Would like us to go for takashi inui Japanese midfielder. Looks solid.

Just signed for Real Betis so not happening.

You are correct, they are expecting a lorry load of paper clips to be delivered, sorry two lorry loads.

Adama Traore has an 18m release clause according to the Sun. Would be cheaper than Cavaleiro.

The guy has absolutely zero end product...and that was in the championship....we can do way better

This myth that he has zero end product needs to stop. You can say he needs to be more consistent with his end product, especially with how often he gets into good positions because of his pace and physicality- but getting 5 goals and 10 assists last season when he didn't play for the first two months or so of the season is pretty good going for a winger.

Personally I think he'd be a good balance on the other wing to Sessegnon in that they offer completely different things as wingers. Plus I think Jokanovic could coach and improve him.

5 goals and 10 assists last season isn't bad - only 4 goals and 1 assist less than Aluko got for us in that same league / position the season before.

Not saying Traore isn't a good player as he clearly has ability - but putting into context what £18m seems to buy you at the moment. Personally I'd want more for that money.

If it came down to £18m for Traore or £4m for Aluko I'd rather the latter, and ideally a right sided forward who's worth £18m+ and likely will get more goals / assists than Traore at that price.

Joe Bennett from Cardiff? I think that would be a decent signing

Joe Bennett from Cardiff? I think that would be a decent signing

Purely speculation but was in South Kensington with his agent yesterday with the caption "A good day" Seems we've missed out on Targett as Southampton don't want to sell but were after Bennett this time last year and he had a great season so maybe something in it? I'd be keen.

Would someone explain why Spurs would be interested in him anyway. 3 goals in the championship last season and 5 the season before... sorry I don't get it...

If he needs a blanket to warm him up I'm not sure I want him.

Chambers just confirmed he's signed a long term contract with Arsenal. have to say, I think it's pretty poor of the club to start off pre season training with only 16 players in the squad. No idea what Slav would make of it but if I was him, I wouldn't be overly keen to signing up long term with this presented to me. Really surprised we haven't shown a little metal in closing some signings at least. Poor show.

slav not signing is my major concern and understand his feelings looking round at the bare squad of players and thinking to himself why is it the same every pre season.

You don't know what's going on behind the scenes, or what efforts the club is making to bring in players.
