Nico Williams for Spain and Ferdi Kadioglu and Baris Yilmaz for Turkey

I really do think that Kadioglu is a good player. Mad that he’s so comfortable at left back being right footed. He’s like if Grealish played at left back. 

I remember a spurious link a while back. I doubt any truth to it, but for the right money, he’s a decent pick up for somebody.

He joined Leverkusen because they are giving him a coaching route when he retires

Fullkrug is exactly the type of plan B off the bench we could do with. Someone in his 30s not desperate to play every single game but could help us mix it up on the hour mark.

However he's toiled away for years and now at Dortmund so probably wouldn't be worth the cost but to me it feels pointless to get another Duran type in to cover Ollie if we eventually sell him, much rather have experienced cover for the next 18 months.

Is Fullkrug first choice at Dortmund generally? Maybe Haller could be tempted to have another go at premier league?

Always felt he's very underappreciated. Tempo dictater, his passing is excellent.

All day long

His work tops most other midfielders

Great player, but didn't he and Unai have differences at Arsenal?

Dani Olmo looks class. Perfect for the '10' role.

In fact, a lot of the Spanish midfield look good!

Dani Olmo has been class for ages. The only surprise with him is he isn’t already playing for Barca or Madrid.

Suppose things will pick up after the euros finish. Suspect a few signings won't be made until after the season starts.

For that kind of role I would have a look at Chris Wood - people may scoff but his goals per 90 and minutes per goal were significantly better than Watkins last season, and that in a struggling Forest side.  Nowhere near as good on the assists mind.

Nah, he’s rubbish—that’s why we want him.
