This is not involving Bale! If! We get enough money on top of budget (150), and be sneaky smart, we would push on a big 70m signing, which Daniel is having kittens over. That would only happen if we receive very good offers for likes of the noted players in the media.

It is believed Rose will stay, but not expendable. Wanyama, Llorente, Dembele, Serge, Sissoko, Lamela. Hope that makes sense. Not going into details for debate. It is about being creative and smart, to take us to the next level. Go back to my past posts to understand the strategy.

Cheers Herc. Hope we don't waste too much time hoping for this dream player. Still think getting the crucial deals in as early as possible is the most important because early for us is still late for everyone else... :ROFLMAO::barefoot:

£70m could nudge us into the world of Savic!

Must be someone seriously good to make Daniel weak at the knees

And Bale ...... Wowsers. That is a summer of intent. Sit back and get comfy folks

Probably on my own in my thinking but I'd be gutted to see Aurier go as I still think there's a very good player there! I said the same about Son after his first season! I know Aurier let us down but he's also been equally as impressive to me! I just haven't concentrated on the negatives!

Wanyama was a force of nature for us last season. This season he's never quite seemed to reach those heights - but then, we were saying the same about Dembele last summer and he's just had his best season for us. As an 'if' rather than a 'must' it makes sense, but probably the last of the players on the rumoured list we'd be likely to let go; If Rabiot's the one at 50m, I'd be delighted. He definitely feels like our kind of player - and Aurier and Lucas can sell the club to him. But, of course, it could be anyone at all... I'd love it to be Rabiot, though!

As for Bale... I can't bring myself to believe it. It's been five years. He'd be a huge signing, comfortably the biggest theoretically possible signing in the PL this summer short of maybe Griezmann, and even then Bale's profile is so, so much greater. If Levy is after a statement signing, then there really isn't anyone comparable.

How so? If the thinking is that KWP steps in and Bale replaces Lamela then that money brought in sounds like it will go towards the CM.

But all this doesn't sound like we will get business done early.

I think if we were after him he would be a primary target from the get go. The way Herc makes it out is if we sell all the others for good money then we would move. Certainly would be the right amount but I would assume it would be close to the last business we would do if we have to sell all those first, and we all know CM is of top priority so one would hope we would have sorted that out by then. Savic has a lot of intrest and I very much doubt he will be at Lazio long enough for us to raise the 70 mil. My guess is an attacking M/WF/SS but there is zero reason even trying to guess as I very much doubt it will happen. Levy spending 70 mil...

My wife just asked me why I keep checking my phone. I told her it's transfer season and we're buying big this time. She looked at me the way you might look at an octogenarian after they've soiled themselves and said, "But you say this every window." Daniel, I swear I'll buff your head daily if you prove her wrong. Just make the bad words go away

Weird about possibly letting Wanyama go as not only is he a Poch faithful having been signed by him twice, he was also damn impressive in his first season with us.

But hey ho if Poch wants something different in that area of midfield...

signing Bale would be a dream (possibly even a wet one)

selling 3-5 players though could set us back, even if we replace them. Yes De Ligt to replace Toby, Bale to replace Lamela, but we need to strengthen and not have to bed in too many new players especially with the whole squad being doubtful to be playing in the pre season. though some of the players mentioned so far on the shopping list aren't involved in the WC.

We’ve always got Jansen and N’Koudou to kick start our fire sale. Fire Lighters like. It’s said we have to be brave.
