Rumoured to be attracting the interest of Crystal Palace and West Ham.No-one. If Kane doesn't sign on the dotted line we'll have to wait until next summer.
If I was going to sign someone at short notice it would be Odsonne Edouard

He's available for cheap (circa £15M), he's a good age (23), local (no worries with any COVID restrictions), CL experience, wants to move, would jump at the chance to come here.Rumoured to be attracting the interest of Crystal Palace and West Ham.
He's be a brilliant signing for those clubs, especially Palace.

CRonaldo. The thought of that at any other time other than now seemed disgusting to me. Now I think it’s ideal. Cheap, bags of experience, still a cracking player.
Sit him down in Pep’s office on Day 1 and tell him it’s about the team and not him, and we’d have a really good player for a couple of years before getting our next proper target.
Maybe I need my head checking, I don’t know. But seems logical to me at this point.

Cheap?? He'd want £900K+ p/w.

I'd prefer getting Aguero back.
Actually, I think I'd even prefer getting Bony back...

I imagine there’s going to be a tremendous amount of brinksmanship this week. Some clubs are going to resist signing until the very last minute so they can drive the price down.He's available for cheap (circa £15M), he's a good age (23), local (no worries with any COVID restrictions), CL experience, wants to move, would jump at the chance to come here.

And from our perspective, any player we enquire about should the Kane deal obviously fold is going to have a nought or two added to their price as the window approaches.I imagine there’s going to be a tremendous amount of brinksmanship this week.

Watkins is a good player but not a proper striker. He’s also not more clinical than the options we currently have. What we need is a proper goalscorer. For all the shit he got on here, Ings would have been the second best option after Kane in terms of realistic options from the PLI think we should have bought Dzeko back in January when we had the chance, but Watkins at Villa is a player we should be looking at. He’s a player with a lot of improvement in him and I think he could a job for us, even if he isn’t at the very top level.

He’d pay for his wages with shirt sales alone. Whether people like him or not, he’s one of the two biggest names in sport.Cheap?? He'd want £900K+ p/w.
Also don’t think he’d necessarily want as much as he’s on at Juve. He seemingly wants to leave and play for a competitive team. We’d have a strong hand in any negotiations
