Stick or twist? Premier League fans’ January transfer window wish lists

Mauro Icardi to Manchester United? And where next for Ivan Toney? Supporters set out their hopes for the month
Stick or twist? Premier League fans’ January transfer window wish lists

Several clubs including Arsenal have ther eyes on Brentford striker Ivan Toney.

FFP is a factor here. If we can’t count on the fitness of Thomas Partey, perhaps the Saudis can tempt him. I’m hoping we’re not forced to flog the homegrown likes of Emile Smith Rowe, but frankly, with everyone chasing a proven goalscorer, selling Fábio Vieira etc won’t make much of a dent in the fee demanded for Ivan Toney or Dominic Solanke. Elsewhere, Douglas Luiz won’t be the only Villa player coveted by plenty of clubs, but I just can’t see how we stump up £100m for him. Based on his impressive pre-season form, I’d settle for Jurriën Timber’s early recovery from the ACL injury he suffered in the opening game; he’ll feel like a new signing and might well energise our squad in the finishing straight.
