Would anyone take Summerville back for say the price we sold him for or maybe another 5 mill on top?
I think he was sold for 25 plus add ons. 40 million would do it, I’d say?

No, no, and finally no.

I'll take that as a no then?

Thanks for understanding, Corkey.

Perhaps re Summerville.

And would anyone want Archie Gray back from Spuds if they were to go down.

I'd take back Summerville.

He's been ok at Spurs but is he a £40m player? I don't think so. If he was available for half that, then he might be a good addition, mainly because of his potential and versatility.

Re Summerville, I think it's the same scenario with Archie Gray. He's had a good end to the season, and if he was available for £15/20 million then he's worth a punt.

Good point, Dunelm.
Gray is a good player with potential, but he's no Steven Gerrard, a player who is similar in style.
Maybe, time will prove me wrong, but I can't see Archie scoring or assisting too many goals.

I'd only do an Archie signing with a part exchange the other way - £10m with Piroe AND Longstaff going the other way would be very sensible for Spurs, which means they'd never do it. Two players who fight and grind, and wouldn't be overawed by the Champ from their perspective (particularly Piroe) . We have enough depth as is in CM specifically, though (I get Archie can play other positions) .

Having watched West Ham this evening, if they were to go down, Crye, Bowen (naturally, but I think he wouldn't come) , and also Mavropanos and/or Diouf might be on my wishlist. Mavropanos in particular looks more settled in recent weeks.

I also think he has a very similar profile to Struijk, who has seemingly been attracting interest recently. If someone offered silly money for Struijk, Mavropanos would be an interesting signing to be the first backup to Rodon and Bijol.

It would be fun to watch Spurs go down, but in a weird sort of way we'd have more luck signing realistic targets from a relegated West Ham. We have no hope with the Van de Ven's, Porros, Maddison, Kulusevskis, Bentancur, Bergvalls, and only a fool's hope at getting Archie back. Bowen is more or less the only West Ham player I think we couldn't compete for, truly.

Neither of them worth £40M. At £20M I might be tempted.

No to both. Had their heads turned, Gray crying and kissing the badge says a lot.

I am not a big fan for bringing players back, although the odd exception can work out as it did with David Batty.
