Brighton will eventually come down in price on this one, it’s just a case of whether someone else jumps in ahead of us if I’ve want to wrap it up early we have to pay a bit more. I can see pros and cons to pushing ahead quickly to guarantee the transfer and also to waiting a bit more at the risk of losing him. Personally, I’d wait, get him at the price we want to pay, and if a Chelsea come in, so be it.

With Harvey Barnes ready to come on against tired legs.

That’s what no football does to him

I'm really on the fence about this one, too many unknowns to process and it's a lot of money for a role which doesn't currently exist for us. That being said Big Joe seems to have fitness issues and I really like the idea of playing with another talented attacker.

Eddie won't pick a side based on last seasons performance or "ooh play the new kid" he'll do it based on the needs of the game who's doing the business in training. He'll pick what he considers is the team likely best suited to win the game.

Always thought he looks better the number ten area, than he does as an out and out striker. Think he'd be great in a 4-4-1-1 or a 4-2-3-1.

Out of all our potential signings, this guy is the one im most excited about. Hes got everything to become an absolute monster under Eddie. I cant wait to see him become a staple in the Brazil side because of us.

Pedro offering this plus Trafford offering the ability for us to play out from the back has me excited that we're going to see some new dynanism in the team next season. Exactly what we need

Isak, Gordon, Pedro and Elanga on the counter would be terrifying for any defence in the world.

Liking the thirst traps they’ve been posting on Instagram. Expect things to ramp up in the coming days with a follow, however sliding into their DMs is not ‘imminent’ according to my sources.

Aye, although they want to sell so that should strengthen our hand.

Three sources have reported now that they're circa £10 million apart in valuation. You'd imagine it gets done, granted I think Bloom will get what he's after, he usually does.

Disagree. It's a new season, we're likely to have a fully-fit Botman, a £50-60m right-winger, they start.

Aye, he won’t be coming to sit on the bench. Just feel he gives us so many different options in how we can lineup or change things. He’s not an out and out striker but it’s also nice he can do a good job there if and when Isak isn’t playing. Think his signing would also make the Elanga one a better one. (Not that I think we get both).

So Ryder drops the exclusive ITK news we all want to hear and the thread title gets changed implying nowt doing! This happens, this man gets the respect he deserves!

I'm curious how we adapt the system if we buy him. At the numbers quoted he has to be starting so I'll be curious to see what Eddie does. If this is all true that is

I actually think Ryder is one of the few that does have connections within the club. He's just such an absolute dullard.

Gives us a new dimension in attack, really hope we get him.

Will be an extremely exciting signing if it comes off as it’ll significantly change how we attack teams

This is it, he'll get another contract in 2 years aswell if they still can't get Salah as the next ageing superstar when the time comes

I mean, Burn & Murphy 100% deserve to start, Burn in particular was our best CB last season and was comfortably our player of the season, so for him to not start would be a banana's decision imo.

nah Ryder has been sitting on this one all night waiting to release it, doubt he slept tbh.

I think we are a good team without doubt, I just don't view us as title contenders and I doubt we can become that this window no matter what we do. I think if you have a look at the squads of actual title contenders it becomes clear as to why. I do believe we have a manager who is capable of winning the title however.

Very rare you see the Chronicle with "sources have told us" in their articles. They've been "according to reports" for years.

Fully fit we can be brilliant. Shown this time and again. Beat full strength first and second to win the cup. 2 maybe 3 into the first team is fine. It’s the depth we lack. Particularly in the front 6. If we get the players we want/need - the first team is mostly of a great age.
