So where will he go?

Witsel would be a great signing but he'd cost an absolute fortune.

No way in hell could we afford Witsel. Him and Hulk cost €100m so no way could we afford that.

I'd like Kwadwoh Asamoah, Christian Benteke, a first team centre back and a young up and coming centre back.

Get it sorted please!

A strong midfielder will be tough to find with our budget. Romulo from Spartak Moscow might be a good bet. In center back I'd like Williams for some experience and I'd like Papadopoulos from Schalke, he'd be a great replacement for Carra I reckon.
-----------------------------
Do we have a budget? I thought the owners had always made it clear that we don't have a budget. We identify what players we want and then sign them.

I haven't seen nor even heard of Romulo so I can't comment on him but Williams is certainly not the defender we need in my opinion. He just isn't good enough and with his words on Suarez wouldn't be the right player to bring in. At his age also he wouldn't be happy sitting on the bench. The Papadoupolos looks a very good player but is prone to a few errors. He'd be a good signing in my opinion. Schalke rejected a £12m bid from Milan and accepted a £16m bid from a Russian team, Anzhi maybe? Maybe £16m for a sub isn't the right way to go.

I think don't think Skrtel has went off form, more Agger went off form. I feel Carragher was brought in as Brendan was worried about the 'voice' in the team.

Bottom line is we shouldn't let Benteke go for less than 20 million. Man Utd don't need him. Spurs may be in with a shout but Arsenal with Wenger in charge will never pay the asking price. Only Chelsea and City can really get him and they should both get fleeced royally by us. 30 million for the next Drogba.

if you think spurs would pay 20 million for benteke then i want some of whatever you have been smoking

If Benteke is worth 20 million then Bale is worth 100million because he is 5x the player of Benteke right now. Benteke has had a good 1st season but so did Kevin Davies once upon a time and he has hardly become a prolific goal scorer in his career. My point being let's wait and see if he repeats his form next season then we will see if there is a top player there. I wouldn't pay anymore than 11million for him right now
