    O’reilly would play the ELF role I believe and would give us a LOT of physicality alongside Xhaka and Diarra. No idea if it is mind just my opinion on where he’d fit

    Yeah I'd love Welbeck to come in, ticks so many boxes;
    Knows the league
    Knows the club
    Wouldn't be a huge transfer fee
    Scored 10 last season
    Great team player
    Great in the dressing room
    Would aid the development of our young strikers
    Fits our system really well
    Hates Newcastle

    O'Riley is a top player and i'd be surprised if he's the one we're supposedly in for.

    Think the only way that one would work is if both Neil and Browne are leaving. Then we could run our midfield options something like

    10: O'Riley, Rigg
    8: Diarra, Le Fee
    6: Xhaka, Sadiki

    I'd much rather prioritise wing depth and another CB though, even if O'Riley is excellent.

    I don't think we will sign him but just know he's been linked previously

    He is different to our other CMs and would give us a goal threat our others don't have

    Agree there's other pressing needs but he improves the squad and should bring goals to the team so def not against it as he's a quality player

    Would come down to our budget, I'd hate to buy o'reilly then we don't have money to strengthen in the wode areas - suppose the club would know best in this aspect

    If we do sign him they have to use that clip in the announcement!

    Absolutely obscene that six. Now I see that I am fully fully behind this hypothetical and not likely move.

    I remember saying at the time of this game bringing him back in the summer would be the dream

    One big plus mark for O'Riley is that Ange at Celtic used the same 442 press as we do and O'Riley was the midfielder that joined the striker to press the opposition defence, which is something I think we lack currently

    I'd say Buonanotte more likely than both Welbeck and O'Riley

    £7.5m? That gets you about a fifth of a Rudoni FFS
