Would not go a penny higher than £8m for Bolasie personally
Wouldn't go for him at all as we would just continue the never ending cycle of buying/selling squad players that never quite make the grade. Selling Lamela or Andros and then buying Bolasie makes no sense what so ever. We should be looking to upgrade the stating 11 not buying more players to fill up the overall squad that after a season or two we end up struggling to move on.

Re Ari info,

I'm really hoping Son comes in and ends the Bolasie link. Interesting about the 4, I'd be happy with a really good 3. Should be doable for a fair net amount if 3/4 of those players mentioned leave. Will be an epic week if we can turn around 7/8 deals.

My dream would be:-

In:-
Son 18
Berahino 22
Kramer 25 (if Bayer go out of CL)

Out:-
Lamela/Townsend 14
Fazio 5
Lennon 4
Adebayor Free

Circa £20m net spend.

Would be surprised to see 4, maybe a loan for Hernandez as the 4th?

Poch wanted Illara as his main target so the club waited until the player made his decision. What is the problem with that? For all you know the MANAGER has indicated that he would rather we wait to see if we can sign his main target rather than leave the running early and sign up an alternative. I don't see why that is so hard for someone like you to understand?

The club are not buying players to yours or my deadline. They are trying to back the manager with players he wants.

You just need to sit down and wind it in until the window is shut.
This...fucking this!

Son surely Lamela & Lennon replacement. Berahino, Soldado & Ade replacement.

Ade, Lennon, Fazio off. Lamela/Townsend possibly leaving also, depending on interest.

That's what I'd guess. Hopefully Townsend gets an offer from a team like S'ton. Genuinely feel that, with the proposed increased pace and movement in the front 4 (if we get our signings), a creative player like Lamela will thrive.

Great but we need a strike force not a 4x100m relay team.

Someone mentioned LG being a possible sponsor.

Based on what a Korean fan said in the Son thread signing him would bring massive commercial opportunities. We would be well placed in Korea as well as the USA (Popular there plus the NFL linkup) for shirt sponsors, naming rights etc...

Not a chance we close 4 deals in 5 days. 2 deals would be par, 3 would be excellent, 4 would be erotic.

All depends how far we are along in any deals.

Considering how fast this Son deal seems to be unfolding, then I would'nt totally rule out 4 deals in 5 days

Bolasie is a dreadful player.

I'm glad JJ confirmed that link is bollocks, and that Townsend is staying.

Fuck me, Bolasie. Really ? Oduwa's the same type but has got a better brain on him and he's 19.

Mitchell's black box must have the "Redknapp, buy geezers wot had blinders against us" virus.
