Demari Grey a good shout as would add quality and depth to our wingers, also still only 24!
Striker, I'm not so convinced about Josh King, not sure he would provide goals needed.
I think Origi could do a job, I doubt we would get him but players not getting game time ieninacho (spelling way out) of Leicster would be brilliant
Demarai Gray is an awful player, Leicester fans have wanted rid for a while now.

Im a sucker for super tall strikers so Paul Onuachu would be my guy.

Realistically it will be really tough to get anyone of the right quality in, so prefer if we move on people who don't make the squad, reintegrate Josh and get Mitro involved in our system

David Brooks AFC Bournemouth is a quality player.

They want £50m for him, never going to happen

Brooks was out injured for most of last season which is why " he did next to nothing last season".

Be specific.

I think we need two attacking options.

The only definitive player I'd like to see us get is Tyler Walker from Coventry.

But I'd also want a more experienced attacking player as well. Someone with prem experience...closer to age 30.

I want TK to raise Diego Maradona from the dead. Then nothing can stop us.

I don't think he fits our tactics - he's too slow and doesn't track back.

Demarai Gray is an exceptional young player. Has everything Lookman has and more. Can play either side or up top. Add him plus a high quality striker and the goals will come.

I think he could replace Cavaleiro up top and do just fine. If alive, he is as fast as Messi back in the day.

So we have no money to buy and are only looking at loans. So that rules out every prem player. We won't get the top championship players on loan, so we will have to look abroad. Who's any good who will be willing to leave their club mid season and join a relegation scrap. I'm not getting my hopes up in this window.
CHRIS MARTIN IS SO BAD,  WE NOW PRAISE HIM FOR MAKING A RUN.

Could be on he wrong board but in answer to OP  - claudia Schiffer would've nice.
1975 just leaving home full of hope


Maidstone Lee

If push comes to shove and we have to pick between a RW or ST then we have to go with a ST. No more domestic loans available so we would have to look abroad or buy from the lower leagues i.e Championship. Armstrong at Blackburn on a permanent or take your pick on loan from abroad. Seen the likes of Dembele mentioned think he would be great but would he want to come back to us? Can't say I'm fond of him after how he left but he scores the goals that keep us up who cares. Thinking about it, free agents can sign anytime but are there any decent frees out there? I'd imagine they'd have been snapped up by now if they were.
Stand up if you still believe!

Sturridge, mandzukic, bony, musa are all available as free agents. These are probably the best ones available and all a bit old but could do a job for 6 months

Literally the options there are : Sturridge, Borini, Alexandre Pato.

Sturridge again proved a walking (barely) injury in the turkish league last year. He's perenially injured, would be a waste of money.
Borini - yeah, no.
Pato - did very little of note recently, didn't do anything at Chelsea, couldnt get into the team, last impressive season was in China now let go after a season back home in Brazil...

So the free agent options are few and far between. IF Sturridge signed a deal that meant he only got paid his weeks wages if he featured in a match then sure. Otherwise, no chance what so ever, waste of a spot really regardless - he will get injured inevitably.

So....who know what our FFP situation is. But if we sold Seri, MLM, Johansen, big Kev, Onomah, Fabri, Odoi - we could maybe raise 12mil - 16mil at a push? Is that enough for a decent prospect striker?
Toss in sale of Kebano and Onomah to try and push that to 18 -20mil replacing them with youngsters Tyrese and Carvahlo?

what does 20m buy us?

Saw Musa but more of a LW isnt he, didnt spot Madzukic but he must be 83 now, hasn't been prolific really since about 2015. If we want quality it's gonna be a scouting miracle or a fire sale to create the funds it seems

ex-Pat

I would like to see some English players  coming in...

AnOldBrownie

Whatever player we get would have to have...

Pace
Work rate
Some ability to score

A player that can replace either RLC (whose playing as one of our attacking players currently) and/or Cav.  An interchangeable piece up top that can switch positions with our other attacking players, and press the opposing back lines when needed.

If we wanted any of those we would have signed them in October to allow 3 months to get up to match speed - I'd we sign them now it will take a couple of months to get them up to speed and we need an immediate impact in my opinion (I would have like sturridge in October mind you)
