Pipe dream: Varane, Busquets, Cavani (edit: Müller would be brilliant addition as well)

Realistic: Hummels, Javi Martinez, Higuain/Falcao

Edited by Tarantino



Hope that means Cech is staying then. :good2:

Well if rumours are to be believed big kurt is off on loan(Don't understand that) so that just adds more fuel to the fire that we will be signing a defender.

These 'signings' could be players already at the club out on loan. For example Bamford, Kalas and Van Ginkel would all be new additions to the first team which makes them new players. I would actually prefer those three than spending money on 3 new players. I remember reading Mourinho say he considers returning players 'like new signings'.

The defender might just be a full back if Filipe Luis is off.

Why on earth would you let Zouma go on loan after his season?

Unless the signings are the highest quality, prefer to bring back a couple of the loanees.

No GK then?

Alderweireld will probably be the def. Midfielder could be gundogan or modric. Not sure on the ST, falcao?

 

I think whoever we buy to replace outgoing players won't count, because our squad is already very small.

 

I wouldn't mind Alderweireld since he can play in several positions (RB, CB, DM) and he has already played 1 year in PL. 

 

I'm not sure what Mourinho means with midfielder, since that could mean DM, CM, or AM/winger. Ideally we would sell Cuadrado and replace him with Reus, Griezmann or Sterling. We could then add a box to box midfielder to strengthen our squad, Veratti, Witzel, Imbula etc.

 

Hopefully our new striker is one of these: Benteke or Lacazette.

 

Players  that we have been linked with that I don't want us to buy/Loan: Falcao, Douglas Costa, Zlatan, Miranda, Higuain, Sissoko, Charlie Austin..

You wouldn't want us to get Charlie Austin?  You're either daft or dumb.  

On a side note, I am hoping the three are:

Varane

Koke

Falcao

I think Chalie Austin is just an average striker that has been lucky infront of goal, 3 of his 18 goals have been penalties btw. I haven't been impressed when I have seen him play and the stats show that he has a weak possesion, pass completion, Successful take ons and chances created score compared to most strikers. Costa as an example destroys him in those stats with 1000 less minutes.

Yup. Just another in a long line of average strikers who have half-decent seasons at small clubs. 



I disagree about Charlie Austin, we at least need to see another season of him before saying things like he's average. People have said the same about Harry Kane but again lets wait and see ow he does in another season before claiming things like he's average or a one season wonder.

I doubt he will change that much, he had simillar stats in the Championship. Charlie Austin strongest attribute is his aerial ability, if we wanted someone dominant in the air though, then Benteke has 187 Aerial duels won (54.84% success) compared to Austins 86 (31.27% success).

It also all depends on who, if anyone, we sell.

 

Get a few million from our Youth team and hanger-on's and we could certainly strengthen our squad, assuming we stick to the mantra of "sell to buy."

 

However, if we use some of the TV and Yokohama money, we could certainly look much higher.

 

Ideally, Varane, Pogba, Griezmann (counting as a forward)
