The lad looks good, although don't they all in highlights? But if we got him then we've ticked all the essentials for the summer, especially as I saw something about a 3 year deal for Bertrand being discussed.
We'll definitely look stronger than we did 12 months ago and can also expect bigger contributions from Adams this season now he's settled.

If we have to raise the money for McKinnie, who is going to pay for the likes of Carrillo, Hoedt, or Lemina ? All 3 are on the transfer list.
I would hate to have to sell the likes of Adams, Oberfemi, or even Vestergardde for an unproven McKennie. Will he be worth those 3 players who are contributing at last.

I see the Scum are linking us with Danny Welbeck. Not a Ralph signing at all, 29 years old and so I don't believe it. Also, with Long having signed a new long term contract I don't see where he'd fit in. That said, I rate him and he'll do a good job for someone, I can't see it being us and if it was I'd be worried about Obafemi's future with us, I'd rather we kept him and progressed him from the bench than played Welbeck from there

If we sign Danny Welbeck we will need to sign an extra physio.

I know he has had his issues with RH but I would much prefer he stays. He's not long from being a teenager ffs so is always going to be raw and has shown enough already to say he's worth a place in the squad. It all comes down to money I guess and he don't know how bad our financial situation really is. It may be that we will listen to offers for any of our players (hopefully not inc Ings).

Yeah there's no point replacing Obafemi with Welbeck. I like Welbeck but his injury record and wages mean he'd contribute less than a player with potential like Obafemi.

We should point WBA and Villa at Welbeck and tell them to keep their hands off Obafemi

Lemima and Reed to Fulham noise is gathering pace.
Cautiously ok with this but we will need a defensive midfielder in if it happens.

Just wish the Lemina move was a purchase rather than loan and really hope we aren't going to be contributing to wages of a player in the same league as us. Get him out
