Linked for £15mil.

Seems like hes been round for years, surely would of moved by now if he was that good? Can't say I've ever seen him play that much like

Always been in the England u21 side...was touted to move for big money then after a handfull of games was for the rest of last season.

He looks like a playmaker which i guess would be ideal to alternate with Barkley.

Always good to have young English players in the side/squad, the championship winning sides usually have them.

If he and Lookman came in we would have alot of them in the team/squad which is never a bad thing.

Yep i remember that but he was injured last season after 6 games...only came back this season i think. Maybe @BlueToff knows more...

He's young but his scoring record is atrocious if he's playing in the playmaker role. I'd have guessed he played much deeper based on numbers. Never actually watched him though.

I think Depay would be about the same as Schneiderlin at £18mil. He and Lookman would cost perhaps £28mil (with add ons incl) which would be the same deal or thereabouts as Bolasie.

Has to be better value.

Add in Schneiderlin and its £46mil for 3 players which is quite alot but means that LW is sorted as would be CM.

Interesting, it would be in our best interest to try and get Schneiderlin right away to fill the gueye hole. It would also be good to get those others and maybe some more earlier since we need the boost and not make panic moved at the end

 

[Markydys]

Only 5 days to go before we see some sort of action.

1st article mentions finishing as his weakness and if he adds it to his game he would be the complete midfielder...

Schneiderlin / Walsh
Gana / Davies
Barkley / Hughes

Could be the idea in the centre...

 

[loooweee]

Watched derby a few times but always a bad day or he was injured he has similar issues with barkley but different

 

[Zatara]

Interestingly, if you look at our England u19 - u21 young players + Ademola and Hughes we would have a player for every position other than Right Wing and Goalkeeper if we signed the 2 linked players.

On what evidence he will be good enough?

Well if hes signed for £15mil+ hes in the squad

Can't see Koeman in for him. Has he set the Championship alight? He is just pretty young, I do believe you are in favour of young players, even they are untested.

They have been linked. Apparently we have enquired about Berahino;
