    Crap i'd say for a supposed creative player and thats only 3 assists from his entire 60 PL games. One in every half a season.

    If Tadic was the assists King, Mo El is the assists pauper..

    There's some chat going around we're about to sign 17 year old Arda Guler from Fenerbahce. Nothing concrete at the moment but he's an AM - a number 10 rather than a wide player and got huge potential so would fit our profile.

    Would be a bit of a coup if we did. Already a regular for Fenerbache, capped at senior level for Turkey too. Big talent.

    Can't sign him in this window, as he doesn't turn 18 until February. Not sure how Goztepe could factor in, as I don't know where 'clever workaround' ends and 'illegal transfer dealing that will get you a UEFA ban' begins under the new regs.

    Are they also prevented from signing him due to age? If so then there is no work around is there ?

    Honestly have no idea. Goztepe could technically sign him, because the rules allow for transfers within countries (just as we signed some U18s this summer), but Turkey has strict financial regulations, at least in the Super League. Presumably they're even more stringent in the second division where Goztepe are, so it's unlikely that we'd be able to use them to pay a large transfer fee.

    Might be able to have a pre-agreement to buy him in the summer, but i) I haven't the foggiest if there are rules to limit that, either, and ii) unless we blew them away with an offer, I'm not sure why Fenerbahce wouldn't wait until summer when the market might be broader.

    Have we signed anyone yet?

    Been a bit quiet link wise given our predicament.

    I want someone to get his full name put on a shirt if he's any good. Need a massive shirt though to fit this moniker on.

    Huge window this, and with a load of teams desperately after a striker (and who are potentially more attractive than we are).

    I know going for Championship strikers hasn’t worked brilliantly, but I wonder if someone (us?) goes for Joao Pedro from Watford.

    Someone (us) should go for Joao Pedro. He's the one guy with the combination of availability, likely willingness to join, cost (though high) and actual skill at football that I can readily identify. Risk moving back up to this level as someone we'd be relying upon, but more likely to be worth it long-term than most.

    Seen mention of us being interested in Jesper Karlsson, 24 years old, from AZ Alkmaar.
    His goal and assist record, for the previous two seasons look good with 28 goals and 22 assists.
    It’s only paper talk so probably means nothing, especially as it also says we are looking at Ryan Kent, Rangers, 26 years old, and both appear to be wingers.
