Did we not bid for Caicedo after getting MacAlister?

Ha, true

Anyway, I'm happy which is obviously the most important thing here

I’d say Kerkez, Hato (if Quansah is sold/loaned), Huijsen, Cherki and Ekitike.

Though I’d love Alvarez.

The RB question is rather

Far too many players with potential in that list. One of em needs to be a proven humdinger for me and by all means the others in a lower bracket

[Earl Hafler]

Kerkez looks the business but I think Hato and Robbo would be good enough for left back and Hato has the potential to be the next Virgil

Cherki has to be on one of our lists. 

I’ve no beef with that.

I don't think Hato is good enough to be immediately playing regularly for us, and he would have to if Robbo is around, because he clearly can't play 3 games a week.

Was that a thing ? Don't renember it.

I think it’s more like a song in the pubs than an actual terrace chant. But yeah, it was real.

If FSG are serious then kerkez and a really good CB are a must

Exactly

The only times I can think of in the PL era was Carra and Gomez* - both of whom played a decent amount of time at full back before moving central. 

I reckon Quansah has the potential to be a very good CB but it's difficult to see how he gets enough game time to make that step with us. I think he needs 1 or 2 seasons out on loan at a good standard - or to be sold with a buy-back clause to achieve that 

*I know we signed him from Charlton but was at the same age as he'd have come up from the academy

Can hardly play one game a week these days. Had a good run though.
