More than happy if we have three or four on loan / we should do, it makes sense! Spread the money out a bit (although I appreciate there are loan fees) and spend big on certain areas

I’m more than happy with what we have done so far, and the links to the players in positions we need. If Tete had come off we’d all be ecstatic at the window!

Signing a for quality - loans for squad depth.

Absolutely nothing wrong with multiple loans if they're mainly just giving us options off the bench or for rotation.

Obviously excluding Grealish in this who has absolutely been brought in to vastly improve our quality.

That's a low release clause that they put in his contract as the only way to get him to extend - on the "open market" he'd be going for £80m+ I think

I still have a fear that we're going to end up with Raheem Sterling

What’s happened with Lopy? Thought that was almost done

Seems to have been a crap rumour in the end

Pinch of salt based on the source

Everton have submitted a £37M bid for Roma Striker, Artem Dovbyk. He is keen on a move to England.

For 37m, that's a very favourable deal for Roma. Are we the poor cousin?

Not being critical of your post Brownie, to be clear.

It's things like this that make me certain that football rumours are just entirely made up until it's from a credible journalist - we have no RW, no RB and two ST already, there's no way we're blowing 37m on a striker.

Being generous, at absolute best we might go for a Beto + cash deal if Moyes doesn't fancy Beto and Roma want a striker who has already performed in Serie A

I know you’re not - I never post any of this with anything other than a small % of believe in them

Yeah, there’s swap potential if Moyes isn’t interested in Beto. Gasperini has gotten a tune out of Duvan Zapata, who was also a handful physically but a bit rough technically.

Would like to see some proper interest in Maitland-Niles.

Seems to play his best as right back, can serve as midfield depth too, cold as fuck from the penalty spot as well (we might actually win some with the attacking players we’re assembling).

Multi club ownerships almost always favour one club...and right now, Roma are probably it.

Given the links to strikers we've seen percolating in the background, I'd not totally totally rule this one out. Add in a bit of PSR/FFP shenanigans too ala the Dobbin deal if we send someone their way...who knows. He's also been linked with some other PL teams like Leeds so could also be a not very subtle way of trying to boost the price.

Will have to see if anyone else beyond Football insider mention it.

Is he any good?

Dovbyk?

Looks good in attack in Serie A last season and outstanding two seasons ago in La Liga.

Not much else to speak of. Consistently rates highly in penalty area touches but who knows how easily that translates from system to system.

Meh out of possession. Doesn’t look like a player who Moyes would want to set the press although neither does Barry, really.
