Roll up, roll up, Nymo going to fix the window. Let's shift Richy for £60-70m, Kean for £25 then reinvest. The below players, bar like 2-3, would be cheap as chips to get and fill up lots of vacant places where I think from the faux lineup we need about 6 signings:
CB
Moussa Niakhate (Mainz) - Heavily linked with Forest but they won't stump up £13m release clause.
Boubakar Kouyate (Metz) - Highly rated and just relegated with Metz so would be a snip compared to his £15m value in January.
Calvin Bassey (Rangers) - Expensive but left-footed and a beast. Last rumour was £25m.
Josip Sutalo (Dinamo Zagreb) - Almost as highly rated as Gvardiol who went for £15m so somewhere around/under that.
Eiran Cashin (Derby) - Available on a free.
Backup LB
Lee Buchanan (Derby) - Available on a free.
Destiny Udogie (Udinese) - Possibly a bit too attacking but another beast.
(I am of the opinion Nkounkou should be given the role though)
CDM
Ladislav Krejci (Sparta Prague) - Just sold their star player for £12m so somewhere under that. Reminds me of Matic when he was good.
Amadou Onana (Lille) - He's 6'5" need I say more?
Lucas Gourna (Saint-Etienne) - Might get ripped off and very young but Kante comparisons already.
James Garner (Man U) - Bit different to the others, maybe in the CM role and maybe a loan but seems decent.
Fredrik Aursnes (Feyenoord) - Wildcard pick from only a few viewings in the Conference League but gets around the pitch and looks a nuisance.
CM
Alex Scott (Bristol City) - Might get ripped off because he's English but great all round midfielder.
Enzo Le Fee (Lorient) - Tenacious and a passing master, average French side so won't be expensive. Linked away.
Nico Seiwald (RB Salzburg) - Most expensive on the list but baller. Last rumour was €20m.
Lewis O'Brien (Huddersfield) - Linked last Summer to Leeds for under £10m and now failed to get promoted so price won't be any different.
Abdou Harroui (Sassuolo) - Bit of a random one but I've enjoyed watching him play - does a bit of everything.
Jason Knight (Derby) - 12 months left on contract, snip for a few mill.
Winger (Either Side)
Ludovic Blas (Nantes) - Forever linked away from Nantes, peach of a left foot, very tricky. £17m last rumour.
Bryan Gil (Spurs) - One of the few classic wingers in world football now, available for loan, could be an easy one with Richy deal.
Keane Lewis-Potter (Hull) - Surely ends up going for around £15m in the end; looks a top finisher and can play 3 positions.
Ruben Vargas (Augsburg) - Great on both sides, decent delivery. Maybe under £15m? German sides don't really sell high.
Liel Abada (Celtic) - One I've seen least of but always looks to be in the right place to score. Last rumour was £17m.
Backup ST (Physical Option)
Terem Moffi (Lorient) - Strong, fast, left footed, bit of a maverick, cheap.
Mohamed Bayo (Clermont Foot) - See above but a righty. Last rumour was €10-12m.
Elijah Adebayo (Luton) - Battering ram, decent in the Championship, failed to get promotion. Maybe not for sale according to manager's quotes.
Erik Shuranov (Nuremberg) - Least experienced but always looked good for Germany U21's. Would be a project.
