Sarr to Villa... does that make Ings available? Would be a cracking signing and perfect for the system

Dream on. He's still very much PL class... and the chances of us signing an expensive 30-year-old are close to zero.

As much chance of us getting a bye to the Cup Final.

if only we had 30 million to spend on one player who would drop a league to the detriment of his career.

Sarcasm aside, hes exactly what we need

He is but isn't.

Twine and possibly Mikautadze (if rumours are true) can fill the role he'd play (obviously nowhere near his class) but we need another physical mobile number nine, we are too small as a team and that is a major worry in the Championship, especially when teams work out that is our Achilles' heel.

Get Vardy in as well.

Damn, he's just signed a new contract.

Even if we could afford him, which we definitely can’t - why would Danny Ings even consider signing for a side who are currently in the bottom half of the Championship? Total dreamland.

yep, mentioned it elsewhere - our lack of physicality will be our Achilles heal

I reckon we could tempt Ronaldo, he would sign for Kompany with the Man City link.

Blimey if we sign him in time, he can play!

In what way is it his home anyway?

He's from the south coast, isn't he?

He happened to play for us for a short while and did very well, but that's it.

Sarr deal fallen through apparently

Villa could be in trouble this season

Don't think they'll drop, but I can see Gerrard getting fired before the season's out

They haven't been great in their opening 3 games, and Bournemouth, Everton and Palace are fixtures they'd have expected more than 3 points from, big game at home to West Ham on Sunday for them, because their next 2 following the Hammers, are Arsenal and City.

Bar Bournemouth I wouldn't like to bet on the other 2 for relegation, although it wouldn't surprise me if a big club went down with them

I wouldn't totally rule out all 3 promoted clubs surviving this season, they've all got points on the board early, and don't presently look out of their depth, tough to judge Bournemouth yet given their last 2 have been City and Arsenal, but they beat Villa on the opening weekend, and that's the sort of results they'll need to stand a fighting chance in the PL.

Forest have spent big, and Fulham look a different animal to when they were last in the Prem.

Who the 3 to fall will be I've got no idea, but yes there's every chance one of the established clubs falls through the trapdoor this year.

Everton down
