Dybala is a free agent and wants to go to the premier league, come on Acun work your magic (I know there’s no chance)
 
Muriqi bagged 23 goals in La Liga... would be incredible business for us and would certainly be at the level in the prem. Like to see us try our hats in the European market, over paying for top championship players seems to get u relegated, copy the Sunderland, Bournemouth,Brentford, Brighton model. All I know is this is about to be crazy but I dont think for a second Acun will want to consolidate, out of our full team only 4 or so are probably at the level with a few more probable squaddies.

...And hopefully avoiding the likes of Pelkas, Sinik and Omur!

Buying quality Championship talent only seems to work if you’re an established Premier League team and you can ease them in. For example, Lewis-Potter going to Brentford was a great move for him and them because he wasn’t thrown into the starting XI straight away. He was even used as a left-wingback in a back five or an attacking left-back in a back four before getting consistent minutes in his preferred position. Contrast that with Greaves going to newly-promoted Ipswich and he and they struggled in the Prem.

There’s no guaranteed blueprint for success. Forest signed a billion players in their first season but it worked in keeping them up and kicking on the following season. Sunderland were a bit more methodical and that has worked too. For us, I don’t know what approach we’ll take. Like him or loathe him, Acun is unpredictable but has the contacts and charisma to get players to sign for us that would probably be out of reach under most circumstances. Dublin and Hodge seem to be more measured but we’ll need both elements if we want to stay up. Çalhanoğlu at City is so out there but I think if anyone could do, it would be Acun. Supplement that with some quality signings from abroad and proven Prem players and I think we’ll have a strong squad.

Wouldn't mind Summerville from the spammers, lively and always looks a threat when I've seen him, and Mavrapanos. How realistic that is your guess is as good as mine.

Too expensive imho. I’d love him too but we need to be shrewd with our business. I believe acun will be more in the business of short term, big wage deals on cheap, and a few long term inexperienced lads
 
I think Acun will be desperate to get a few of the top Turkish players in, and it makes sense, sells the club to Turkish football fans too. Simply being in the premier league makes that a whole lot more accessible.
