DiabyKungFu they still got Rasmus and that Dutch donkey. Here he can share serious mins with Kai and also rotate on the wing. Plus would be playing in CL as opposed to EL.

    Coombs I don't know how you can say that when a 60m signing would literally be our 5th most expensive signing of all time. While I agree that looking at our financial positioning and the trajectory of our team (with associated performance based windfalls incoming), we should be able to spend that type of money pretty easily, we don't usually. I have a hard time believing we would sanction a 60m signing this January and then be just as free on spending in the summer as if we didn't. I wish that weren't the case, and hopefully it won't be moving forward, but I can only base it on what we have done to date.

        For everyone that is saying we need to sign someone NOW, who is it that you want us to sign? Tel for 60m? I love his potential but you're paying for his development into that player up front and that's a very risky gamble. He also likely wouldn't have a huge impact this season anyways other than being another body.

        Who are these other strikers or attackers that we realistically could get right now?

          Also as an aside, I do still think that Watkins may move this window with the amount of links that Villa has to Felix, Rashford, Asencio. Everything that has been written about them states they are going to be up against it with PSR even with the Duran sale so someone else will likely need to go if they intend to move forward with any of those deals. I could see Watkins moving towards the end of the weekend if they get progress on those deals. Watkins for 60m would be something I could get behind, although I do think that would mean no Isak/Sesko in the summer.

          Ok. Fun times.
          We only have a couple of days to go. Who could we realistically sign that would make you content with this window?

            I've started to make peace with the idea we ain't getting anyone. Obviously, not telling anyone else what to do, but maybe we should start sharing coping strategies.

              naz seal the isak deal for the summer. 120m, locked in and ready to go for preseason. not sure it fits the 'realistic' criteria, but that's pretty much the only thing that would please me at this point

                Another one bites the dust

                Looks like it’s Watkins or bust.

                  Rashford on a straight loan might be better than no-one to be honest. We just need a body.

                  He is still a name and he will still make opposition managers think and you would hope he has a massive point to prove so the motivation should be there. Also got a good CL goal scoring record.
