Getting the Johan Cruyff to Leicester City deal over the line in 1981 might have kept us up that season. Could he do it on a cold Tuesday at Filbert Street?

Darwin Nunez was on Brighton's radar for several windows before he eventually joined Liverpool. May have dodged a bullet on that one.

Arsenal are getting close to agreeing a new contract with 18-year-old Ethan Nwaneri.
My colleague Sami Mokbel reported a couple of days ago that talks over a new deal were set to accelerate and an agreement is close.
The youngster's current deal is set to expire next season.
Nwaneri had an excellent breakthrough season for the Gunners scoring nine goals in 37 appearances in all competitions.
The midfielder was also part of the England U21 side that won the Euros in Slovakia last month.
BBC Sport previously reported that the deal will be for five years or four with the option of a further year.

That's your lot on Ekitike and Isak for now - unless anything new breaks today then we'll be straight back on it for you.
We've got a bit of contract news from Arsenal to bring you now, plus the latest on the Luis Diaz situation at Liverpool.
Keep your messages coming in on the 'Ones that got away' too - plenty of great shouts already with plenty more to come your way.

With Ekitike and Isak grabbing the headlines at the moment, who else is out there?
Talksport, external reported that Liverpool's representatives had met with Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta in Paris to discuss a move to Anfield.
But they have also been linked with several other players, including the likes of Ollie Watkins, Victor Osimhen and Yoane Wissa.

The one that got away for me was Rooney to Newcastle. It was all agreed and we, for an unknown reason took our time, Man Utd swooped in. It would have been brilliant to see Rooney in that team with Bobby as manager.

Sky Sports, external are reporting that Liverpool are expected to rival Newcastle United for Ekitike after being told Alexander Isak is not for sale in this window.
They suggest that Newcastle value Isak at £150m and are not considering selling him, with Liverpool now turning their attentions to the Eintracht Frankfurt forward.
Liverpool are currently exploring the parameters for other centre-forward targets, as they look to add depth to their attacking options.

Can't believe we were robbed of a Morten Gamst Pedersen x Robert Lewandowski link-up by a cloud of ash.

Lewandowski to Blackburn would have been interesting if not for the infamous Icelandic ash cloud!

He used that pace to good effect, attempting 126 dribbles, the league’s fifth highest total, typically collecting the ball in wide areas and driving inside towards the box.
Should Newcastle win the race to sign him, Ekitike will join Anthony Gordon and Anthony Elanga at St James’ Park, making the Magpies quite the handful for opposition defenders next season.

There's always one that we go back to in our heads and wonder, "what if?" isn't there?
The one that got away.
Football transfers, I mean football transfers!
I'm not saying the Ekitike and Isak stuff is going to end badly, but it has got me thinking.
Who is one signing your club were linked with in the past that never came off and it still bugs you to this day?
Or even as a neutral - one big move in the football world that never happened and you really wish it did.
I'm thinking Steven Gerrard to Chelsea (sorry Liverpool fans), Lionel Messi to the Premier League - that kind of thing.

Should Newcastle or Liverpool succeed with a move for Ekitike they would land one of Europe’s brightest young talents.
Only three players aged 23 or under were directly involved in more goals than Ekitike in the top five European leagues last season.
The Frenchman scored 15 top-flight goals and assisted eight, with his combined tally matching that of Cole Palmer and one more than Liverpool's record signing Florian Wirtz and Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal managed – certainly good company to be keep.

Ekitike's tactical understanding is one of his great strengths.
He served as a lone striker as well as part of a two-striker set-up under Frankfurt manager Dino Toppmoller.
During the first half of last season, Ekitike and Omar Marmoush formed a fearsome strike pairing which was torn apart when Manchester City signed Marmoush for £63m in January.
Subsequently, Frankfurt did not acquire a replacement for Marmoush and instead changed the tactical set-up, with Ekitike the lone striker.
He is versatile and not just a striker that feels at home inside the box. Ekitike might not be the most dynamic player, but he can get past defenders with smart moves.
It seems as if the Bundesliga side are fine with selling yet another top player to a Premier League club.
Their current model is that they find these gems, try to develop them and then fund their next signings through the money they generate.
Signing Ekitike could give Newcastle a pre-season selection conundrum.
The statistics do suggest Isak and Ekitike have a lot of overlap in their play and have the same best position - playing as a lone striker.
Isak played 98% of his Premier League minutes last season as a central striker, only briefly featuring on the left of a front three.
His central role in Newcastle's attack is surely not to be messed with, given a return of 23 goals in 34 games.
However, a similar argument could be made for Ekitike. He scored 15 league goals in 31 starts for Frankfurt last season and played as a striker 95% of the time.

Touch maps for both forwards show they share a tendency to get on the ball in the inside left channel, but with Ekitike roaming more freely and a little deeper.
This perhaps offers encouragement to those who believe they can play alongside each other, with Ekitike at times dropping back to link with the midfielders.
He is a provider as well as a scorer, ranking in the top 6% among forwards for creating chances in last season's Bundesliga.

It's not a given that Ekitike will play second fiddle to Isak - in fact there is a hope that they could play together.
Newcastle like versatility. They tried to sign Chelsea's Joao Pedro this summer, who is another versatile striker.
I don't expect them to switch formation for the first game of the season, but this move would allow a greater scope to change tactics throughout the game.
The message is still that Isak is not for sale. Newcastle are determined to keep him and don't need to sell for financial reasons.
They are in the Champions League next season and want to be competitive in the league and all the cups so, even before Callum Wilson left, they were always going to need another striker.
Ekitike has the profile they want and allows the team to be so much more flexible tactically.
Newcastle have quality but often at times last season lacked depth. This signing would tick both of those boxes.
