Are there any young Xavis and Fat Ronaldos out there?
Gotze's getting quite similar to Fat Ronaldo.

Nah they probably won't go down... game against Chelsea showed they have enough in them to stay up.Not surprised at all that he'd refuse a new contract. No amount of wage increase would make him want to stay at Palace if there are top teams sniffing around him, surely?
I mean hell, they could still get relegated.
And he Wembley pitch isn't that much bigger than ours anyway. Too much is made of this
Forget Zaha, we need to insert ourselves in this business:
I would blow the entire transfer budget on him, and I'm not even joking. Winks, Wanyama, Dembele, Keita, and Dier is a midfield sorted out for the next decade.
Also, great example of why Bayern are so deadly as a club, both rich and very smart. And it will be very interesting if Red Bull can keep things together.
Who on earth would pay anything for Sissoko now?!

As for Zaha...that will surely mean Lamela is out? Very stoked to see what Poch is up to..as long as we're not going to make any Sissoko-like signings ochfacepalm:

Random thoughts:
How bad would it be if Rose left for 50M and Shaw came in for 15-20M (if Rose wants to leave)? I honestly don't follow Shaw enough, but would he be a good replacement for Rose? Poch has history with him, obviously. Can Shaw play as a wingback?
I think Sissoko will be sold for 20-25M and those funds used (in part) to bring in Zaha, who is going to go around for what Sissoko did. I don't think Lamela is going anywhere, but I think GKN is gone this summer for around 10M, and that's who Zaha would be replacing.
I would be surprised if Janssen leaves and I don't think we are looking for another striker in the summer with him and Son on the roster.
Isco will be brought up again and again nothing will happen.
Honestly, I don't think Spurs will do much this summer unless someone wants to leave.
Rose is now the best LB in the Prem but Shaw was the best under Poch at Saints, I don't know what Poch does to full backs but he seems to have magic powers.
I wouldn't want to sell Rose but yes if he did force a move, Shaw would a good option as a replacement although so would Sessegnon. Let's just try and keep Rose.
