The Everton fan I know thought Niasse is decent. 5 in 19 for a relegated Hull is not a bad return. A slight improvement on that will put us in as good a position to escape relegation

I would suggest Niasse on loan, arriving soon, Hemed out, then third choice keeper and utility defender. So, the only key one is to get Niasse in, and hope Dwamena gets clearance.

Brown is more the other way round, i.e. he can play as an ACM, out wide in the three behind a striker, and can also fill in in a midfield three.

With you. Anywhere in that three behind a front man, ideally of excellent quality, partly funded by Hemed's departure. Would also like to see a rookie out-and-out striker (Zohore?), partly funded by Skalak's departure.

Things are being done behind the scenes, but the clearest available evidence has already been provided by TSB a few posts back. You'll only get the evidence once the signing is secured, so you'll have to wait.

And this is because we're aiming higher.

You (or U2) can think what you want. Bloom, Barber, Winstanley and Hughton will think that they've got a strategy that's set them well, and they're not going to veer from it.

I'll get in touch with Barber, to pass this message on to Bloom: B.W. has decreed that we've failed to prepare and, as a consequence, we need to accept that we will fail. That'll swing them into action.

Oh, that's easy: a draw. It means that, collectively, they get two points rather than three, setting them both on course for relegation, and leaving us needing to finish above just one more club to retain our PL place for the 2018/19 season.

This is a survey of PL clubs' activity and requirements. B&HA are sparsely covered: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jul/05/premier-league-transfers-club-by-club-deals-targets-departures Still, it serves as a good guide to availability. Two strikers that haven't featured on here that...

Many thanks as ever chaileyjem. You've managed to descend a cloud of doom with your striker probabilities (although I can think of a few on here will view your projections as overoptimistic); on the other side, it could be counter-balanced by the 10/10 you're giving for the 'A.N. Other'...
