I wish we'd push through the Mitrovic deal before the World Cup. He could cost a lot more afterwards

[Deuce]

If we sign Issa, surely we should come up with a utility and storage-inspired nickname for him just like we did for Bouba?

[Andy S]

Mitro would be priced out of the market if his price went up too much. We know he is good and would probably do a job for us but championship sides it is no at 20m. Even prem sides who is going to risk more?

Supposedly interested in Standard Liege winger Edmilson Junior

If Joka is making the decisions then we should back him 100 %

He knows more about football than all of us collectively.( yes I have said it )

IN JOKA I TRUST!!'nnnn

Absolutely .......  if we capture Wardrobe Mk 2, Grealish and Mitrovic...... what a spine to the side ! (Have to trust Jokanovic to shoehorn Grealish and Cairney into the same eleven).
Find an International keeper (Italy's is fantastic...... we can dream) and 10th place at least is 👍

[SP]

I can't see Grealish joining us after the play off final?

[wheelerdeeler]

What would peoples ideal window actually look like? Genuinely curious with all of the opinions on here. Personally I think we'll spend about 80 mill (give or take) and would look at something like this;

Joel Robles (Cover/Starting GK, Free)
Moritz Bauer (Starting RB, 8 mill)
Matt Targett (Starting LB, 5-6 mill)
Fabian Schar (Starting CB, 6 mill)
Christian Luyindama (Cover CB, 4 mill)
Badou Ndiaye (Starting CM, 15 mill)
Oliver Norwood (Cover CM, 3-4 mill)
Adama Traore (Starting RW, 15 mill)
Mitrovic (Starting ST, 20 mill)

That works out at 78 million, and then if we could get another 10 or so from the sales of Button, Cisse, Kebano plus whenever that McCormack money comes in I'd look at someone like Rondon with his 16 mill release clause as a rotation/potential starter option if Mitrovic struggles in the Prem.

We are interested in Henderson, young Man U goalkeeper who was on loan to Shrewsbury last season.  He can be an outstanding keeper on his day but is mad as a box of frogs..good team man.   I see quite a bit of the Shrews as I live in Shropshire.

Apparently West Brom are looking into Bobby Reid, price quoted is £7m. I'd be happy to get him in at that price, looked class when we played them.

He isn't

Is Jokanovic not deciding whom he would like to bring into the Club? I ask because (i) it would surprise me if he were not; (ii) I don't know the answer.

While I can imagine that Jokanovic may not have the final say on how much we pay for a player or what salary we're prepared to offer, surely Khan Jnr has learnt enough from the Kline saga to realise that Slavisa knows best which players are most likely to complement our style of football.

We still have the same two or four box process that is in place. Joka has a say, just as stats and scouting and finance do.

Thank you for answering my query.

The specific point about which I am unsure is whether it is possible for the other parties in the tick-box process to 'out-vote' Jokanovic and bring in a player whom he does not want. My assumption is that, while Slavisa may not get every player for whom he asks, every player who signs is someone whom he wants. Is this much true?

West Ham United have called an end to their hunt for Fulham midfielder Tom Cairney after the newly-promoted club refused to discuss an exit, according to Claret and Hugh.

The Hammers news website, which is a reliable source for insider information, report that the club made solid enquiries about the Fulham captain but were met with a 'flat no.'

Claret and Hugh claim that Manuel Pellegrini gave quick-fire approval to a move for Cairney immediately after his appointment, with predecessor David Moyes putting the wheels in motion for a swoop.

A club insider is quoted as saying: "We tried but there was absolutely no movement on the issue at all – they refuse to sell the player."

This is a major development in a chase that has lasted several months, with Moyes eyeing Cairney during his time at the helm.

You would think, and hope, so. Anecdotally, such an approach has failed in the past as SJ hasn't played certain players.
