    Shane Long is fed up with his lack of playing time and is looking to move.

    The way he's been banging them in lately, there won't be a club in the country not willing to pay £20 million for Shane.

    The Toon fans say they are in for Josh King, I reckon he would be great for us and a good age too, surely we could match them and he would not have to move house either.

    He's had one good season. The asking price would be too high and I would much prefer Iheanacho who is rumoured to be available.

    Having one good season doesn't preclude him from having others and Iheanacho hasn't scored 16 PL goals in a season yet and I don't think that Citeh will be giving him away cheaply.

    Because he's been on the bench 75% of the time. His goals to minutes ratio is outstanding.

    I reckon he'd have to take a pay cut to come here and I reckon that his price tag might be a bit strong too.

    £20 mill allegedly. Not a huge amount more than the fee it would take to get King.

    I'd pay whatever they're asking. Proper talent that boy (and the ****er always scores against us).

    Its not always as simple as that, you'd probably have to readjust your whole pay structure to fit him in.

    Doubt it. He's probably on 50k or so. Still a kid.

    I'd love to see him in a Saints shirt, but (shoot me down if it happens!) I just cant see it.
