Because nobody else will bid on Toby.
But that could change, obviously.

Maybe - and if it did change, I am sure Levy would prefer to deal out of the league.But that could change, obviously.
Martial would be our statement signing. And expensive one. That is ‘If!?’ We can pull it off
I wonder if Levy had a hand in his agent publicaly revealing that Martial wants to leave?Martial would be our statement signing. And expensive one. That is ‘If!?’ We can pull it off

I’d be fucking buzzing.Thanks for the info but I think quite a few of us will be a bit disappointed that Martial is our statement signing. Not so much that he isn't a decent player but in that with Son available it doesn't seem that much of an upgrade (if at all) and is in an area we don't necessarily need to strengthen.

Son is amazing on his day however when he is off form or squanders his chances, we only have Lamela to bring on. We are still unknown over what impact Lucas can have in big games so I'd happily let Lamela go and bring Martial in.
I think its going to take people a while to adjust to our MF next season. Almost everything points to us moving from a CM pairing to a CM trio.Ok. You're obviously a big fan of Martial but why do you think this is the best use of our transfer funds? I'm open to changing my mind but at this juncture I just can't see it.
Some people are forgetting that, just two years ago, martial was named the best young player ON THE PLANET, Even over certain names currently in our XI. He hasn't had the best times under Mourinho, but neither did Salah Lukaku(previous time at Chelsea) and De Bruyne. Martial has the talent to be a success at any club in the world. He'd be a MASSIVE statement of intent for us.

I suppose he could also cover for Harry upfront. Nonetheless i'd personally would rather have seen our statement signing being in CM.
Not that I'm trying to speak for other people, but in my opinion, martial is a 'bums off seat' kind of player. Brings the sort of excitement fans love to see.Ok.

I am expecting Eriksen and another CM to play in front of Dier (or Wanyama). It could be Grealish or Dele or Winks - but I don't think we will be spending big on a CM this summer - even though Dembele will be moving on. We will not be replacing like-for-like.
Deal so difficult Herc's gotta use full words instead of emojis must be very difficult.Martial would be our statement signing. And expensive one. That is ‘If!?’ We can pull it off
Bale aside which is a massive long shot, what other statements are even out there in our ballpark?
Take CM for example:-
Thiago is seemingly on the market but seems Barca are going balls deep there, can't compete with that. Milinkovic-Savic seems too pricey even for the elite. Maybe Kovacic (or even Modric) could become available under Lopetegui at Madrid but there'd probably be a big queue there too, and Kovacic might not even command a £50m+ fee. How much would Rabiot command? Maybe we have no CM targets for the 'statement' money, unless we overpay.
Plus there's the possibility we may well switch to a 3 man midfield in which case Dele and Eriksen are already top class.
I like this idea really much.Alli and eriksen were absolute outstanding in that match and having winks/Dier as back ups doesn't make us look that weak at all.Bale aside which is a massive long shot, what other statements are even out there in our ballpark?
