I think a goalkeeper needs to be looked at as well.
No. Two of those players are on obscene wages.Could we do something like this?

Tbh seems like Zahavi and Mendes are our friends now, they aren't cheapPlus both teams spend the most on agents fees. That shouldn’t be overlooked.
In an ideal world with £150m + sales available for transfers, I think we'd need a first choice keeper, homegrown backup/3rd choice keeper, right back (possibly 2), centre back, defensive midfielder and number 9. Left back also potential area of concern although at present we have two options there.I think a goalkeeper needs to be looked at as well.

Typical we appear to get them on board when we're in the middle of something so unprecedented and with what purportedly seems to be no dosh ... (some might argue always been the case)Tbh seems like Zahavi and Mendes are our friends now, they aren't cheap

I agree. But we absolutely have to nail it. We cant get any of them wrong. That's quite a big ask.
At this stage it wouldn't surprise me to see Friedel wheeled out of retirement.I know he's been terrible recently and might have gone the way of Joe Hart, but does anyone think a cheap punt on Jack Butland might be sensible? He's HG and would fill a backup need, and if he does get back to his best would push Hugo for a spot. We'll obviously be moving on Vorm and maybe we could get some cash for Gazzaniga too.

I think the suggestion from barca for Coutinho was that they'd be prepared to subsidise.No. Two of those players are on obscene wages.
Think I'd prefer Joe Hart to be honest. Couldn't believe the amount of mistakes I was seeing Butland make for Stoke.
The plus is that it sounds like he’s always known that, which allays one of the fears that he was going to go ape shit if we didn’t spend any money. I think he will be happy, like all of us, if we just address the problem areas.
We might not spend lots but I’m expecting a relatively high turnover of players. It won’t have escaped his (or levy’s notice) that some of the squad have deteriorated more than he was expecting when he joined.
Sane ?
Crazy talk ?
