    If he is fit and good to go again, then it's a no brainer. He's a terrific player.
    He would solve the LW position, and give us a different kind of option from Maeda, and also
    decent cover on that wing.

    I think he looks a really intelligent footballer, good awareness of what is around him, often plays the right ball or makes the right call between playing a pass, dribbling, making a run off the ball, presses well. The only thing I would say is he looks like he would be better linking with a traditional full back.

    We could always do better, but we are operating within a certain financial frame, with Engels being the exception rather than the rule.

    We could get Balikwishi for around £5M, he's a very good fit, Toure would be my other option, but how much would he cost ?.

    Don't know how much that boy would cost but I think we could get way better for that kinda money. There's beeb posts in the suggestions thread from last night alone of a couple of wingers that would be nowhere near 5 and look better on the eye..

    If we push the boat out a bit more we could probably nab a real game changer type..

    Wasn't bowled over by him when we were linked in the summer. Would much rather Kvistgaarden, particularly with this guy coming off the back of a serious injury and not kicking a ball this season.

    Wouldn't go as far to say I'd be underwhelmed if he signed, but I think there's a few wingers I'd much rather have before this boy. Would be going all out for Kvistgaarden.

    Mind you, we'll be linked with quite a few wingers over the next month.

    Dont know about that one. 28mins since July. Only a LTB would make sense. Make sure he doesnt get injured again before we spend big money for him.

    Wouldn't be signing him outright. As above, loan to buy. There's good justification for it too with his injuries.

    Not sure about better because im not sure how good he is but definitely id prefer a different profile.

    I dont see any use in bringing in another winger who is essentially a wide forward and can’t take folk out the game.

    Apparently injured again! Not sure what is wrong. But better keep our hands away from him.

    Shame he’s injured again, thought he would’ve been class for us but we should avoid if he struggles this badly with injuries. Pretty sure someone else pointed out he was out a lot last season too.
