Dream Signing

Oddly enough, I'd agree, although I suspect @SerenityNigh was being glib, that Everton is one of 4 or 5 squads in the premier league that wouldn't start Bradley. Pretty much 15-16 other clubs would be better with him included.

Half and half. I like Bradley quite a bit, but I've got red/white/blue colored glasses shading my vision. I think he's got more talent than he gets credit for, getting chased out of a transforming Roma squad after a new manager arrives. Remember, Pellegrini didn't want Barry either, but he's been a decent CM. If Gibson is healthy and Barry returns, someone like Bradley is unneeded. But I'd take him (certainly so given Barry's age and Gibson's health) without any reserve. He's certainly the best player on the US squad at present, although time will tell whether he can reach the level Donovan played at when he was in top form. On whether he'd fit, he'd fit much better in the Everton side than a lot of middling PL sides.
 
I would be thrilled if we got Blaszczykowski. Good player to patrol the right wing. I'd prefer Ribery, but it seems like he's still worth a ton, despite being 31. Maybe that's because he's like the third best player on the planet.

one of these please
 
I like Rakitic. It would be sweet if he succeeded Pienaar on the left with Barkley in the middle and Mirallas on the right.

He's a centre mid who can also play on the right mate, NOT a left winger or ever will be, besides he will cost a lot more than 15m and will end up being subject to links all summer with United and the rs

For United in fact he would be a perfect signing to sure up the middle
 
Batshuyi will have more suitors than Lukaku mate, that 8m release clause he has will attract all the good sides from England, France, Spain, Italy, Holland, Germany, Russia and Portugal.



assuming right now the value of Lukaku is around 20m and chelsea are hanging on to see if the world cup drives his price higher, then honestly 'if' we have the money its worth just saying 25m right now for him, as delaying could lose us any chance of him if he goes on to star at the tournament, long term the 5m extra would disappear anyway so shouldn't harm any long term transfer policy

I think Lukaku is probably worth more than 20M now. Bony would probably be a 1-2M cheaper but I don't he's as good of a playmaker as Lukaku.

I also wouldn't buy Lukaku until after the world cup. Say he blows out his ACL, then we are going into C-League qualifiers with nothing as we spent our allotment. Chelsea probably won't sell him until they pick up a guy after the WC anyway. Also if Spurs want him, I can't see us outbidding them. Hell Spurs gave Bent 80+K/week they can offer almost double the salary we can.
 
Croatians, lid. If we're dreaming of getting Rakitic, let's get Srna too. Always impressive in international games.

Alcacer we've been linked with before, same with Bacca. If Barca have a transfer ban i don't see why they'll be getting in the way of us signing him.

As i see it, we need a striker, an attacking mid and a centre back. I'd have Lukaku for first choice, then Remy, and then any other kind of talent we can cull from Roberto's magical sleeves. For attacking mid, i'd have James Rodriguez from Monaco or someone like Sessegnon, Ki or Van Der Vaart from struggling teams. Centre back is always a tough spot to fill but i hear Sevilla's Fazio is available. We've been linked with Virgil Van Dijk before, he's left footed (and does long shots well too, i hear) young and dutch. That's not half bad.

He can play anywhere and has played on the left of a midfield three for Croatia. He would cost more than £15m though.
