    £15 for Chris Wood!

    £15m even!

    Another massive amount for a somewhat limited player. We were linked with him a few times under Clough I remember.

    Another Ricky Lambert or is he better?

    Or, put another way, if Leeds had offered Chris Wood plus £3.5m for Andre Gray do you think they would have taken it ? I seriously doubt it, football sure is a funny old game.

    Lambert currently without a club now at the age of 35 been out of the scene for a bit but his best moments was with Southampton who helped them towards promotion to the Premier League, had that good spell which helped him raise his rep which caught the eye of Liverpool which got him in the England squad for a limited time but came too late in his career and after that went downhill and never to be heard of again.

    Kinda my point .... but his England record was brilliant for a short time!

    Sadly it came at the wrong time of his career.

    Be wary of buying Southampton players. Good at their club but duds elsewhere excepting Messrs Bale and Walcott. Even the latter hasn't truly fulfilled his potential.
    Take my tip: Buy Forest youngsters

    Ooo I forget about Shearer, always thought him a Blackburn man.

    The other two, well the jury's still out. Talented yes, could include Mane too then.

    Shearer legend, Lallana a maestro in the Liverpool team on his day and Wanyama strong and powerful asset for Tottenham.
