I like Davies, young and got prem experience, hope he'll solve the on going LB problem, Vorms a good back up as Big Brad cant go forever.
I think everyone at us wants to see a decent CB join to partner Verts, someone young or played in the prem before (both would be great) and not to pay over the odds. Lovren seemed like a great option until Liverpool wanted to pay over the odds for him. £18 Million is a great opening offer. My options are now with either. Vlaar, Alderwield, M.Richards
Secondly is midfield, talks of Sandro going and Schneiderlin coming in which I dislike as I really like Sandro and feel Morgan wouldnt improve the squad. Livermore and Siggs already gone which is good as I did like them but they had become surplus. Would like an AM but its not necessary. I watched Depay for Holland at the WC and for 20 he looks decent. If PSV are asking for 13 million id snap him up for the punt. Griezman is also good but we'll pay more, which is probably worth it aswell. Either of them 2 id be over the moon
As for Strikers, Id like 1 more (unless we sell Ade) to add abit more punch to our striker force. Bony all the way for me, I keep saying it and if Swansea want to sell him for 18-20 million thats a bargain, for his age and goals last season. Yeh i know his only had one season but really think he could be something big at us. J.Rogriguez would also be worth a punt if we failed to sign Bony.
Ins
Vlaar 8 Mill.........Alderwield 10Mill.................Richards 4 Mill
Depay 13 Mill..............Griezmann 24 Million
Bony 20 Mill..................J. Rogriguez 15 Million
Total: 32Million-54Million + 13Mill for Davies and Vorm
Outs
Livermore 8 Mill
Siggs 8 Mill
Rose 5 Mill
BAE 5 Mill
Dawson 5 Mill
Lennon/Townsend (if we sign an AM) 8 Mill
Total 31-39 Mill
overall net could be between 15-28 Million
Which youve gotta say is good

Reports suggest we are currently in talks with Chelsea offering Paulinho for Lukaku, sticking point is Chelsea want a £29m buy back clause and we will only proceed if the buy back clause is nearer £40m.

greateams, its well known in Manchester that Richards is always out and about around the town centre, late for training constantly and is known for poor weight control when injured and not taking rehab serious enough

Depay has to be worth a look if he's really available for that kind of money.. not that we need him

If true then Chelsea can f. Uck right off. Cheek of them to want a buy back clause and it wouldn't suprise me if they did. They maybe shouldn't buy every single player on the planet then they wouldn't have this problem

Sorry but I have to agree with a few of the others that you've had a bit of a mare here.
You're looking at us spending up to 67 million, on five players. Considering what we did last summer, using the Bale money to sign seven new players, that's never ever going to happen. And that money includes a 'punt', which is a word that makes Levy come out in a rash.
We've signed two already, I can't see more than one more player coming in, and I can't see that being a big money signing.
Richards was a good player, but is always injured and not really a CB, so we'd replace one crocked center back (kaboul) with another makeshift one, probably on higher wages. Nope.
There's also no way that Paulinho should be anywhere near our first team, though I accept that's personal opinion (also Chadli not making even the squad? Or Holtby, or Bentaleb, or Ciriches...)
You wouldn't get 8m for Lennon, or 5 for BAE, even with Levy's negotiating.
I agree about Bony though, I'd love him at Spurs. But even if he did sign, I'd imagine that Soldado will be first choice.
Sorry to be so negative!
