    The rules are more relaxed in the PL so it's not such a problem, but we also need to plan ahead in case we're relegated. Ajayi was born in England so qualifies, even though he plays fo Nigeria. Zephane is French, but of Algerian descent.

    I was saying to my mates a few weeks ago, I'd love us to go and get Ajayi! Can't remember if I posted it on here.

    I really hope we are looking at him. Another Godfrey type player. He's very impressive. I'm sure interest in him is very intense.

    Cracking call. He is a lot like Gunn. Great shout. Depends whether Man City would demand he starts for a team he is loaned to.

    Ah, nice! Thanks for the reminder JM.

    I think he would fit into our squad, club and system really nicely.

    Can't argue with that and I guess the £1M wee earned from Sky would most of his transfer fee (or ALL of it!!)

    I'd be really shocked if it was as little as that!

    I was guessing 2 - 3.5M

    Chelsea have 41 players out on loan this season, they can't use all of them! Given Chelsea have a wealth of attacking midfield options, even if Hazard leaves, I'm not sure they'll be desperate to have him in the first team. Suspect he might only be available later in the transfer window however once Chelsea have assessed who they have available to them.

    As many as 41!

    If he's available, I'd love us to get him in. He's a talented lad. A good little Pritchard type signing. Not good enough to break into one of the English giants, but a player with huge talent and potential. His value will increase a lot for the prospect of selling him on down the line.

    Klose to Fenerbahce seems to be popping up a lot.

    Although both Klose and Godfrey can play on the left side, they're right footed. To have a natural left footed defender would be an advantage, especially in the PL.

    Though not all have been rumoured, Read Norwich have come up with a list of 10 useful players available on free transfers at the end of the season:

    Some, like Mehdi and Babel have already been mentioned on here but there's some others who could be of interest, like Erik Durm of Huddersfield and the German national team.

    Brentford have great scouting, and they bring in foreign players, develop them, and sell them on for big profit. I'm guessing they would demand a decent wedge of cash if we were interested.

    I wonder how much they would be demanding for Maupay?

    Considering that Ajayi is available on a free, I doubt that we would shell out a wedge on Barbet, but it could happen. Given that Ajayi can play as a DM or CB suggests that he has the skills that DF is looking for.

    Maupay would be way out of our reach financially you told me
