Very impressed with him last night. Like someone said will be out of our reach soon if we don't act fast. Might even be to late come summer.

It's too late already. Callum Wilson was being quoted at stupid amounts, Brooks will be even more.

Think he's probably out of our reach already - Bournemouth will probably want around £40m for him now and I can't see us paying that. We've missed the boat on a few players like that...

Brooks
Cook
Hughes
Maddison
Lookman

Agreeded!

Personally not that into Wilson, think he will have a hard time playing at a big club.

Absolutely. He could probably "do a job", but it wouldn't be worth it on the amount they would want in today's market.

40m is a good price imo - in this market. We wont pay that though, mayb in the summer if Brooks is keeping his form for the rest of the season.

We can’t underestimate how much playing time would affect young players’ choice. Plus Howe seems a good coach to develop under. I think this summer is our chance and we should look at him as one of our top targets. Ticks too many boxes.

I agree. Will probably be to expensive for us now though.

I would imagine they would want way more than 40 million. I would say more like 70 at today’s prices.

Have been very very impressed with him. He just looks like a top class player on the ball and the way he carries himself. I could see United going in for him in the summer.

Still gutted we didn't go for him, I think our only chance now would be if Bournemouth got relegated, which isn't happening. Damn shame.

If Eriksen goes in the summer I can see us going for Brooks.

Would be a mega fee but all upside and Poch loves working with younger players.

We took speculative punts on the wrong players in Janssen, N'Jie and N'koudou and as a result we shy away from just about everything. Poch now seems to want top drawer players or nothing. Brooks looked the part when he was at Leeds let alone what he's doing now. We're in a situation where young players like him and Maddison want to play in the EPL, not sit on the bench and we can't realistically offer that until they're fully proven, by which time they're out of reach financially. We should probably be looking at Jack Clarke now.

We should definitely go for him during the close season he'd now be my number one signing I'd gladly pay 50 M for Brooks, in fact I'd take Brooks King Ake 100M could do it.

I think 40 - 50 million of ENICs pound coins would be needed, I guess it's a pipe dream. I better put mine down.

Good trio indeed. Always said that we need to replace Jan with Aké.
