Hard to judge as it’s Scotland and the Europa League but the Celtic striker Edouard sees to be knocking them in. He looks a reasonably good player and I doubt would cost the earth. Started out at PSG so must have something about him. Admittedly I haven’t seen much of him bar his goals.

Seen this lad a few times and he definitely has potential. He is big and strong enough to play up top on his own, similar in height to Kane but not quite as big as him yet, but that can be worked on.

The jump from Scottish football to Premier League is the only thing that nah be a problem, however if he is essentially back up to Kane that I don’t see it being a major issue as he will he training every day with these guys.

Like I said last season with Neal Maupay at Brentford, Ollie Watkins this season has been a large key to their success up top (along with Benrahma) offers plenty of running for them, knack for a goal and has room to improve.

If they don't come up, as is their business model, they'll sell for the right price.

I like the look of Watkins. Really stepped up goals-wise since being moved to the centre this season after Maupay was sold.

He’s got real pace and is big and fairly strong. Decent on both feet and and good in the air. The bonus being he can play off the the right too.

He’s a bit rough and raw, but I think he could be the sort of Kane back up that Jose might like.

In sheer frustration, I went on Google to find out WHO is scouting for us. According to them, all the major people left in Jan. So can anyone tell me what the answer is ??

I'm really excited about this kid - Gabriel Veron.





Not as flashy as Talles at Vasco (been linked with Liverpool) But I think he has a very strong direct approach. Excellent control at high speeds and he's quite diminutive for his size. He's a fighter and works hard. But his biggest asset is gliding past players which would be perfect for a counter attacking team.

Probably not what we need right now but I'd love to think we'd start to buy and then loan out these talents.

Such a talent, shame we didn’t look at him



We did. I've talked a lot about him in the past, and Hercules said we wanted him but believed we had no chance against the big boys. He was about to sign for RM and he got injured.

Yea I know he was going to sign for Madrid but there was no links to us by the media that I saw.

I don’t take notice of itk so I don’t count that.

Bellingham looks like he might end up a very special player. £35m? Seems a lot right now, but in a few years he could be worth 3 times that amount. Difficult one

I used to play football with his dad, and my mate knows him much better than I do, I'll get him to have a word!

Worth a look at Buendia and Cantwell at Norwich? Aarons in as well?

Fuck it, I'd take Pukki as backup too.

Aarons and Lewis are options. Cantwell? I think he’d be a steal for whoever gets him. You watch him go to Liverpool and become a regular. Of all the touted young English creators that have played at our place since we’ve moved home, he’s impressed the most ( in defence of Grealish, it was first game of the season and he was actually awful, a yard or two off of everything, he has since adjusted and then some )

The way Norwich play a few of their players would slot seamlessly into a top side that plays in a similar way.

It’s weird, because 2/3 of their back 4 is being touted for big moves, their two creative midfielders are too, and their striker would probably start at quite a few PL clubs. Their manager is praised for his football yet they’re rock bottom. Strange.
