Robbie Brady @ Norwich Will Hughes @ Derby Dwight Gayle @ Newcastle Scott Arfield @ Bournemouth Dwight Gayle is scoring for fun but would Newcastle let him go given how much money is up for grabs if they get promoted? I doubt it. They want Cleverley so maybe a deal could be done for summer but can't see it happening in January.

I know there are lots of well known players out there we could target, but if you were a scout, which players would you consider that maybe fly under the radar? I'd consider : Matt Phillips - WBA - Winger Ben Chillwall - Leicester - Left Back Robert Snodgrass -- Hull - Attacking Midfield (out of contract soon) All of a sudden Phillips has become a player, after being bang average up to now. Would like him as he knows the PL and what's required at a Club like Everton, but can't see WBA letting him go unless we offer silly money. Chillwall looks a prospect and is a yes from me. Snodgrass is a complete 'no', unless you're allowed to bring him on just for free kicks. His all round game is pretty woeful

Even Hughes is unproven and PL Clubs have looked at him, and Rhodes-esque have decided against having a punt. I saw him play for Derby U18s against ours, and he was skilful, but frequently muscled off the ball by our brawnier kids.

For me, this list is long and don't expect all but.... Dick Van Dyke Will Keane Cesc Fabregas Morgan Schneiderlin Dembele from Celtic Ben Chillwall Dries Mertens Kasper Schmeicel (only likely in the Summer)
I'd have a sniff around Real Madrid and Barca fringe, but quality/proven, players to see what loan prospects there are too.
I expect us to get this Lookman lad, but know very little about him frankly, and his YouTube clips are absolutely no guide (I hope, because he's nothing special on them)
I'd rather fish closer to home than unearth some unknowns in Continental European leagues, unless Walsh has some aces up his sleeve. Let's remember, he unearthed Kante, and collectively Leicester went for Mahrez, although I don't think Walsh was that keen on him personally. I'm going to give him a chance, but not convinced about the rest of his Leicester recruits. It's almost as if anyone connected to Leicester has got a meteoric rise on playing staff and management alike. The only person I really rate there is Ranieri himself! Morgan anyone? No. Hush? No. Even Drinkwater? No.
At which point, they'll beat us 0-3 with a string of reserves on Saturday!

Surely Gayle is another Beckford? Scores loads at a lower level, but never really cut it in the PL and I can't see him doing it at our level.
