I'd love us to be audacious and go for someone like William Carvalho, "huge coups on talent alone" would fit this. However, I doubt that would be an easy signing and I'm sure a bigger club will be looking at him soon enough.
We did pull off modric when others were linked.

Great to hear most itk seems to be in sync with one another and is very positive!

Off for a tour of the Belgian beer abbeys in the next few days. Will have to see if I have an ITK epiphany. Hic.

Good to hear that McCarthy wants to join us, I am hoping this is despite City's alleged interest.

Problem is City's interest helps Everton push the price up.

Did we not extensively look at Batshuayi last summer and decide against it though?

Well if McCarthy is really keen to come, and we're really keen to get him, perhaps we will get into the zone of what they might accept for him.

Maybe a long shot for Belgian forwards, but what about that Obi Oulare kid we were linked to a month or so back, playing at Club Brugge? He is like 18/19 years old, 6ft 5 and bags of pace. Getting a lot of likenings to Benturkey and Bukakku, would be a pretty low-risk transfer initially with the fee being probably around £5m-£7m? With the potential to become a monster of an attacker...

Or it could be Batshuayi...
Or Mertens...

Think so. Thing is, he has had a largely frustrating first season at Marseille. He was mostly benched due to Gignac's form.

Was very selfish at Standard though. Talent is there.

As a Belgian, I can't see any other candidates in the forward department other than Michy and Obbi Oulare of Club Brugge.
