ally_uk Posted 25 August, 2015 Share Posted 25 August, 2015 Ok assume the Virgil thing is a done deal, Les Reed has given you £30 million to strengthen further who would you sign? Pure fantasy I know but would be interesting to see the options for me: SC - Charlie Austin £15 Million why?: we cannot rely on Pelle up top every game Austin is capable of scoring in the prem. DL - Jetro Willams £7 Million - Def Left young massive potential good cover for Bertrand. AM - Dennis Praet £8 Million - Young Attacking Mid talent Who would you get in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 25 August, 2015 Share Posted 25 August, 2015 Well if we're dealing in pure fantasy then I would sign a £30m player and that player would be Edison Cavani. He'd cost more than £30m, but this is fantasy, so we'd sign him for £30m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Posted 25 August, 2015 Share Posted 25 August, 2015 If you sign Austin you would still have the same problems we have now. It would be like having two versions of Pellè. You'd need a player to give him the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jai27 Posted 25 August, 2015 Share Posted 25 August, 2015 Kensuke Honda. He's exactly the type of player we are missing and would inject some much needed creativity into our attack. Any change left from that would go on Michael Bradley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baird of the land Posted 25 August, 2015 Share Posted 25 August, 2015 If its fantasy we are talking about then for me i t would be offer swansea a huge amount for Cork. Personally i'll be very happy if we avoid Austin too. Of QPR's players i'd much prefer Phillips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadoldgit Posted 25 August, 2015 Share Posted 25 August, 2015 How much do we have for wages? That is the issue Whitey. It is not the transfer fee, it is how much you are prepared to pay in wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convict Colony Posted 25 August, 2015 Share Posted 25 August, 2015 I think its all about Attacking Central Midfielders for us as this is the 1 position we haven't upgraded since Davis and I would buy 2. 1 who is an absolute gun and 1 who has shown promise and I don't even need the full 30mil. So for me. Gun - Free = Yoann Gourcuff 1.85m tall (wages would take a fair chunk and injury prone but needs to get out of France) Promise- PSG - 10mil = Adrien Rabiot 1.91 tall (entice him as Gourcuff gets injured a fair bit so he would play a lot) So both can deal with the physical side, either that or try Nir Bitton from Celtic as my promising back up.

jjsaint Posted 25 August, 2015 Share Posted 25 August, 2015 I would buy Pompey and liquidate them. A nice big red-and-white striped car park. For the rest of the £29,990,000 I'd buy Harry Kane to give him the chance of playing at a big club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Gourcuff play for Bordeaux once. When he is fit he is an incredible talent, great movement, passing shooting and is also brilliant with free kicks. He is still unattached at the moment, and is reputed to want silly money. If he could be persuaded to take a smaller wage, with a big appearance fee, he could be worth the gamble.

Saint-Fred Posted 25 August, 2015 Share Posted 25 August, 2015 I'd offer all of it for Eriksen and if spurs turn it down at least their favourite journo could write an article on how he was now costing them 400000 pounds per week for the rest of his contract.

Cabrone Posted 25 August, 2015 Share Posted 25 August, 2015 If we are having to be realistic then Cabaye would be my choice - however being as he has already gone elsewhere I'd go for Ben Arfa.

With what's left over I'd put a bid in for Coutinho. I'd also seriously look at Austin, he may not be an all round player but he knows how to score and we currently don't. I can't see too many goals in us at the moment and that is a real concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted 30 August, 2015 Share Posted 30 August, 2015 Assuming Van Dijk is signed and sealed for £10 million or so how would I spend the remaining £30 - and this fantasy? For a start I'd meet the asking price for Charlie Austin at £15 Million - at that price a fantastic signing for us and great value considering we paid £12 million or so for Osvaldo and £12 million for Long. We desperately need a goal scorer and someone to lead the line with a bit of aggression. I'd spend the rest of the £30 million on Tonny Vilhena to give us the left footed midfielder we need to strengthen midfield - and a long term replacement for Davis - and Sam Byram from Leeds to give Cedric some proper competition at left back and some cover for right midfield. If Sadio Mane really wants to go to Man Utd I'd sell him for £20 million plus and try get Adnan Januzaj and Javier Hernandez in exchange as part of the deal - using what's left of the £30 million to seal the deal. If we got Austin or Hernandez I'd Sell Graziano Pelle to Bologna if they are really interested on the condition they take Gaston Ramirez back as well - £8 million for the pair - and hope it means we don't have to pay any add ons or the full £12 million fee for Ramirez. I'd also Sell Shane Long back to Hull for £6 million which is what he's actually worth - and again hope it means we don't end up actually having to pay the full £12 million fee for him. If they don't want him I'd see if WBA or Sunderland would take him for the same price. And if Wanyama really wants to go I'd sell him for £20 million plus. I'd happily take Lamela on loan but we would need to replace Wanyama. Sergi Samper on loan from Barcelona might just do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 1 September, 2015 Share Posted 1 September, 2015 Ok assume the Virgil thing is a done deal, Les Reed has given you £30 million to strengthen further who would you sign? Pure fantasy I know but would be interesting to see the options for me: Who would you get in £30 million?....at the prices we find our gems... I'd buy half-a-dozen promising types from various European countries....definitely not another Osvaldo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
