None for me, as Pullhard posted, they are not the right profile.

We can sign better!

We made a profit on Geo, Summerville got us 25M ish .... very very good coming from a Championship side.

Archie for me - shame it doesn't look like Spurs going down.

Not fussed about Summerville, one trick pony. It is a good trick but I think the potential with Okafor is much higher.

Solomon, I think we have moved on and not sure he is good enough for the prem. Had a cracking season and if he was available quite cheap would add good depth but not sure we will be playing with wingers as such.

Rutter would be interesting. If he could turn the potential into end product then what a player he will be - but one year with us and 2 years now with Brighton and it is still about unlocking the potential - not sure he ever will. Think for around the money Brighton paid for him it might be worth a gamble but wouldn't want to pay more.

I'd have Summerville back in a heartbeat. He's looked really sharp this season.

The Rutter type player is exactly what this team needs ,this is why Farke is talking about backing his ambition .
The attacking flair player are very expensive ,i would like to see Stach and Ampudu in the double pivot with 150 million of new talent up top :love:

No mention of Kalvin? The Blades have sent him back to Man City. Not for me though.

The only one I'd want back is Archie Gray, and that's because he is Leeds. Think he'll return one day. Maybe Milner too.

To coach maybe ...but never to play again. He's 40, he must retire this summer surely

I'd still have Archie back in a heartbeat - for more than just his talent.
But we cant afford him.
