I'd rather we not give the bin dippers another £50m thank you kindly. 

How about learning from their example and trusting one of our own.

Sterling will either be aaron lennon mark 2 or genuinely become a superstar. I don't expect him to stay in England long if he becomes the latter.

But how many top English players of late have gone on to (successfully) play abroad?

No chance, could get Reus for cheaper!

Sterling is already much better then Aaron Lennon ever was.

That's a backhanded compliment if ever I read one.

Our Chief scout Guy Hillion was watching Giannelli Imbula (Marseille) this weekend. I think it's more likely we would be going for him then Pogba to be honest, maybe as a future replacement for either Mikel or Ramires ?

I like him. Imposing and does a bit of everything a la Matic. He would probably be happy being a rotation option for a while as well. We don't need a Mikel or Ramires for the holding roles moving forward. But Fabregas would be the biggest loss for us and we have no comparable replacement. Koke would do nicely.

They would ask 20mil for him, he's one of the important players there.

Imbula looks like he has big ass potential.

 

Liverpool are in pole position to sign Germany midfielder Marco Reus, 25, after talks over a new contract at Borussia Dortmund collapsed. - Metro

Hope that's just bluster. Would hope we would be looking at him as I think he's a level above Schurrle.

Saw on bbc sport that Bayern are interested in Reus so he will probably end up there.. I also read he has a 20m release clause and is refusing to sign a new deal we HAVE to be in for him surely?

Yeah the release clause was heavily talked about in the summer, not sure why no one went in for him...maybe because he had that bad injury?

Hope we at least enquire about him!

i don't see us spending out 20+ million on a winger/attacker tbh. it would be great if we could get him, but i just don't see it. 

He will go to Bayern. Liverpool have no chance! Why would he go to a midtable team?

Dortmund must be sick of Bayern taking their players off of them. If we started selling all of our star players to City, Arsenal, or Liverpool i would really pissed.

 

I would love to have Reus here, him and Hazard on the wings would be great to watch. But i don't see that happening, Mourinho seems happy with what he has.

Don't think the clause kicks in until this summer. Would love him here tbh, although it would spell the end for salah, and possibly even schurrle.

I would kick any of our AM's apart from Hazard to have Reus who I believe is equal to him. Even if Barca/Real make a move for him we need to at least try and get him, especially if we win the League/Champions League.

Goal.com and the Guardian both reporting we are after Gerard Pique.

I would do the same and for £20mil-£25mil he would be a steal. Maybe we could just do a straight swap with Shurrle as well. Barcelona won't be competing for any players for the next transfer windows atleast with their transfer ban :)

Thank god for that, I was beginning to believe it might be true.

I don't really like the idea of bringing Bakkali.

Bought him in FIFA 14 for us....aside from that I don't know anythign about him.
