    I'd prefer to sign 2 wingers and play Maeda up front.

    Maeda with Idah as back-up will have 40 goals in them or more. Especially if we have more creative wingers, I don't even want fast wingers, I want creative, goalscoring types who cut in.

    Like Roberts, Elyounoussi, Commons style guys who are good finishers and creative, Nygren looks that type as Johnston and Tierney both like to run down in behind and cross and cut back.

    Then when we want the option of pace we can put Maeda wide in those games and play Yamada and whatever.

    I want wide players who will score and create for fun in the League. Because I think guys like Maeda, Idah, Yamada will already do quite well in Europe where you get to break on teams a bit more even Engels.

    Cluj president Nelu Varga has been mocked for his valuation of Louis Munteanu.

    Celtic reportedly had a £6.9million bid booted out for the Romanina striker earlier in the window, with Varga claiming he could get €20m.

    He also claimed a switch to Rennes was all but done, but there's been no movement since and Munteanu refused to play in last week's Europa League defeat to Braga, according to reports in Romania.

    Cluj's line was that the player was injured before Romanina media reported that his absence was down to a dispute over a missing payment.

    Now Giovanni Becali - agent brother of madcap FCSB owner Gigi - has told Varga to forget about banking €20m for Munteanu and warned he'll have to settle for a lot less in the january window.

    Neluțu Varga has already taken part of those 18 million from Louis Munteanu. He took the down payment and will take another installment in the winter. They said 'let's let him play with you because he can make a living'."

    Neluțu is my best friend, but he has a few of these… You can give 5-6 million for Baiaram. Tell me when Louis Munteanu will ever show his activity again, that he still has 12-14 years to play, 20 goals in some league.

    In our championship, you score and no one has scored 20 goals in a long time.

    Would much rather have this guy than Strelec.

    But if we're being honest, as much as we all gripe about our own clubs preposterous negotiating manner, some of these owners are mad as a * box of frogs.

    Player is never worth 20m. At a massive stretch 10m could be gotten from a team in Netherlands.

    Hopefully given his contract dispute we can force it through for around 8
