    RW
    RCB
    GK

    If we sign anything other than those positions (unless they are Mbappe type upgrades on what we have) in that order - I'll be completely lost.

    Bakayoko is a huge upgrade. Belgian international who is lightning quick, skillful with a good goalscoring and assist record.

    Cheaper than Mbeumo but potentially better in the long run.

    Don't get why Vlachadimos isn't given a run. Better than Pope.

    Because he was never ever wanted. They've already tried to sell him and loan him out.

    Should be getting rid of that useless sack of **** Dubravka.

    Vlachidimos is our best keeper by a mile.

    Bakayoko has been doing well for PSV, very Madueke type player. I’m not sure on Elanga, he didn’t do anything at Man U and then doesn’t really start for Forest unless im mistaken.

    I did say about Bakayoko in Sep 2023, when I felt we should have had the clout and foresight to tempt him with CL football. A year and a half later, he’s now really standing out and therefore gong to cost a lot. Same with Mbuemo and Semenyo, our tin pot scouts seem to wait until they get in FIFA team of the season before recommending.

    Bakayoko was clearly too risky anyway so instead we went for Harvey Barnes because relegated players are clearly the best option.

    Is scouting really that ****ing hard?!

    Our scouts are very good at **** scouting.

    Not an awful lot of success stories for them.

    Elanga is bang average.
    We should be looking at players that will improve us. He won't.

    If we sign him then it's proof that talk of a project is bollocks.

    If he does then he needs to go.

    If it does then he’s unlikely to be going anywhere!!

    A small rumour of Kudus, again a year or more after it was obvious he was a good player.

    If he leaves then EH can **** off. That's my tipping point
