Insigne would be an incredible signing. Hazard, Insigne, Pedro, Willian, RLC. We can definitely play strong in 4 competitions with these players as our attackers + 3 strikers.

I don't get the hype around Insigne & at the rumoured £50m, you are better off throwing that at Arsenal for Sanchez.

And both are not available...next

I see that Donnarumma has rejected a new contract at AC Milan...now where's he's off to? 

Couple more tit bits...Chelsea and Tibo have broken off contract talks on an extension to his 2019 contract...apparently Tibo wants parity with De Gae who's on £200k a week. 

Also according to Spanish newspaper reports Chelsea have launched a last minute bid to take Morata for 75m euros...Manure have yet to agree a price with RM...

I would guess at juventus, with Buffon retiring soon.

Well, if he were as good as De Gea maybe he would get what he asks for. For now, beat it.

News about Morata, if true, are great. Much better option than Lukaku.

Who can we get if we lose courtois. We need to keep him. I agree with morata

Journalist Dan Levine has been on Talksh*te and rubbished all the Conte upset rumours...he reckons that deals have been done but they're waiting for the new Nike shirt deal to kick in before announcing them? 

According to Sky Sports Ronaldo has told Real Madrid that he wants to leave...anyone fancy a bit of CR7? 

I wonder if it has anything to do with the accusation of tax fraud and evasion...perhaps the threat of leaving Spain is expected to pressure on the courts to squash the investigation...er no...

Time will tell if he's correct or spouting board rhetoric.  Just wait for a few more weeks....

Says also interest in bonnuci but could be too much  at 50million for a 30 year old

Well if he goes, it will be for the prem, not city as ex united, not united as the bitter one there and clash of egos, surely cosmopolitan London, only one choice?

He will go to psg, he might not look as good in the prem at his age and he likes to look good

I said the same about ibra not too long ago.  And tbf he really surprised me with his effectiveness here.  

 

Fwiw I don't think Ronaldo will be coming to the prem either...but if he did I'd gladly take him

The reality is he wants more money on his contract, he is complaining  about tax in Spain a Tory government and brexit will probably mean much lower taxes for him here and that's the only attraction I see but I think he goes nowhere and gets paid more or goes PSG when he is 45 he will go China

Wow. What a terrible list. Seriously, these are all second tier players. Can you see Manchester United signing these players, Man City? Not to mention Bayern, Barcelona? These are Arsenal/Tottenham type of signings.

We are champions of England ffs, we should be chasing the very best there are. There are at least 5 available top class strikers better than Lukaku. Or Mahrez, Barkley??? Seriously?

Would be an awesome window if we get these players (no mahrez/barkley, Conti for RWB though).

Also sell: Costa (30mil), traore (15mil), MVG (8mil), Pasalic (7mil), Cuadrado (20mil), Begovic  (10mil), Atsu (6mil)

Squad:

Gk- Tibo, Caballero, Eduardo

CBs: GC, DL, Azpi, Zouma, Ake, Christensen

RWB: Conti, Moses

LWB: Sandro, Alonso

CM: Matic, Cesc, Kante, Bakayoko, Nat/Baker

Wingers: Hazard, Willian, Pedro, Musonda

ST: Lukaku, Michy, ?

The lack of homegrown players kind of forces our hand towards certain type of players and lukaku is key as he is homegrown.

Gutted that we have a 3rd GK which is non-HG. Would save a massive spot.
