the O'Neill era but sensible and signing the right players. We can push for top 4 and this time we'll have a bloody goal scorer to get us over the line.
 
For some reason, I’m really not fussed about Maddison.

We have enough forward players now, along with Buendia somewhere inside.

I’d prefer JWP who is more versatile, orthodox, and can whip just as good a set piece in.

I feel like Maddison is heading south, and when we’re talking circa £65m which would be double JWP, all roads lead to JWP for me.


I doubted JWP coming to VP, but after Danny Ings steppin up, I can't see them letting JWP come to us.

We could do with another right back.
 
Bit boring on the transfer front so thought I'd take a look at the odds for everyone we're semi-linked with -

Pogba - 1/12
Bailey - 1/2
Ward-Prowse - 2/1
McNeil - 5/2
Abraham - 3/1
Schick - 8/1
Oxlade-Chamberlain - 12/1
Edouard - 14/1
Pereira - 16/1
Bernado Silva - 16/1
Gallagher - 16/1
Ings - 20/1
Barkley - 20/1
Maddison - 33/1
James - 33/1

So other than Pogba and Bailey, doesn't seem to be a great deal of strength to any of the other rumours.

Posted this last week. 20/1. Could have made a few quid
 
Seeing as we have a very statistically orientated recruitment department, and the with the addition of Macphee.... surley the next signing must be a dead ball specialist?

Hopefully Ings has a word with JWP.

But on current form, it'll be someone we've never mentioned.
 
I was excited back in the day when we spent the Delph and benteke money on veretout, amavi, gana and ayew thinking we were gonna be a force, but they were added to the likes of guzan, Westwood and Richardson...so the excitement fizzled fairly quickly.. now adding quality like Ings and Buendia to martinez, Watkins and konsa and the wildcard of Bailey too, finally we have quality options, can different tactics and formations. I can't wait for the new season!
 
Quick one on Jack- I'm very sad to see him go... but today's signings has softened it. No matter how we spun it before, we were quickly becoming the one man team. Mark grealish out of the game and you beat us. Simple. When he was injured, we looked lost. Pass it to Jack, he'll do the rest. But on paper now at least, we look like a team. Man I got drunk when we stayed up against West ham and I joked imagine how bad I'd get if we actually won something..... hopefully this year we'll find out!!
 
It's also the mixing - defence will be better facing an Ash and Ings.

Watkins, youngsters will be better facing an improved defence.

Youngsters learning full stop off clear quality and experience, even Ollie can learn a bagful from Ings when it comes to solo man up top.
