    I really like Diarra but still hope we go for Lennon Miller as well. I want a British core and he is the best prospect in Scotland so would like to add him to our 2 local lads in CM then add Diarra to Enzo - plus 1 more would do nicely for CM

    I wonder if Phil smith not rubbishing it and actually confirming he’s on our shortlist reads good for Nixon’s story. He gets fed a line from the club

    Very very good value there, and cover in all 3 positions.

    I didn't really read it that way, but I do think Phil is just regurgitating all the rumours and knows nowt new.

    Yep that's it, can play all 3 positions and has massive upside. I also don't think it'll take him long to adapt to the PL

    Miller will likely cost 7-8 million which is a bargain with his upside

    Talk about how much Rigg will improve next season and Miller will be doing the exact same, long term probably a 6 but maybe more useful as an 8/10 currently would set us up for the future immensely.[/QUOTE]

    Yep him and Rigg would be an unreal partnership in a couple of years - 2 unreal prospects

    Still have a feeling Henderson might come in as the 6th CM

    If it's for free to make up the numbers then I'm willing to accept it would be useful. As long as there's more minutes going to our young lads, but think it leaves us without any "destroyer" sort of midfielder to break up play.

    Thinking about the current rumours:
    Le Fee €20m
    Bulka €20m
    Diarra €25m (I think we'll offer the 25m but sway the deal with a clause if we stay up and others)
    Vanat €17m
    Miller €10m
    Lauriente €18m
    Henderson €0m

    Would be €110m spent with RW, LB, CB x2 and a backup RB imo. Plus of course raising funds with sales.

    Yep my concern would be that 'destroyer' type but I do think lads like Miller can be that person - very intelligent at winning tackles - plus the energy of Enzo, Neil, Rigg and Diarra would help us be hard to play through

    We will be smart with the money I spend i think, can't just throw money at it - we will find some real bargains as well

    Yeah I think that would be a pretty great start and hopefully leave us room to get in the rest of what's needed, suppose a midfield 2/3 of players who all get a bit stuck in would make up for it.

    Agree with all this, also if we do go down, Miller is way more likely to stay.

    Lots of external transfer activity on the go.

    Club trying to tie down mayenda with a new deal as well as others after the former has some big interest.

    Yep if they can play as a unit it'll give us a good chance

    Doesn’t surprise me at all that he has a lot of interest. Think he has so much potential. Really hope we get that sorted and he shows what he can do in the Prem.

    From what I hear it's just a increase in terms not a fear he wants to leave or owt.
