    Maybe but Speakman spoke the other day about protecting ourselves over the next 5 years even if that means going down. I'd be disappointed if he's starting on opening day but as a development player i'd be surprised if it didn't work out well.

    He played in a CM 2, they would play between a CDM and a box to box. They would rotate who would push forward and would attack from deeper positions, effectively allowing the front 3 and wingback to attack and being in positions to cover for the wingback'd if they lost possession

    conpletely agree. I said the other day I’d like to use our (potentially) short term status to sign players for the long term we wouldn’t normally be able to

    I would like to think Singo is a target but the price will surely be higher than reports suggest

    Still really like this lad as LCB, his movements remind me of O'Nien just younger, faster and more physically imposing

    3 years left on his deal, 24 years old, first choice for Monaco, I'm not sure what sort of fee is being bandied around but I can't see it being less than £18m unless there's some factors I'm not aware of.

    Crazy to see all of the upcoming Ukrainians across Europe, I swear we got the only dud in Rusyn

    He is rated at £30-35 million and spurs and arsenal seem to having discussions with his agent.

    I've been reading a load of their forums and I must say that view is consistent with that of the majority of their fans.

    Some French reports reckoned it was closer to 35-40 last summer can't see them more than halving it.

    Maybe high 20s?

    I think in future it'd be best to stick to the up and coming ones, 25 year olds still there maybe for a reason.

    I've watched a lot of Mykhavko now, surprised bournemouth aren't interested to replace Huijsen. Him and Zabarnyi would be class.

    Have noticed with Ukrainians they talk a few months to really settle so that might be the thing holding people back a tad, get em in early for the whole pre season.

    Can't see us paying more than £25m for anyone this season.

    Would certainly have to be someone special if we did, once we've signed someone should get a better idea.

    I’d like to see some links to wingers soon. I think both wings need quality

    Was one i wanted in the championship, not sure he could be a premier league first choice.

    Only sending because its refreshing to see players choosing to stay in europe.
