And a few women......I would like to see two LGBT players, more Asians and Blacks and at least three disabled players.

The Pulisic deal does seem a little odd when you consider that they have Hudson-Odoi, but then, Chelsea's transfer policy has always seemed a little odd.
Don't forget that America is one of the most sought after, emerging markets for football and Pulisic looks set to be the greatest American player of all time: don't underestimate the commercial benefits of the deal .
Who's McCormack? Livermore and Gibbs half decent that's it.Plenty of proven British players around in the Championship that would improve what we currently have.
Huddlestone, Livermore, Shawcross, Gibbs, McCormack, Whelan, Elmo Hamady.
Ross McCormack?Who's McCormack? Livermore and Gibbs half decent that's it.
He's in Aussie and hasn't done owt in 4 yearsRoss McCormack?

Pretty sure Fulham turned down a 20m bid for Cairney from West Ham before they went up.
Also, 50-60m - not a chance.
If Fulham get relegated, £20 million from a Prem club and Cairney is gone.
Hull are in no position to turn down £20 million for unproven 22 year old Bowen........sound familiar?
Another £10 million gamble would be perhaps Daniel James from Swansea, who apparently has a £10 million release clause in his contract
£50 - £60 million and three improvements made, that see's us become reasonably competitive.
Patrick Roberts is also a good player for maybe £15 million with huge potential, plus the chance of selling for massive money
Young players with good potential all of them
Only issue there is that Roberts and James are both wingers - we don’t play with wingers in our current system.

How's Cairney performing at Prem level also Sessegnon? I'm just not hearing anything about them anymore.
Bowen I think is a great player but not sure he'd be able to cut it in the prem, I don't think I'd chance more than about 8 million on him.
If James could fit our system 10 million should be a goer.
However there is one stunningly obvious purchase we should make if we go up and if he passes the 'tests' (come on Madine some how got through) Newcastle's Mitrovic, the one that plays for Fulham. Proven Premier league goal scorer, go to be worth 25m (at least) god knows what his wages are but we could probably sell it as a 'stepping stone' once he's banged in 20 goals for us, he'll be hot enough for a top 6 club.
There was talk of him moving to Man Utd for £50m in January. Way out of our league.However there is one stunningly obvious purchase we should make if we go up and if he passes the 'tests' (come on Madine some how got through) Newcastle's Mitrovic, the one that plays for Fulham.

Not as good as the HM rumour then?There was talk of him moving to Man Utd for £50m in January. Way out of our league.
Because he’s a Fulham player?Not as good as the HM rumour then?
Always worth a check, still can't understand why Newcastle won't play him.
have they actually signed him, I did check and as far as I can see he's still with Newcastle out on loan.Because he’s a Fulham player?
I’ve just googled it and there is no doubt he signed permanently for Fulham. It’s on his wiki page, the Fulham OS etc.have they actually signed him, I did check and as far as I can see he's still with Newcastle out on loan.
Hmm I would've only offered Newcastle their 15 million back anyway!I’ve just googled it and there is no doubt he signed permanently for Fulham. It’s on his wiki page, the Fulham OS etc.
I’d take Leroy Fer off their hands aswell, who I’m sure is available on a free at the end of the season? He might be a bit high in the wages department but he’s always solid in the middle of the park and would help to keep Basham in his best position of RCB.Oli mcburnie from Swansea. Whenever I've seen him he's been class.

Aside from having covered this point a week ago, if Sheffield United fall into the trap of, 'we won't ask because we can't afford' they are coming straight back down. It will be the usual valiant effort and almost certainly another late, late, disaster but it'll be the same story. Put it out there he may be affordable, he may start the season with Fulham in the Championship and he'd be worth paying double the next highest earner if he can come up with the goals to keep us up should we make it to the Prem.Mitrovic isn't a "stunningly obvious choice", he's a completely unrealistic suggestion.
Firstly, he'd have better options. Secondly, his transfer fee would likely exceed our entire budget. Finally, his wage demands would be likely more than double our next best earner.

Do not confuse this with a post demanding we spend 'more money', it's a post asking for the budget to include a top class striker which will finesse an already good squad.
Just Google Alexandar Mitrovic and it becomes very clear he won’t be joining a newly promoted club or staying at Fulham.It depends on which players. Shall we ask Barcelona how much they'd take for Messi?
Obviously there's a big gap between Messi and Mitrovic, but I'm just making the point that both will be financially out of reach.
Not saying we can't sign any players, I'm just saying we should probabaly focus on realistic ones
What do you mean usual? We've only been in the PL once in the last 25 years.
Firstly, I disagree that we should pay any player double the next highest earner, as I think that's the sort of thing that could decimate morale. Each to their own though.
Secondly, asking for our budget to include a top class striker is unrealistic for a newly promoted club. Just look at the lower half of the PL table; Palace, Burnley, Brighton, Cardiff, Huddersfield and arguably Newcastle and Southampton could all use a "top class striker" yet none of them have one. What makes you think we're going to be able to sign better players than established PL clubs in a our 1st season back in the PL?

Troy Deeney he's been doing it in the Prem for a good few seasons now,gettin on abit at 30,Che Adams is the younger version.
