    Maxime Lestienne - Club Brugge
    Reminds me alot of Dries Mertens. Would love to have him here. Excellent player, better move now because he will be gone soon enough. Honestly just watch this video, plays like Hazard and Mertens. Dunno what his value would be but if Lennon was allowed to spend £5m on one player I'd spend it on this boy.

    Looking at Doyle, there is a similar player thats much better imo in Johan Elmander. He have been injured and now Galatasaray have both Yilmaz and Drogba. Great warrior of a player and he is a decent finisher aswell. What you guys think?

    Scored plenty of goals in the lower divisions. Need to see if he can do it in the SPL now.

    Lestienne - 20 years old, 18 goals 13 assists, valued between 2.6-3million.
    On a contract until 2017 which would suggest he's a player they don't want to lose for anything less than big, big money.

    I'd put a bid in, he's an exciting player and £5million would be a bit much for us, but definitely a good investment.

    Coming from Belgium I don't know what their idea of big big money would be. Saying that Fellaini left Standard Liege for £15m. Really not sure though, however Lestienne is a player I really like. If we paid £5m I am confident we would double if not triple our money on him. I will repeat myself again but he really does play so much like Hazard and Mertens. Great delivery, great shooting, finishing, pace, dribbling, skill, vision everything needed for his postion basically and only 20:97: So much talent in Belgium right now.

    I know but I have a feeling this boy is the real deal. Played at every level of international football for Belgium too, called up to first team recently.

    Would be brilliant if Lestienne came here, he will likely go to a team in a bigger league unfortunately.

    Lenny and Lawell did say if a player became available for more than we normally spend, and he was a good investment, we'd try to do the deal.

    That says to me that we will go big on one player. Lestienne would be expensive, but if he is going to be worth more than what we pay, a lot more, then we'll go for it.

    what about franco di santo?? very neat and tidy player with a good touch, would compliment well with balde, only problem for wigan is he never scored enough goals, would be worth taking in anyways as he's a free transfer

    He's been mentioned here before, but now that we've lost out on Tonev I would go for Hélder Barbosa.

    I think someone here said that he is (or is soon to be) a free agent. He's a left winger which we could probably do with and on a free wouldn't be too much of a risk.

    He's been capped by the Portuguese national side and Baldé is hoping to get into the World Cup squad. If it works it could be a good pairing and could possibly help attract other players from the Portuguese Leauge.
