    I believe we are waiting for our Belgian superagent to come up with his "August blue cross sale" list after he's moved on any genuine talent. I believe Gino has been queuing outside his office to make sure we get first crack at the real bargains.

    Plus he isn't injured, based in Belgium or unheard of....

    Per guardian, Palace looking to sign Ings. Liverpool want £20m.

    Not worth that much money. He’s done zero at Liverpool and got much to prove after those injuries. Half that price is about right.

    Big price. Worth the risk at that price? I'm not sure. Loan with a view would be interesting.

    I think he'd be a great signing and £20m for a striker sounds about right. Yes a history of recent injuries but seems to be over them and looked sharp for Liverpool before the season end.

    Liverpool seems to be under the impression that because they spent £70 million on an above average goalkeeper they can recoup it by selling 2 reserve strikers Ings and Origi.

    £20m? Jesus christ. He scored 11 goals in the Premier league 4 years ago, and he's been consistently injured ever since.

    Agreed he did look sharp. We lack that type of movement he offers up top.

    Yeah but he plays for Liverpool at the moment and we should sign him because other fans have heard of him. Like Welbeck or Sturridge.

    £20m for Ings. Suddenly Richarlison looks like good value.

    I do find some of the comments on here amusing. We've seen what a decent player costs in 2018. We sell Richie for £40m+ and want a goalscorer before the window closes. We don't want a young untried player from the overseas lower leagues. We don't want to pay what it costs to sign an Ings, Welbeck etc. I guess we are still looking for that proven prem striker with a blemish free injury record for £15m are we ? :)

    I think we should just get Rondom in. £15m should do it. Yes he is 28 and will have no resale value, but i don’t give a feck. If he helps keep us in the Prem for another few years then who cares

    Gray has scored another pre-season goal at Brentford today, I think thats 3 so far so do we need a goal scorer after all?

    Yes I think we probably do, don't you? :D

    Rondom in to provide protection for the big man up front?

    Vydra's move to Leeds is stalling over wages. Leeds getting Bamford instead .

    Matej would love to come back here, would you think he's worth the fee and #50k a week?

    Me? I'd sign him tomorrow.

    If Vydra was that good other Premiership clubs would've tried for him. Maybe he is just a championship goalscorer like he was for us.

    Gray scored 5 goals in open play in 16 starts last season.
    Equate that to a full season you looking at 10 or 11 minimum. Let him take the penalties as well and we are looking at potentially 15/16 goals next season. That'll do me.

    Would we really need to pay Vydz £50k a week?

    Berge's agent has flown to London to supposedly try and get him a move to the Premier League. We are one of the teams mentioned.

    I spoke to a couple Genk supporters last week and their opinions on Berge differed.
    Neither think he's ready for the Premier League. However, one did say in the future he may make the required level to move, especially if he can improve his passing in defensive areas and look to shoot more in attack.

    Personally anything ranging from £10m to £15m would be a gamble but quite a calculated one.
    Physically he has all the attributes to suit British football and playing/training at a higher level would hopefully iron out those passing issues.

    He's a deep lying midfielder who breaks with the ball, not a striker.

    I suspect that if we really do have a deal in place with Benfica to buy Talisca in Jan for £20m then the plan all along was loan or make do till then
