• Jamie #19, how do you know we are not shopping in those locations? We have a new recruitment director who found gems in those leagues when he was working at Man City. rnrnJay #18, could not disagree more on replacing Gana being top priority. KDH moving into Gana\'s position would be the ideal partner for Garner back there if we can bag a quality #10, and if not, Iroegbunam, Armstrong and Rohl could compete for the position. We should not be spending a dime at DM. CB, RB, wing and striker are all much higher priorities for me. ...

• These links what a load of rubbish. rnrnYou wouldn\'t get progressive clubs like Bournemouth, Brighton and Brentford shopping in this market - Premier League has been\'s. rnrnNothing ever changes at this club. rnrnWhy not go and shop in the Belgian Pro League, the Austrian Bundesliga, the Swedish Allveskan, the Danish Liga, the Brazilian BrasileiraornrnThese are where a lot of the whizkids are found. Unknown young players with huge potential. rnrnSeriously, what is wrong with this club?...

• Apparently an insider has said there is no interest in Wan Bissaka. Shame because he is a major improvement on a wasted CB currently playing there. Cant see Walker-Peters wanting to play in the championship either.rnrnSooner have Richy back than Jack Grealish. More goals and would run through brick walls for us.rnrnWe have to replace Gueye as a matter of priority. Suggest a tilt at Kovacic from City, Stiller from Stuttgart or Morten Hjulmand at Sporting.rnrnA better quality LB is also required although there aren\'t that many that would come to us. Possibly Alejandro Grimaldo from Leverkussen.rnrnA goalscoring MF player wouldn\'t go amiss either, especially if we lose Ndiaye. suggest a tilt at Hakan Çalhanoğlu at Inter Milan. I don\'t suppose we could attract Foden from City.rnrnQuestions arise over Dibling, Armstrong, Aznou and Tyrique George and the almost certainly departing Patterson and McNeill.rnrnAnd straight left wing a top class GK to put Picks ...

• Jack - average age of the team this season WAS below 28. And that is based on date of birth on date of match and averaged over the whole 38 games....

• Don\'t fancy Gnonto at all, I\'m hoping against hope we can get a right back that\'s a decent fullback and a centre forward who can hold the ball up. I know that may be an obvious requisite but just saying that\'s all!rnIt\'s all very well buying speedy midgets or wingers but we need someone who can link play and take a bit of pressure off the team when they\'re under the cosh.rnThe trouble with Barry and Beto seems to be their ball-control, do they not practise that at training any more. I know Lineker\'s control wasn\'t great but he offset that with his poaching qualities which neither of the two afore mentioned seem to possess. ...

• At £10m Wan-Bissaka is an excellent value, but he\'s only a depth piece or stopgap. Not close to the level of quality we should be pursuing to move the club forward. rnrnOur top three targets from West Ham should be Summerville, Summerville and Summerville (in no particular order).rnrnJohn #6, and they are always in top condition. No injury issues. ...
