    Interesting paper talk today, what about these options...

    1- Max Gradel - Covered in another article, so i'll leave it at that.

    2 - Keisuke Honda - Blackburn have bid £7million, he's seemingly keen on coming to England. Cheaper than a certain Frenchman, and arguably a better player, deadly left boot, and a set play specialist in a way Beckham & Carlos could only wet dream about (i think i read he'd scored 40(!) free kicks in his career, despite his young age)

    3 - Matty Taylor - Seems he may go for around £1.2million. The lad has always impressed me, good on the ball, mobile, great left peg and the ability to score from range, that is a pittance, and that has got to be worth a look.

    We could buy all 3 for less than a Zog, insane.

    Aye Honda fireblade, about the same speed as his free-kicks...

    Now that would cause interest for SAFC in a foreign land.......

    He'd strike a great accord with the fans.

    Sorry to piss on your fire, but Honda will end up at a top European club. Unless Blackburn are prepared to throw away their entire transfer and wage budget in one fell swoop, then they wont even have a slight chance of signing him.

    He isn't even being linked this summer mate, can you think of any top clubs looking for a left sided midfielder?

    I sure can't.

    Hes still far too good for us and Blackburn, and Liverpool and Arsenal have been linked with him. Think I read Bayern were keen too.

    Liverpool are out the running now though with Downing, Arsenal maybe, but the link was a while back.

    If he fancies England, it's not impossible.

    Maybe Villa will end their interest in The Nameless One, and go a couple of million cheaper for Honda, letting us swoop for you-know-who.

    Honda, he'd be a bit of a risk coming to England from foreign climes, (Senor Angeleri?), but he does look class.s

    Bit different mate, he excelled in Holland, and bar a couple of notable exceptions, lads from the Eiridivisie have done well here, and he's done well in a physical Russian league as well.

    I would love to get Honda, he looks ruddy brilliant.

    Same as Matty, unfortunately I think he's destined for a top club- or if not, at least one who can offer European football.

    Saying that then if he is set on England BB, I agree we've got as good a chance as any. Spurs, Liverpool, Utd, City and Arsenal all have their left sides sorted- and (Chelsea aside) we have as good a chance as anyone else.
