    Would be too much judging by competition and "played in prem" tax

    Would you be happy with him? Sounds exciting but literally had never heard of him until about a couple of hours ago

    Really? I’d be over the moon with him - just because he’s not first choice at Napoli doesn’t mean much imo. He’s not an out n out striker really and Lukaku is much preferred for how they play but he’s a very good player. Not only is he a full international with European football under his belt he’s won the euros and Serie A twice. Also really versatile. Why wouldn’t we be turning our nose up at players of that pedigree?

    Would improve us on paper, just depends if he adjusts to English football. Probably worth waiting to see a more reputable source.

    Mavdidi has as much end product as a penguin.

    Penguins are very poor at football.

    His assist stats are non existent.

    He’s quick like.

    My european football knowledge is extremely limited to be fair. Apart from the occasional champions league/europa league game I don't really dabble in much abroad - but good to know cheers

    I think Mayenda is going to the top but still love this bloke. His movement and shot placement is very good already, with a year in England and stepping go into the premier league where his game plan probably is more suited he could almost feel like a new signing in himself. That’s the joy of our young squad they could improve leaps and bounds in pre season.

    I absolutely love Isidor and have defended him all season and will continue to do so. Sign another creative midfielder he will thrive

    I think the same as with Henderson having that experience and “winners mentality” in the squad would be brilliant for the younger lads. Because I’ve no doubt at some point this season heads will drop because the likelihood is we’ll take some tough defeats. Not to be too defeatist but that’s just the reality of the PL these days it’s so money orientated we’ll be coming up against some really good squads. Having a few lads in there who can rally the troops and lift heads could be important imo. I mean, I’ve got nee idea if Raspadori can even speak English like :emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0102-bigsmbut his CV is decent

    I absolutely agree that Wilson can play PL.

    Lovely touch in him. Just wish he could head a ball has a head like an corned beef bake.

    Lots of stick for his hold up but when he does it his first touch, ball control is top, the advantage of him being able to play on the wing it’s improved that side of his game too

    He will get goals in PL. heading and overall involvement are the weak points but they can improve.

    He’s a very decent player and a diamond of a lad.

    Have high hopes for Isidor in the PL. We've seen how good he is when given space in behind and more teams will play high lines against us next season than they did last.

    All about mentality for Isidor now. Mayenda is quite far ahead imo and I’d be investing in him as a 9. Another striker will come in who could knock him further down the order.

    His pace is electric and he has a potential big part to play. Needs to be ready to do a job on the left next year too. Think he’ll get some goals me, with that pace you’ll have a chance at any level.

    I wouldnt say mayenda is “quite far ahead’ of isidor mind. Yes he has been tremendous the last few month and yes his potential is way way higher but lets not forget how good isidor was on the whole last season

    scored some unreal goals. I think he will make the step up well as you say. 2 very good options next season.

    Its a funny one striker wise. We definitely need another but dont want to stop the development of these 2. A good loan option would be good imo, evan ferguson maybe and hes a different type of player

    keep the big money for a centre back, right winger and cm
