Would certainly take Wan-Bissaka from them. Like aggressive type full backs. How Westham have kept playing him as a left back at times is baffling? Has weaknesses but considering our right backs one injury prone and the other just might be starting to struggle at this level personally think he would be a very good addition.

No thanks. Too similar to Kenny Tete while Tete is miles better. If we go a new RB route in the summer I would like some quicker and younger full-back like Bellanova, Vagiannidis or Van Ewijk.

I love getting players from relegated teams where they've been so great.

Lookman
Anguissa
Anderson
Roy Keane
David James
Joe Cole
Defoe
Glen Jonson
Andy Robertson
Sissoko
Wijnaldum
Shaqiri
Milner
Zaha
Andy Johnson
Michael Carrick
Craig Bellamy
Liam Delap

Of our relegated team you also could have had Mitro, Ola Aina, Lemina all decent players.
Etc etc.

Plenty of examples of quality players bought from relegated teams who went on to bigger things/clubs

Jarrod Bowen turned 29 last December

Would he be worth a punt if West Ham go down?

Strikes me as a hammer through and through, reckon he'd play on down there. There's better uses of our money I think but if Harry Wilson left he would be a decent addition at the right price. suspect they'll be trying to get bigger money than we'd offer though if Bowen did depart.

West ham mate reckons Fernandes Bowen and Summervile are the only decent players he'd be most worried about losing. Fernandes probably the most useful player in terms of what we need. Back to back relegations where he's been one of the only good players. Unlucky or part of the problem? Tricky one but on the surface he's a quality player.

All total rubbish, not a good player in sight.
