    Some of these might be out of our price range, but I believe are worth considering:

    1. Liam Delap - goes without saying.

    2. Mikey Johnston - I imagine West Brom will do all they can to sign him, so this would be very unlikely.

    3. Dan James - Possibly out of our price range, but I’d love him at City.

    4. Sorba Thomas - A realistic chance of getting him I reckon. Thomas on one side and Philogene on the other would terrorise defences.

    5. Kwame Poku - I haven’t forgotten about how good this lad looked when we played them last season (or was it the one before?) This pacy, tricky winger is just what we need. He’s only 22 as well! Could be affordable.

    Haha. I know he’s Leeds and ex-academy, but have I missed something else?

    I think I'd prefer: LeBron James, Etta James, Jesse James, Sid James, Duncan James, Clive James, and finally P.D. to him...Little $hit.

    Yeah I don’t understand the hatred. I’d have him here in a second.

    I’m pretty sure Leeds won’t loan us a player and continue to pay half his wages, so it’s fairly academic whether people like him or not.

    Poku is a good shout for the right hand side, that’s probably a priority position for this season.

    Some others I’d consider for our forward line:

    Jamie Donley (Spurs U21s) - 5 goals and 12 assists in PL2. Ideal replacement for Carvalho, very direct forward. Loan.

    Leo Castledine (Chelsea U21s) - 10 goals and 9 assists. More of an attacking midfielder than a winger but can play wide right. Loan.

    Albert Grønbæk (Bodø/Glimt) - confident midfielder who plays on the left of a 3, but can operate as a wide or attacking midfielder if needed. 7 goals in 10 games this season (Norway’s season is only ten games in).


    Macauley Langstaff (Notts County) - has hit double figures for the last three seasons. A proper poacher in the box, wouldn’t break the bank. There’ll be Championship interest this Summer for sure, usually it’s teams like Burnley and Luton who snap up lower league talent, hopefully we can steal a march on them.

    Glimt have already turned down a 10 million euro bid from a MLS team for him allegedly. Which means 15-20 million euro for a player doing well in League One standard (on average)... Not sure if that is the going rate?

    I wouldn’t say no Iké Ugbo. Did very well for Sheffield Wednesday and seems to be a hard-working pressing forward who can do a bit of everything. Karamoko Dembélé was brilliant for Blackpool this season. Bojan Miovski might be out of our price range and will probably go to Rangers but Acun has been promising us a big money forward for a while now. I’m a fan of Élie Youan at Hibs and Chris Willock too.

    Is that Poku who played for Norwich? If so i'd have him here, he get's all over the field and scores goals.
    Forget that, looking above I can see it's a different player.

    Tyrese Campbell has left Stoke, hasn't he? ..He'd be on my radar, unless his injury worries are too much of problem..That's why they have medicals I guess. Unlike the old days when it was hope for the best.

    PS..Teemu Pukki was at the budgies
