Benik Afobe

Seems to have struggled at Wolves this season. We nearly spent MASSIVE on him. Signing a decent striker is a huge judgement call and financial risk, but one we have to take. I would imagine Naismith would be the lower risk option of potential targets out there, if we could get him. Still think Mbokani has lots more to offer than we've seen so far, if used properly.
I'm waiting for some feedback from my mate in Utrecht on Haller.
