Team takes on a very different complexion with Luiz.

Add Luiz and Kubo and baby, you got a stew goin

Those last two in particular fit the profile for young, quick and direct wingers. Really hope we don't end up with Harrison again....

There always seems to be a promoted team who go wild in the aisle, then all these new players hate each other, the existing squad resent them, and it ends in beautiful beautiful disaster.

It’ll be James Garner & Jack Harrison and we know it

Gana and Luiz centre mid, Ndiaye, Alcaraz and Kubo as the attacking midfield 3 behind Big Bad Baz up top, is that the dream?

Yes it fucking is.

Yeah in my best Obi Wan voice, "These are the players we are looking for".

Luiz and Kubo would be some statement.

Can't see it but let's hope.

Roughly translates to saying Roma are leading the race.

Can we afford both and Barry?

I know we're out of the worst of the PSR stuff but bringing in multiple 25-30 mill players feels scary.

I think I have PSR PTSD.

Ipswich went nuts last year- done absolutely nothing.

I believe so. But to be honest despite what some Journos have said only the club themselves will know what the budget is.

Hopefully we can make it all happen somehow, big ask but here is to hoping.

Gana, Garner, Ndiaye, Alcaraz, Harrison, Beto.
Except in Jan, when we swap out Gana for Iroegbunam and Ndiaye for Richarlison due to AFCON

I do think we can probably eat what looks like £100-120m this year. The one difference between this spending and the last, is *most* of the players linked would be able to be sold again if it doesn't work out (and actually look to be filling a hole, as opposed to just being available and willing)

Sunderland are signing good players and seem to have a clear recruitment plan.

I think that, with the size of club they are means they’ll be competitive next season. Same with Leeds.

At the moment we have the 17th best squad in the premier league so I’m not smugly writing anyone off until I see is sign players to take us to a different level.

Most itk’s reckon we have between 50 to 100 million max, no way do we have 120million.
