Fair play - I must have missed it

For what it's worth, Cairney is the obvious choice for me from the Championship, although I except he'd cost around £25m even if Fulham don't get up - I think Newcastle had an offer north of £20m turned down in January.

Not convinced either Vydra or Hernandez would really improve us, and for the fees/wages involved to sign them, I don't see it as worthwhile.

Luongo has had a very good year with QPR and may be a shrewd replacement for Cabaye - think he may get some attention at the World Cup though. I would also consider Grosiki as a pretty cheap upgrade on Lee; wouldn't displace Andros or Wilf in the XI but certainly provides more competition than Lee, and far more impactful off the bench.

Hodgson at the Fulham v Derby playoff match tonight presumably watching Ryan Fredericks.

So will Gestede, who came on about 70 minutes and promptly disappeared without trace, and Traore, whose name seems to be Portuguese for "no f***ing end product whatsoever".

Not really seeing the appeal of Mitrovic when we have 3 big target men already, we need a smaller pacy goal poacher type.

Not fussed on Fredericks either, we should be looking to start AWB next year, so let's get in an experience cheap RB to back him up.

Tom Cairney and Massimo Luongo seem pretty decent in areas we need to strengthen. Otherwise I reckon our money would go further in Europe.

He's 24. He did all right for a 24 yo striker, often forced to play as winger this year. 11 goals in the Championship and 2 in the Cup. Not good enough for the PL, but better than many 24 year olds. Still improving.

People tought he was s**t ever since he was at Palace. But he was 22 yo and played just like 200 minutes in total. We should go easier on players who are still young

OK. Fair enough. Disregard him
