.. and so they should.. 30m for Shaw and Lallana may seem excessive but they're under no obligation to sell and deserve to be rewarded for developing exciting English talent.
That said, it puts them well out of Spurs range and even the likes of Lovren may be beyond our "sell to buy" budget having cost them about 8m last summer and proving himself to be PL quality.
Raiding Swansea seems obvious next step to find home grown players coached to be comfortable on the ball
LB - Davies
Established himself this season and hasn't looked out of place. Solid in defence and good in possession.. reports suggest he'd cost 5-10m.
CB - Williams
Ashley Williams would improve us no end, determined to see out his contract they'd apparently sell for just 3m. The Swansea captain could be the perfect replacement for Daws.
ST - Bony
A player with a unique style who may get extra attention after an impressive first season, but I think he's the real deal - he has deceptively good technique to go with the fact he's built like a tank. 20m should be enough, although I'm not entirely convinced Levy would go for it Pochettino does like a strong presence up front.
Lastly, I know he's at the other Welsh club but I was gutted when we let Caulker go, if we could bring him back it's a no brainer for me and by all accounts Cardiff are ready to do a deal.
With a shrewd bit of shopping we could fill 3 key positions for less than one Saints player would cost..
What say you?

Michu has real injury problems. Heard a rumour that he might never reach full fitness again.

When he was out we missed him terribly and started conceding goals from set plays and crosses

That's a constant mate.
