Every player has their price but who is realistic option to go for?
Lemar, for me is not a cm but more of a winger/ attacking midfielder.
Blaise Matuidi is rumored to be a target for juve for
€25 million. Cant understand why we are not in for him. Better than xhaka and ramsey.
Matic signing for utd. For me that is a great signing. Big, strong, powerful and disciplined.
Verratti seems to be open to a move but would be costly. €60+ million
Casemiro from real madrid. Limited playing time but a real talent.
Arturo Vidal. Could be costly but approaching latter stages of his career. Still top drawer and could influence sanchez in staying.
Matuidi seems to be the most realistic and would certainly add grit to our side.
Top class CMs available?

Seri is same size as Verrati and release clause is under £30m. Whichever club signs him getting a good player

Having a team full of smallish players is not a good idea. Having 2-3 is fine.
What the problem with Arsenal? We are lightweight and lack power. So the answer is to sign more lightweight players??

This is why Matic would have been a good player for us

So we should just buy players because they're tall and strong? Think we need a bit more than that. I don't want us paying £45m for an over the hill immobile CM.

Go back 2/3 seasons when chelsea won the league. He was their player of the season and with the right environment he will.flurish. He is far from finished and o his day he can be contender for player of season. Utd could have a player on their hands

None of the players on this thread mentioned are good enough or feasible.
Aside from Verrati and Goretzka there is nobody mentioned here we should be looking at.
Verrati would be extremely difficult to convince to join us, and that's ignoring the cost involved. If Barca couldn't get a deal over the line we have no chance.
Goretzka seems Bayern bound so again don't see much hope in us signing him
