A lot of rumours flying about new over new signings. Seems it's all just a guessing game. One name I have seen banded about is Seb Haller. Would love us to go for him although we'd have to break the bank. Another player we missed out on a couple of years back when we could have got him cheap. Anything on your end Eds?

{Ed001's Note - the striker I heard mentioned, no idea if it is likely or not though, is from RB Leipzig (I think) Jean-Kevin Augustin.}

Not sure what I think of him tbh Ed. From what i've seen of him he prefers to play down the channels instead of through the middle and seems to like to be on the ball a lot which is something a striker must sacrifice in order to get into the right positions and make clever runs. If we were to sign him i'd imagine it'd be as an inverted winger as he does possess good passing ability and have good pace but as far as being a striking option I just don't think he's suited to us. Not only this but Everton like to play with a lone striker, whenever Augustin has played for Leipzig he's tended to play in a 2 up front so there's question as to whether he can lead the line by himself.

Hi Eds, Lookman off to Southampton? Have you anything on that one.

{Ed001's Note - apparently there is interest from them yes. I don't know if Everton are willing to sell or loan him though.}
