This Bakayoko rumour has gone massive. Seems risky but he was so highly rated when he left Monaco. Literally every major club in Europe wanted him. His stock has plummeted, he could barely get a game at Milan on loan last year and they wanted the 2 year loan ended early. Perhaps if its true that Chelsea and Milan are up for cancelling his contract, the club see it as low risk.

I'd prefer we went for a Maddison, Ward Prowse type of signing where you know you are getting a guaranteed performer in the PL. But looking at the fees quoted, and our approach to transfers it seems unlikely. This idea we've paid way over the odds for Isak does hold some water. But I've watched the lad and his record is deceiving as he played wide a lot (a former target of ours Willian Jose was through the middle when I watched them a coupe of years back). He is only 22, and the size of him, players like that never show their full potential at a young age. I think he might turn into an absolute gem, but the fans will need to be patient and allow him to adapt.

As well as Bakayoko, we've also been linked with Maitland-Niles, Dendoncker, Tielemans and Avlarez. As well as.some srill talking about Maddison and Pulisic, neither of which I can see coming here now. Also some talk that we are still discussing a deal for Pedro. Just hard yo know what to actually believe. Probably get nobody else in now.

Been a great window and happy with our business. Ideal world we get another midfielder (I like Haidara having watched him). I just think Willock needs competition to push him and Longstaff is still not delivering what we previously hoped. I'd prefer Bruno and Joe played those box to box roles. Willock challenging them for those positions. I'd also like a right winger. Miggy has been class, but I still think he doesn't always have the right end product. Fraser is ok cover, but Jacob Murphy, while a nice lad, is way below PL standard, nevermind if you have ambitions of top 8. Hoping for a nice surprise or two.

A central midfielder and right winger would be an ideal end to the window. Don't mind if they are loans, buys, whatever. Quality being the key. I do think Pulisic might be better than he's shown so far at Chelsea in limited chances.

Its good to be finally be involved in a transfer deadline rush though isn't it? Normally we are sat going, "That's a good player they've signed", before quickly scouring the free transfer list on Sept 2nd <laugh><laugh><laugh>

In theory no, but we still need to be careful/sensible especially if it throws the current wage bands out for existing playerd.

If we want to be one of the best in Europe that's what has to be done at some point, the best players get the best wages.
