    We are linked with Tammy Abraham from Chelsea - a big 19yo striker who scored 23 goals for Bristol last season.

    Stuttgart want Zeiler and looks like we've missed out on Bruma to RB Leipzig.

    ... we can afford it ... our owner is a billionaire ... but we won't pay the daft prices that the top 3 clubs will be paying - that's for sure <ok>

    I can't say too much because nothing has been announced yet but put it this way, our owners are looking at City and Chelsea and thinking "why not us?". They've honestly got absoutely massive plans and if they're going to achieve them then this summer is going to be very exciting. They're unbelievably ambitious and I'll happily put all I have on them achieving their goals and in 10 years time LCFC will be a very very different club. This CL experience has left them wanting more and we'll play CL football again.

    Don't know why I'm talking 10 years, their initial plan is the next five and where they want us to be by then is "wow" and they achieved their target for the last five so I'm very conident it will happen.

    Good to hear that they are putting that much commitment into the club, their investment sofar has been solid and long term, like the training facilities and youth development, not that i thought they were looking to flip it like Mandaric anyway...

    Surely its going to be doing them a great deal of business in Thailand too.

    There are a lot of reports about Mahrez to Arsenal for £35M now Wenger has signed a new deal.

    Also Vardy is linked with Liverpool and we are linked with Joe Hart.

    The Vardy link to Liverpool appears to be just Leon Osman commenting that he is just what they need ...

    Always saw Arsenal as the most likely destination for Riyad Mahrez should he stay in the EPL (given French connections) ... much prefer if he goes to Monaco or PSG if he leaves <ok>

    Kaspar going for Joe Hart coming in? ... fair enough if we get close to £30m for Kaspar ...

    I prefer Kasper over Hart tbh but could do worse if he leaves.

    As Man City are going to bring in some Portuguese kid for £45M and De Gea looks like staying, Kasper could be around for a while longer.

    Lets hope this is the case, you'd certainly say that the Man City link is out now. Still too early in the window to say for certain if he won't leave though.

    Would have liked Begovic in, but we've acted too late on that one, or more likely, not acted at all on it.

    Really rate him - really hope Kasper stays now...

    Problem is that no one wants to join us while the manager situation is up in the air - owners need to set that straight asap.

    Mercury reporting £50m for Mahrez, not surprised by that but I'll be surprised if anyone pays it.

    We know Ulloa and Mahrez want to leave

    There is interest in Morgan, Vardy, Gray and Schmeichel

    Taking sentiment out we should be looking to get rid of Okazaki, King, Benalouane, Zieler, Hamer, Musa and Slimani

    I cant see us clearing that many out though

    Can see it being more for Arsene's benefit so when he signs for them for around £35m, he can claim he has got a bargain.

    West Ham were interested in Benny, half a dozen or so German clubs are linked with Zieler and Sporting want Slimani back for half of what we bought him for.

    Personally I'd keep Okazaki, King, Hamer and Slimani as squad players at the very least.

    Sadly I think King is done, he never does anything he's just anonymous and now we have James back, he'd be after Drinky, James, Amartey and Mendy if all fit.

    Okazaki definitely keep and I don't see him leaving and we need to keep Slimani too but we should play him off the bench to come on for Vardy so he plays as a no.9 and we change our attack accordingly. He gives us an aerial threat and he scores and creates goals. I reckon fit he's worth 15 goals easy.

    Zieler get rid along with Musa.
