I know it's a huge IF but I was reading some article about a £20 million bid for Yarmolenko and that is what the Naismith fee would be spent on.
As much as I love the work ethic of Naismith I do feel this would be an upgrade if it somehow materialised!
Source was the Daily Fail for those who will ask.

Not having a pop, been wanting to ask this for a while. What is our fans obsession with Yarmolenko? He's not world class and is unproven in a good league. Is it the goal against us? Because we had a similar reaction to Bolasie 2 seasons ago, begging to sign him. I don't know if it's the fancy name, or the possibility of another 20m+ signing. What is the major attraction? .

He's signed a new contract time to move on.

I think that he is too much of a gamble; likely big ego (like eto) inflated by another money grabbing agent. We still have a manageable wage structure as soon as that stops it causes internal and financial rot - look at Leeds and Portsmouth. There are better cheaper less complicated options out there.
{Ed025's Note - it depends how you look at it avro, are you happy with mid table obscurity then the cheaper option is the one to go for, if you want top end of the table stuff then we need quality players..pretty basic really mate..

Does anyone know much about montero from Swansea that's rumoured to b linked to us is he any good?
{Ed025's Note - hes very good imo rainman, very skillful but not the best at tracking back and could be classed as a luxury player i suppose, for the right price he would be a good purchase imo mate..

Sounds good ed better and cheaper option than yarmelenko. More chance to get him in along with Bryam from Leeds . We also need imo a striker in case Rom gets injured - not sure how long he out for but Kone not the answer there imo. Cardozo was mentioned in papers getting on a bit but could b good cover - big wages though.
{Ed025's Note - we will need a striker for next season rainman as lukakiu will be on his bike come summer im convinced of that, cardozo is not the answer though for me, too long in the tooth and after a pay day, we need someone with hunger and a fire in his belly..who that may be im not sure mate..

I've seen Yarmalenko play a few times and he can create or score a goal out of nowhere. He does seem to go missing for large parts of games then scores a great goal. He has quality but is not world class due to his inconsisticies but i'm not 100% convinced he would be a good buy for us as there just seems to be a lot of baggage comes with him. And we can't afford to take a big risk on someone like him.
{Ed025's Note - that is certainly a problem joe..
10 Jan 2016 14:18:14
Cordoza is not the answer, we need more mobility up front, I would prefer to see a justin Rhodes type of striker, eager to prove himself in top flight football.
{Ed025's Note - if we need to replace rom we will need better than rhodes i feel avro, hungry yes..but of higher quality i feel mate..
10 Jan 2016 15:03:00
If Rom goes maybe get bony.
{Ed025's Note - not a bad shout that rainman..
10 Jan 2016 15:32:54
I would only punt for Rhodes as a backup striker (naismith replacement) not a Rom replacement - big expensive shoes to fill.
10 Jan 2016 16:32:28
I'd go for that embolo Young and got potential always a gamble like rom was.
Batsushi fell same as lukaku not played in a top league so another risk with potential
Inki kid from a Madrid same as the other two risk to could pay off
Bony probably the same price as the rest bit older but proven in the prem needs to place consistent to keep his match fitness and would suit playing are passing game with his back to the goal.
