Slimani is sought by Watford and Newcastle: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-watford-weighing-up-late-11055860 He'd cost at least £20m, unless they can secure a loan. In contrast, Llorente is wanted by Chelsea...

Still stalking Howe?

True. I don't give a monkeys who Man City or ManUre add. It will only be the usual PL suspects plus Huddersfield who we will compete with for survival.

Yawnmouth fan still interested in NSC. Don't blame you, a more interesting forum.

To be honest, your feeling about me judging the Albion negatively this early on (even in a surreptitious way), is wrong. Yes, my OP and later comments, expressed fair comment on the buying (and alleged buying) by clubs I think will rival us next season. Fuelled a bit by surprise, as to how...

I'm not. Will reassess the squad mid August and 1st September.

Suck it and see with the squad as its stands on 28th June, would IMO be a definite relegation. A lack of top flight quality finishers, goal scoring CM'ers, wingers able to beat PL defenders other than AK, one CB if the narrative on NSC is right than Goldson will go out on loan, and fullbacks...

Loved Muzza here the first time, gutted when he left (a cock up by someone, but you get conflicting views as to whether it was Poyet's or Bloom's fault), but elated that he came back. Better late than ever, we wouldn't be in the PL without his stack of vital goals.

Well I hope Bloom, Barber, Hughton and Winstanley aren't accepting of that. After the years of toil, heartache and shed loads of TB's money in finally getting to the PL; that would be a massive let down. We need to invest heavily to stay up. Even the normally modest Dutchman Ronald De Boer...

Swansea splashing £10m of their PL cash on the Las Palmas midfielder Mesa: http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40418098 We have the same club income now as Swansea, so is this indicative of the moves we will make to stay up?

An international collection of wide-boys. I forgot the master, Allerdyce!!

Burnley do spend their money. Some managers do this every Summer and in January to pressurise their Boards to spend. Rafa, Pulis, Poyet, Bruce, Pardew all play this game.

Squeaky bum time, but it's two months too early! It's the impatience of football fans when it appears that other clubs are stealing a march.

We absolutely have NOT got the ammunition. For example, Hemed, Murray and Baldock won't score enough against top flight and international defenders to keep us us, our fullbacks won't be able to live with the pace of an array of highly skilled widemen, and March/Skalak won't skin most PL...

£100m for season one. The other £70m is the parachute money over several subsequent seasons, should we go straight back down.

Thanks for the clarification. Other answers talked of the earlier June transfer window opening date.

The Porto's players stats and history seem very modest to say the least, but Wagner was ecstatic about the signing. What does he know that everyone else is missing? Huddersfield's (alleged) transfer business seems very public this summer, long before players have signed on the dotted line...

From memory, don't loads of signings get announced from 1st July onwards, when the window officially opens? Until then a game is played, with allegedly no discussions between buying clubs and their targets.

Thanks. We could add Stephens re-signing to stay - I rate him highly, but I was very concerned that he was off until the good news came through.
