Just fucking leave it alone. We only have sales and a bit of pocket money to buy half a back line, and a new midfielder.

Where are we gonna get 70m for fucking Martinez?
 
I don’t think we need all that. A stellar CM and RWB and we are good. If the former is Savic then go for it

That'll change.... Reckon if I scoured these pages long enough; I'll find you contradicting that, but ok that's your current take.

I’m expecting naming rights and / or outside investment this summer so

Again, based on anything other than your imagination and the fact that you'd like that to happen?

150M net is conservative.

LOL..... You said 130m in your last post..... It's creeping up already... Much like the size of your wants list will between now and September.

With 2 or 3 new players, we could win the PL next year. That will drift Away as Kane and Son age if we dont gamble now. 22 years of frugal, value based decision making hasn’t worked. Trust Conte and Paratici and back them.

I see, so essentially BAD value is the way fwd?
 


De Vrij would be an excellent signing.
He would be relatively cheap given his age, but would offer an immediate upgrade on Dier in that ‘middle of the back 3’ position which is so crucial to Contes system.

Spend big money then on a Bastoni or Pau Torres for the LCB spot and we immediately have one of the best back 3s in Europe.
 
I actually think we only need 3 outfield players

LCB - Gvardiol, schlottenbeck, Torres, Bastoni
RWB - Singo
CM - SMS, Tielemans etc

I’d like to keep Bergwijn and Lucas tbh and we wouldn’t need to freshen up top

Martinez would be the ideal attacking signing though.

He would offer a top class alternative to H at number 9, but he could also easily slot into either of those supporting forward roles occupied by Son and Kulu.

He’s an all round attacker that would completely transform our squad depth up front. If we get rid of one or both of Lucas and Bergwijn, Martinez would be a top class replacement.

Thought he played on the Left of a back 3?

I appreciate his tenacity and I can see how he could link up with Kane. He might thrive like Kulu, but 70m is too steep an asking price.

He resembles Lo Celso if he was a striker, less of a bitch and better finshing, but far from clinical.

If Kane isn't playing; who's gonna provide the creative passing from this rather unique false-10 position that's been carved?

If Martinez can't do that; I'd rather not bother and just have Eriksen on a freebie with Son, Berg, Kulu etc. running beyond him.

Keeping them both is a huge mistake imo. They're much of a muchness, and a major step down from our starting 11. The major thing that both offer is a burst of pace and fresh legs as a substitute deep in the second half. They've also both been here long enough to have had their shot, but neither of them looks anywhere close to competing with Kulusevski for that right-side attacker slot. Better to swap one for someone that would freshen up the squad and hopefully push for a spot.
