    Lewis will go to a proper team, Norwich had some good players id take Aaron's Godfrey and Cantwell too

    Wilson is class, injured a lot but gets goals

    Cantwell yes

    I'm not saying I'd be upset about any of them, but I don't fancy them much... Think they'd struggle

    Lewis and Wilson absolutely wouldn't like. Lewis is going to end up at a top 4 side, whether it's now or over a stepping stone club

    Looks like this loan is going ahead. Will be very pleased if we get him. He is exactly what we need - a decent defender who is comfortable on the ball. We spend too much time chasing long balls from the likes of Fernandez and Lascelles.

    You need a minimum 4 and generally a few spares. He can also play right-back and is streets ahead of Krafth and Yedlin and better on the ball than Manquillo. Its a loan - absolutely nothing to lose and strengthens us.

    I thought that last season we lost a lot of the defensive solidity we had built up in previous seasons - I don't know whether it was the change in style, players like Schar and Lascelles having much worse seasons than previously, or a lack of midfield cover. I can't see any signs that we are going to be able to cover for that by scoring a lot more goals this season, so we need to put it right.

    I don't think he's any better than Fernandez, Schar, Clark or Lejeune. Probably better than golden boy Lascelles but I imagine they'd play together

    We need 2 proper full backs too. Not a centre back who can cover there

    The sides weaker than last season having lost willems who was one of our only good players and brought in nobody of any significance... Signing more dross like you say I'd not what's needed. The other sides are much stronger too
