Yep . 4 starters for me. RB , CM , RW and CF.
Then , as squad players GK , CH , utility defender , midfielder and 3rd striker.
I'm hoping Tete signs on a free and Gana re-signs.
I'd expect us to spend about £80- 100 million on CF , CM and RW...
Always on the cards this...An agent with his best interests at heart would have pushed him towards us.
Agents will look no further than the end of their nose.
Make no mistake Delap's career at Chelsea won't be a long one.
Should have a cheeky bid for Alex Scott if the McAtee contract thing is going to be an issue, he seems a bit out of favour with Iraola, on the bench most weeks for Bournemouth.
I liked him. Thought he always gave 100% on the pitch. Not the best finisher by any means and for both parties its for the best he moves on. But I wish him well. Hope he rips it up somewhere else, just not against us.
I'd like Barry and that Ivanovic lad at Millwall, think he might offer something a bit different up top and not mind a bit part short term while he develops.
Then get Chermiti a good loan for the season.
I would guess and genuinely I have no inside knowledge whatsoever that now DCL and Everton are history that we will see Everton close the deal for Barry with some haste.
Barry , Tete and Gueye resigning would be a good start.
Another CM and RW...
I'm not worried at all, actually quite excited and have been since we were safe months back. It was always going to be a crazy summer so I think just sit back and enjoy.
My excitement level will be for the RW and CM starters.
Hopefully the Barry & Delap fees are an indication of the level were willing to move at for those two positions, at the very least.
A Fofana level player for the right would add some...
