not too disheartened, he'll cost them insane money.

The would be no point selling him.
Loan him to a top league and he performs as well again he would be a 100 million pound player.
If he doesn't we could probably bring him into the squad on a new contract extension.
The strategy seems to be to get defenders who are good on the ball which is why we got Senesi and bid for Van Hecke.
Romero plays on his side and is probably gone so they want to replace Romero's on the ball ability and progressive passing with Van Hecke. Vuskovic will probably be loaned out.
Can't really say apart from great potential.
the bundesliga is wank at the moment. Thomas Franks Tottenham smashed Dortmund 2-0 ...that's their second best team
No he's not. We don't need him. He has become overrated again the last few months plus he's the last defender RDZ wants.
Also this Maguire stuff is tiresome. Its the same cycle.....
Great season for Leciester and breaks on the scene for England. Top defender in a low block. Underrated.
Signs for Man United for 80m. Good season. Brilliant for England in Euros. Van Dijk comparisons. Becomes overrated.
He plays a few bad games the next season. People want him dropped for England. United fans want him sold. ETH drops him. Gets way too much forced critisism. Becomes totally underrated.
He fights through the bad spell. Ends up having a few good games. People recognise how underrated he is. People want him in the England squad again. People argue he's man united's best centre back. He becomes overrated again.
One of the things I read/saw this morning RE van Hecke (and Senesi) was that their ball playing is so good - it takes the pressure off of getting that playmaker in midfield, allows us to maybe get a couple of all-rounders in there instead
Swap him for Ferran Torres who has one year left on his Barca contract
We'll probably need to based on the squad building the defenders we'll likely have start of the season won't be good in the air so we'll need midfielders who can make up for that which is why I want to keep Palhinha partly.
Lack of aerial ability at the back is a worry I don't think we have enough players who can head the ball.
It might be an issue, but on balance I am very happy with having ballers in there (and the team in general)
Even if the cost is getting bullied in the air a bit
Do we know which top clubs even want Romero? Atletico were the only club who really pushed for him and apart from Alvarez ( who's never joining us), I don't really see who we take from them.
Torres would be brilliant if barca were interested. It could potentially open the door to Barcola or Ramos if PSG are interested.
3 at back certainly looks possible - and explains why we seem to be signing a few CB's.
And with several CB's being noted for their progressive passing (Senesi and Van Hecke being 1st and 3rd in this table), it reduces need for more passing CM's

If we get senesi and van hecke then does that mean micky and romero are off? Do we need all these players especially with vuksovic coming through.
Obviously drag will be sold
Obviously drag will be sold
Athletico are the only one thats been a solid link
And when they sell that striker to Barca theyll have the money
They'll want him if a deal can get done regardless, his stock will go sky high after the WC as well IMO
