Levy mentioned us signing 7 internationals in his club statement. Didn't mention anything about signing any new players. :D

I still think we are going to sign one good squad player like dempsey and attempt to sign (but probably fail like moutinho) an excellent player at the end of the day

Surprised if something "big" happened at this stage. Seems highly unlikely. And it it doesn't... That's cool. We are in a great position of strength.

Backing up here... The way I see it, the price is £45m, so you can narrow it down to someone off this list: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/suche/detailsuchespieler/suche.html?searchId=1364792

From there, knock out who isn't available (keep the maybes and long shots). Then, assume that it is an attacking player. This leaves you with:

Draxler
Di Maria
Reus or Lewandowski (least likely of all)
Benzema -mentioned by The Goat
Hamsik
Ozil
Suarez
Hulk
Mata
Rooney

Any previous ITK matching to this list?



Realistically, it has to be Hulk given AVB's past history and the fact that he is very much available.

Frankly, I CANNOT see us signing anyone - except for few loan outgoings.

But Ade out could trigger a deal for someone. If someone comes for Ade, its posssible that we are in for a forward. Again I can see it someone who can play alongside Soldado & not as a upgrade/replacement for him.

Personally, I want us to get a Left Back & a young striker signed.

As far as Arse transfers, I dont give a shit. Let them sign Ozil or whoever.
We cannot contain other transfers - AVB has a very tough job of integrating the team. If he does that well, we will improve regardless of what others do.

If its Benzema then I'd rather the money go to the Stadium as I can't see him offering much. He's always seem overrated to me and the fact that Higuain kept him on the bench says to me he wasn't even the best forward at Real.

That's not an indicator of his quality as a forward.
Many brilliant footballers put in outstanding performances for their clubs, but don't live up to the same standard with their respective national squads, and vice versa.
In fact, some of the finest players around don't even play for their national teams, so that's not a strong argument.
Not to say Benzema won't improve his record for France, but nevertheless.

Not a ton of ITK on this one but does anyone think Arda Turan could be a possibility? Has buyout clause of £20 mill according to this article (which i believe some ITK mentioned as something they are looking for in terms of buys)from Spain (which one ITK alluded to I believe a few days ago), would be a LW possibility and add to creativity.

First of all, I was just stating a fact...
Anyway regarding Benzema - I cant see him being played ahead or alongside Soldado.
That's why I cant see this ITK talking shape for the money quoted.
