Not a single one of them. They’re all on the way down, we’re heading in the opposite direction...

That's a lot of players to fit into the squad, can't see us signing more than 3 or 4 and doubt they would be from relegated teams but you never know.
Think the pick of them is in Positions we are strong such as Sam Johnstone but we have Meslier.
None for me.

Double agreed. Although Lee Peltier rings a bell. Didn’t he play for us in the bad old days and he also a left full back (which we need). :lolno:

I'd broadly agree with this list, although I'm not sure about Loftus-Cheek, Brewster or Burke. They're players I've previously liked the look of, and still young, but not sure they're a big enough improvement on what we have. I don't buy the 'they got relegated, so they're not good enough' argument. Lots of top players go down in bad teams - it doesn't mean they don't work hard or aren't technically good enough.

Maitland-Niles would be a great Bielsa signing. He's effectively a younger Dallas in his versatility and would be a great complement to Klich.
Perreira would be a good no.10.
Berge is going to be hot property this summer. He was consistently excellent in that terrible team. Would love us to sign him but think we'll be priced out.
Gallagher would also be great in the 8/10 role we need to fill.
We should've snapped up Robinson in the first place.

Interesting that nobody has mentioned Anguissa here. I'd love to bring him in.
