    There’s no way we’d lose either of those targets if we were genuinely interested. We have beaten both teams to joint targets already. Yes Spurs can attract players but that lad from Nice would be a Puel signing so would very likely give us the advantage over Spurs if we were bothered

    Simranjit Thandi has left us to join Stoke - pity as he was a good prospect but he has too many players in front of him here.

    Former youth team RB - a few of us thought the reason why we hadn't signed a RB in 2 seasons was because reports were that he was more then half decent.

    Roma are set to lose Alisson for a world record fee and they are rumoured to want to spend a bulk of it getting Kasper as replacement.

    Liverpool and Chelsea are also interested.

    Surprise surprise, Schmeichel has an outstanding game, and suddenly everyone wants him <laugh>

    Roma want to go through the whole Mahrez type saga again with us? They just need to admit they can't afford top players.

    Alisson is set to go for £60M+ so they will have a couple of quid.

    We are close to signing Patrick Roberts for £10m - looks like it will be a separate deal to the Mahrez one.

    It also looks like we are close to signing Jordan Lukaku.

    We are linked with Iago Falque - a 28yo right winger from Torino.

    Maguire linked in shock move to Man Utd! Only surprise about that is they didn’t start the rumour the morning after the Sweden match when he scored. Hopefully he read Mourniho’s comments about him diving against Colombia. Can’t see the owners letting him go and not for £50mill (VVD has set a precident). Get him on a new contract ASAP

    Edit - given we also play Man U first game and that’s when the window closes I’d be surprised if Mourinho didn’t start playing games

    We have been linked with Smalling who is rumoured to be leaving.

    I’d take Smalling as an addition (apparently he was available for 15mill before which is good for a player of his proven level) but not instead of Maguire. I think we should be more concerned with an attacking midfielder to replace Mahrez. Only deadwood should be allowed to leave now

    We have Maddison and might be keeping Musa.

    Not from anyone credible just alot of twitter talk and apparently reports from Iran and Holland that we are close to signing AZ winger Alireza Jahanbakhsh

    He was the top scorer in the dutch league last season

    Fee talked about is €22M

    I'm seeing £19M which is the same - was alright in the world cup for Iran but didn't set the world alight.

    All we need now a decent back up keeper. One who can actually push Kasper

    Another centre half allowing us to play 3 at the back we only have 3 centre halfs and 4 if you count Benalouane who needs getting rid of

    Replace Mahrez

    And if we sell Musa, Slimani and Ulloa then another striker

    The advantage we have this season is we have 2 proper holding midfielders in Ndidi and Mendy. Silva has never looked comfortable doing it and Iborra did ok without setting the world alight

    I think we still need to get rid of Benalouane, James, Musa, Ulloa and Slimani

    Give Kapustka a chance or loan him to a championship club so he can actually learn the English game. Loan Barnes to a championship club as he looked really good for Barnsley but looked too raw when he played for us and same with Choudhury. Get him playing every week in the championship and next summer Barnes and Choudhury could be good players for us
