I really hope we can start updating this soon...
- well? 😀

bit off topic, but I like how much less active this thread is compared to the /r/reddevils threads, I sometimes check them out of morbid curiosity and it's full of people bitching and moaning about everything, the transfer amounts for mount/hojlund, fake onana transfer numbers etc.
- Definitely makes moderating easier too!

We already need two young replacements for Varane and Lisandro.
I saw the post on the re*dit linking us to Tapsoba, Todibo and Antonio Silva, but I am going to scream if we don’t have a look at Giorgio Scalvini.
A.Silva and another CB with some real impact would do wonders.
Only leaving a new midfielder, second striker, potentially a youth player at either wingback, another DM and lastly the rats 🐀 fucking off.

Balogun is now being connected to Inter for 35 million Euros.
I feel like we should be all over that if Kane goes to Bayern, we might as well commit to young strikers.

If the reports are true and we're not going for Kane, who do we want in?
I like the look of Vlahovic, I think he could be Ten Hag's type of striker. He scores different styles of goals, big enough to be a target, good touch and might not blow the bank as he's struggled to settle at Juve.
I do think there's plenty of options on the market that would improve us in that position (Hojlund and Kolo Muani for example). Anything would be an upgrade on Martial/Weghorst as our striking options!
- Hojlund. Strong, fast and young.
  
  Yeah I’m on board for Hojlund.
- Kane would be my top choice but as it looks like that is not happening because of Levi. I would want any 2 out of these 4: Osimhen, Goncalo Ramos, Santiago Gimenez, and Hojlund. Realistically we need to sign 2 strikers. Martial needs to be sold.

Did Pool actually think Bellingham was going to them? Deluded if they did.
- If they'd had a good season it might've happened. His next move will be Newcastle or City - no-one else bar a Qatari United will be able to afford him.

Soo the stock price has a huge jump! Does this mean there is some substance to the rumours floating around?
- Don't think so. There's an article in The Athletic which outlines exactly what happened, the whole rumour got started by a random Twitter account that advertises illegal streaming. Don't think Dave from Cardiff has any insider knowledge
  
  Dave from Cardiff tier 1 when?!

So will this mean Madrid go all out for Mbappe, and leave Kane alone?
- If they're looking to replace Benzema they could go for both. Kane is good at playing a deeper role so he could be the one playing Mbappe in.
  Or at least if we were in for both of them that's what I think we should do!

After Mount (55m), and now possibly Onana (40m), how much are left for a striker? How much are they allowed to spend, fair play and all?
- need sales before we can get a striker, but as far as I understand, outgoings count for more for FFP than I comings so if we sell Heaton + Henderson for 25-35m we can spend more
