Saw this on the BBC website:

If you could only buy one, sell one, and loan out one player, who would you pick?

Here are some of the thoughts:

Marc: Buy: Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City. Sell: Pascal Gross. Loan: Facundo Buonanotte.

Dan: Buy: Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - we have been linked to him for a couple of years and it will be a massive loss if we don't get him. Sell: Jason Steele - then we need to bring in new back-up or promote Tom McGill.

Leon: Buy: Gustavo Hamer from Sheffield United. Sell: Jakub Moder. Loan: Evan Ferguson.

Xavier: Buy: A new striker - Joao Pedro is good but he lacks that clinical edge. Sell: Kaoru Mitoma - this is controversial but, in my opinion, he is overrated. Loan: Odeluga Offiah or Mark O'Mahony - they are both promising youngsters.

Ben: Buy: John McGinn from Aston Villa. Sell: Evan Ferguson. Loan: Facundo Buonanotte.

What would your selections be ??

Someone posted this before. Whoever made the selects for that article clearly chose the weirdest suggestions to prompt exactly discussions like this.

Sell Ferguson? He wins the Ballon d'Or in 2035.

Xavier: Buy: A new striker - Joao Pedro is good but he lacks that clinical edge.
Joao Pedro scored 20 goals in all competitions this season. Nobody has ever done that for us at the top level before. The last striker to get 20 in a season was Glenn Murray in the Championship promotion season. He scored 23 with a goal every 158 minutes. Pedro has one every 137 minutes. The last striker to score at a better rate over a season was Bobby Z in the second division in 2001/02.

"Lacks that clinical edge"?

If you could sign any player why would John McGinn or Gustavo Hamer even cross your mind, let alone be your final pick?

I would not believe anything Xavier says about anything ever again. In what universe is Mitoma overrated? Hasn't he watched his goal of the season against Wolves, as just one of many examples?

He's excellent at penalties but he does tend to hold onto the ball rather than shooting or passing, so I understand and don't completely disagree with the comment.
