If we want a keeper I’d rather look at Mads Hermansen. West Ham paid £20m for him from Leicester and he can’t get a game. Played first 4 games then dropped, better keeper than the chance they’ve given him and West Ham trying to bring in another keeper. 

Not sure if we could afford as likely to be in about £40k-£60k per week.

West Ham will probably need to thin their wage bill after the 2 new signings, with maybe more to come. Perhaps they maybe open to funding half of his wage?

Boro being linked with Sarmiento...I wasnt overly impressed when he was here before but he would be a massive improvement on SIJ (which isnt hard I know)

Leo Castledine being linked with a £1M move to Watford from Chelsea.

He’s been fantastic in League One this season, a really creative player with an eye for goal, very similar to Harvey Barnes when he arrived.

Not sure what wiggle room we have, but if the price is true it could be a fucking bargain.

I heard Chelsea weren’t looking to sell him or recall him and were happy with his progress

Apparently his contract is up in the summer so they’re open to selling.

Please God no! He was exactly the same with us, Ipswich and Burnley. The kind of player you could make a great YouTube video of with a few step-overs and tricks, one or two goals a season but naff all else.

Bang on. I fully expect him to be bewitching defenders (albeit briefly),  in League 1 for years to come.

Meanwhile, Coventry have signed 2 attacking players on loan that already have shown they can cut it in this division.

 Cov made a decent profit in the summer (again) as well as got a big sell on from Gyokeres moving on, and are top of the league without FFP issues - amazing how much easier that makes transfer business.
