Oh come on, you can't say VVD's name?! 😂

You don't lose the caps you earn. Once an international, always an international. David Nugent is an England international because he has one cap (and one goal, if I remember right). It's like saying Virgil Van **** is not an international player because he's currently injured.

I think My Football Writer claimed they moved onto other targets after he wanted a mahosive wage (I read £60k a week)

He's got 29 caps, making him a Belgian international.

You mean the Bournemouth who had the backing of a multi billionaire and prepared to pay massive fees and wages? Again, not a realistic comparison.

Love that hoodie! Will await a sale and keep fingers crossed it will be included.

He isn't available for £13m though. Google his name and the figures bandied around are closer to £20m. And he's still a Belgian international who is probably on more than doubt Norwich's top earner. It's - just - not - realistic.

Liverpool want £15m to £20m for Origi. They aren't going to loan him as he's in the last year of his contract. They'll give every opportunity for him to find a permanent home. I don't disagree with the sentiment of having another striker, but the names being bandied around here are absolutely unrealistic.

Mason Greenwood who the Times reports is on £75k a week?

As I've said a number of times, it's just unrealistic. Look at Man City. Look at Tottenham. Teams that have an established star striker struggle to find a capable understudy.

The problem is finding someone who can make an impact, do better than Idah but is prepared to be behind Teemu and not cost us the earth. The one player that springs to mind for me is Andre Ayew. Available on a free having been released from Swansea. Scored 16 goals last season in the Championship. Premier League experience. Can also play on the wing. Otherwise - I struggle.

Again, quality strikers who are prepared to come on loan knowing they are coming to play second fiddle to Teemu Pukki don't really exist. I think you might be thinking of someone else. Abraham didn't go on loan to Brighton last season.

Yes thank you, I did get that, hence the second paragraph where I talk about that type of player costing too much, not wanting to play second fiddle and being able to make an impact being very unlikely to be able to be signed.

Tammy Abraham that despite not getting close to Chelsea's side is still going to cost £40m? We've been through this again and again and again. Getting a good striker that can score goals, happy to sit on the bench at a price that suits our budget is just unrealistic.

I remember links emerging saying Ole was interested in bringing him to Utd. I would be shocked if he ended up at a club like ours. Would be a great signing, though.

So everyone wearing one would make everyone safe, no?

Yeah but considering the Nations League alongside the Euros and WC is like considering the Johnstones Paint Trophy alongside the FA Cup.

I thought the group stage was underwhelming really - but got to say it's been simply fantastic since. Southgate's tactics and selections have been spot on.

Lol, what are you on about? Weird.

Good grief. There's absolutely nothing in this one.

That's called business. You don't keep an expense you don't need. It's definitely not indicative of "something brewing". You're making 2+2=697. It's how daft rumours like Origi started by 12 year olds get traction.

I have socks older than the people who have started this rumour. Total load of rubbish.

Delia's looking anxious and she's quivering with delight... ... Someone should really tell you your rhyming's pretty s***e?

You dug through to find a 4 year old post for that?!
