Linked to Alex Scott according to MiguelDelaney.

Enzo Fernandez will possibly be sold this summer.

That's quite incredible actually

Certainly a much better option than Barco.

Balance wise a much better fit than Enzo too

Definitely. It pretty much won't happen but rumour mill is better than reality.

Who the f**k is Alex Scott?

The one who scored the 2nd goal against Arsenal.

Isn’t that knee of his is a big, big, big problem. He's already done his medial and meniscus. Unless the fee is £35m max, I wouldn’t touch him. Even at that; apart from the injury issues, he is another 5ft 10 midfielder. Matheus Fernandes at West Ham is a more interesting option with the Disasi bargaining chip if they stay up. Still think we need to prioritise a 6ft+ mobile player in the middle

Knee problems at the top level isn't as big an issue as it was anymore. As long as it's not muscular injuries, there shouldn't be a huge drop in performances

I'd say through the spine. Strong 6ft+ CB, centre Mid, and a tall mobile CF

So Garnacho is the scope goat .. what about the crap you bought in Gittens delap - selling madueke and loaning out nico - a definite downgrade - sh*t head director ain’t fooling anyone .

None cares off Garnacho is sold we need an upgrade irrespective and you can keep Garnacho as a 3rd or 4th choice.

Nicolas Jackson is open to a return to Chelsea, with sources indicating the Senegalese forward is encouraged by how much has changed at the club since his departure - The Sun

Well, he remains a Chelsea player. Apparently no indication from Bayern whether they will extend the loan. If they don't, he'll be back. Beyond that, it's anyone's guess.

People will hate that he plays for Brighton but Mitoma is a top left winger who would be a massive upgrade on our current left wingers.

Too old, our SDs tend to wait around schools waiting for signings to get the GCSE certificates

I think what he means there is we have been so crap that he will be welcomed back as a messiah now ;).

I’d take him back if the alternatives are Delap, Emegha or Guiu.

I don't think Jacko has the kind of character that will see him up for a relegation dog fight next season.

I think those three are likely to be in contention. Satpaev joins in August when hes 18 but i think hes going to Strasbourg. Panichelli is injured so who knows if he will be sent over from Strasbourg. Im sure we will be involved in talks re a number of high profile strikers as always, but we dont have much in the budget unless we want more issues from the spending police. Other than that its the reintegration of the enigmatic loon that is Nico Jackson. We are certainly missing his 12-14 goals a season - albeit on a good day.

i think we are a long way from sorting the striker position, given the output currently (JPedro excluded) we arent seeing many touches or involvements never mind goals. Id play without a striker and use an additional attacking midfielder until a credible candidate surfaces.
