If Forest win tonight and looking at the remaining fixtures I can't see Leeds or Leicester getting enough points to avoid the drop. If Southampton, Leicester and Leeds go some decent players are going to become available at reasonable prices I would suggest.

I'd you could pick one from each club who would you take LotM? I wonder will we sign many players from the Premierleague, seems a lot of focus will go towards La Liga.Oh, and Guendouzi, he'll be in the door the second the season ends I think.

From Leicester Harvey Barnes if it’s only one although I wouldn’t be disappointed if it were Tielemans. JWP from Southampton and Jack Harrison from Leeds.
{Ed001's Note - not Dewsbury Hall from Leicester? Or Lavia from Southampton? Or Walker-Peters as you need a right-back?}

I quite like Walker Peters so I wouldn’t be too disappointed with that one, when I identified a list of players we could look at he was on it but as I could only take one I opted for JWP. Not sure Dewsbury Hall is as good as what we have if I’m honest.
{Ed001's Note - JWP? Why him? He is terrible at anything except set pieces. Awful footballer. As for Dewsbury-Hall, he is much better than Tielemans (and not a lazy sod like him) except for lacking composure in front of goal.}

JWP because he can provide an additional defensive screen in front of the of the back four, when Kamara has been out we have looked lightweight in that area of the pitch, although Luiz has played there with Kamara and done quite well I am not sure it’s his best position and I’d like to see him deployed a bit further forward. And yes his ability from set plays also came into my thinking.
Re Tielemans and D.H I don’t see either in the way you do I’m afraid.
{Ed001's Note - Ward-Prowse can't protect anything. I am not sure what you have seen but you clearly haven't watched Tielemans if you don't think he is lazy. That is why no one has paid a fee for him and he is leaving on a free. No one was willing to take the risk on paying money for a coaster. Anyway, surely the player if you want an attacking mid from Leicester is Maddison? Knob of a lad, has missed a few training sessions and been dropped for indiscipline, but still a good player if you can't get him focused. Certainly better than Tielemans. If you want a defensive mid, then it would have to be Lavia from Saints as he is the one that plays there, not Ward-Prowse.}

Admittedly since the new manager has taken over at Saints Ward Prowse has played further forward but he is regarded on most stats sites as a defensive midfielder and when he was called into the England squad it was ostensibly to provide cover for Rice or Phillips.
Re Tielemans just because nobody bid for him doesn’t make him a bad player if that were the case you could use the same argument for the likes of Zaha (another knob in my opinion) or Thuram. It will be interesting to see where he ends up but I will be willing to bet it will be a side playing European football next year.
Re Maddison I’d be stunned if he ended up in a Villa shirt, he’s a Coventry lad and the relationship between the two clubs has been poor for a number of years. Callum Wilson was very disparaging about the club when we were interested in him before he went to Newcastle, if rumours are to be believed Maddison will be off up north as well.
