Considering its possible that we're going to miss out on the CL and therefore have to be clever with our recruitment, there are a few there that would be astute signings when they go down

Lewis and Cantwell are the two id take in a heartbeat from Norwich. I’m still not 100% on Aarons as every time I’ve seen him play he gets knocked off the ball quite regularly due to his small size.

Cantwell could be a real asset if he cuts the petulant stuff out. He can also be a bit selfish. Lad has potential. I agree Lewis has impressed me more for his defensive discipline.

Cantwell was a constant thorn in our side when we played them. He was very good and could do the same job Lamela does.

I really like Cantwell but would probably take a Grealish over him as it stands. Cantwell will be more attainable for us.

I actually think the opposite regarding their fullbacks. I like both but would take Aarons if given the choice of either.

Hes grew in to the game against us and virtually ended up running the show. Lovely touch, creative I think he’d thrive with better players around him.

Yeah maybe I have spoke too soon about Aarons and he is a young kid so deserves the chance at a bigger club like ours. In all seriousness I would probably take all 4 of Aarons, Lewis, Cantwell and Buendia from them!

The vultures will certainly be circling if they go down!

Seen this lad a few times and he definitely has potential. He is big and strong enough to play up top on his own, similar in height to Kane but not quite as big as him yet, but that can be worked on.

The jump from Scottish football to Premier League is the only thing that nah be a problem, however if he is essentially back up to Kane that I don’t see it being a major issue as he will he training every day with these guys.

The article is mainly about Everton looking at him although a bit down the article it credits us with an interest. May be nothing, may be something.

Really reminds me of a young Lallana, out of all the Norwich players he is the one to go for. Be it even if we lose Lamela (due to never being fit) or Dele who sulks and doesn't really add anything.

Still not impressed with Aarons, never watched a game and thought wow, what a RB. He is always very average. Albeit, we have very average full backs, i just see this as such a minor upgrade.

Now, i'd also love for us to go after Ismalia Sarr, if Watford go down. He destroyed us and has that power / pace that players like Bale and Zaha have which we are massively missing. Bergwijn, is quick over 5 yards, but we still really lack killer pace in our front line.

We recruited better when not in the CL. Just something I’ve been thinking about. Maybe good players yet to achieve something are more driven to get there than those already sampling the competition. Maybe it’s easier to recruit them too?

His name crops up on here frequently but I think the fans need to bang the Jayden Bogle drum a bit more.



Atal is injured, nathan ferguson has been playing more at left back and overall stats aren't great, Pereira might be expensive, and Aarons is all well and good but he's got just 2 assists this season in all comps and supports Chelsea...

I don't understand why we're not looking more at Bogle (an England U20 player) - I think he'll be quality - as good as option as Atal IMHO.

Not long before he's in the England U21 team which, seems to be where we are looking to shop for home grown talent.

I think he’s the one we should be after. I’ve liked him ever since I saw him in the play offs last season. Reminds me a bit of Kyle Walker.

There is a player called Bozhidar Kraev who is a Bulgarian footballer who currently plays as a midfielder or striker for Gil Vicente on loan from Danish Superliga club, he is only 23 and can play all positions across the midfield and he is good playing as a striker,he is 6.2 feet tall and can use both feet.

Because I still watch Edwards play I have seen him play a few times and he has always impressed me and below are some of his goals he is the number 24, he is also a very confident Lad very much like Berbatov was.

Not saying we should buy him but someone should because he is very talented and I think he would be a cheap buy.

Though they might be unlikely and a bit expensive Declan Rice and Mcneil at Burnley should be very high on any lists - Rice will be a superstar

I don’t see it with Rice at all. What makes you think he’s gonna be a superstar? McNeils a good player but not sure he’s going to be anything more than that, has a chance though, but maybe lacking a touch of pace for his position. I think Eze makes more sense as he’ll be a lot cheaper and theres loads of potential there.

Looks great on video and also I love fullbacks who know how to use their weaker foot.
