    Think there are countless clubs looking at Rutter from all over Europe and guaranteed to get a profit on his record transfer fee. Meslier admired in Europe, Spence was one for the future and why Spuds bought him, not really had a bad game since he got fit and looks more dangerous than our forwards at times. Ampadu has done himself big favours since he came to Leeds and Gnonto is coveted in Italy, Germany, France and the Prem by coaches who are maybe more switched on than Farke. You could be spot on Gessa but I reckon somewhere in the middle is probably closer mate <laugh>

    Have to say that Rodon looks a very good Championship defender, however there's very little evidence that he'd excel at PL level. That said would still like to sign him on a permanent as he does at least have potential plus we might be in the Championship anyway.

    Of the rest only Summerville and Rutter are good enough and young enough for clubs higher up the pyramid to take the gamble. To be honest both could play for top sides in the PL even though they're not ready yet.

    Oh forgot about Ampedu who's going nowhere as he's found his level <ok>

    Spurs want £20 million for Rodon and he's on Premier league wages. We can't afford to sign him permanently.

    Josh Doig from Helas Verona is our first LB rumour. Played 32 Seria A games and before that over 60 SPL games. A few Italian clubs plus a couple of English clubs chasing him as well as Rangers? Surely we are not going for a LB after all these years

    Think he’s found a home here at last. I can see him staying however it goes this season.

    We can't afford not to though as there'll be plenty of interest in him in the summer.

    Agreed though that wages are likely to scupper any permanent deal.

    He has a big decision to make, since signing for Spurs,2020, until he came to us he had only made 31 appearances, 15 Spurs, 16 Rennes. He's now 26, does he want games or not. Checked out 3 sites this morning and they have his wage down at £10k pw, more than double what he was on at Swansea, that shows he was only ever considered a squad player, his contract expires 2025, his transfer market value is down at anything between 6 and 12 million but we like Villa with Mings seem to have increased his value
