I’d take a player swap at this point. Fill up our squad gaps with 3 or 4 players from a Barcelona or Real Madrid or even PSG. PSG: Donnarumma, Lee Kangin, Ramos, Barcola Barca: Christensen, Der Stegen, Lewa, etc not sure who they would Let go RM: Lunin, Guler, Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz Endrick on loan etc

Ramsey is a like for like replacement for Willock. So I’d want him plus BEK and sell Willock even on loan Hes had his time

Swap for Alikouche

Would defo take him as the Longstaff replacement

And Jonas

Wouldn't mind Kulusevski as the attacking mid we're interested in

Shows Forests DOF had a good idea - they were strongly linked with Glasner before Santo came in. Both have done well. Bodes well for us.

With our luck it’ll be a little known player called Mark Key from the Canadian second division

What happened to Kuol this pre season? Did he play any friendlies? Hes not making it here, is he?

If Isak is to go, wouldn’t mind the following to pad out the squad Ramsdale Guehi 40m Thiaw Paqueta 40m Gallagher 30m Elanga Wissa Jackson or Ramos or Samu 60m (I don’t mind any young prodigy that Howe can develop as long as high ceiling and world class potential) Overall we’d be much much stronger as a squad than having one extra superstar who doesn’t want to be here. The new or extra players are almost covered by the Isak money. Very doable. I’ve not included those that are already signed or almost signed as it appears we’ve got a budget for those outside of Isak.

It’s a shame if not as Guehi can play both sides as can Thiaw and Botman even. Guehi Botman Thiaw and then Schar and Burn are extremely strong and would sort us out for 3-4 years. Burn can be Halls number two at left back also. Lascelles maybe can go at this point.

Guehi is definitely up for sale. Do you think it’s possible we sign both him and Thiaw?

If we had signed that Korean CB Kim Jin Mae from Bayern our paring would be Chow Mae

use Šeško money on Wharton, get Wissa for Wilson replacement and keep Isak til next summer or get Paqueta and Rudoni for the same price as Wharton, Wissa and Jackson/Samu after selling Isak what would you prefer

This could be Barella…

Yes both of those would be good

Wouldn’t mind Willock departing in part exchange with Paqueta Wouldnt be averse also to loan for CM cover. sangare at Forest had a lot of hype but hasn’t settled. Someone like him would be good

For the optics if Isak was to stay or had to, it would be almost mandatory that he sacks his agent and publically hangs him out to dry. And if in the interview or press conference puts the blame on him it will allow him to carry on with a semblance of normality this season.

Would Chelsea let Andrew Santos go? Perfect profile for where we are and more likely to play for us than their million CMs

If there’s anyone I’d take as part exchange from Liverpool who they may consider as it’s not one of their main guys it would be Szobsolai 90m plus szob would work for me

If we got rid of Isak then I’d want the following this summer: Thiaw 30 Wissa 35 Paqueta 40 Xavi Simons 50 Samu 60 65m net spend, 110 including Elanga too would really kit out the squad and potentially help us to challenge

This was supposed to be our 1995/96 season not the 1997/98 one DCL may as well be the Ian Rush equivalent

Assuming we get 5 players GK CB RW CM CF 9/10 would have been Trafford Guehi Elanga Gallagher Pedro 10/10 would have been Joan Garcia Scalvini Elanga Paqueta Sesko/Ekitike Right now the calibre we’re on is 6/10 Ramsdale Thiaw Elanga Rudoni Wissa If we get an additional striker like Samu and keep Isak it can go up to a 7 or 7.5. Potentially an 8 if the player instead of Rudoni is Paqueta or Gallagher

Agreed we need a couple of belters to finish off the window

Thiaw Wissa Samu Paqueta in addition to Elanga, Ramsdale floor increased across GK, CB, CM, CF Ceiling increased at RW, possibly GK
