Good point about STCC...could be the way to keep Stones.

If we can generate funds selling these sort of "expendable" player then we must if we ever want the slimmest chance of keeping Stones.

If the rumours are true, replace McGeady with the Ox, and we're in business.

I guess a loan fee for Niasse +

Barry / Cleverley / Gibson /Kone / McGeady and possibly McCarthy going would be more than enough in terms of profit and wages...

How good do you think our midfield would be compared to the rest of the league?

Nowt to worry about, once he puts the royal blue jersey on, it will act like the golden fleece, his ills will be cured.

Lol also i think wenger would want a lot for him and if hes on the left cutting inside then theres probably better players walsh could find like the left sided mahrez.

@blue61 also it appears that Tom davies is wearing the golden fleece....on his head.

Hypothetically speaking if we could start a midfield 5 of Carvalho, Barkley, Witsel, Mata and Geri (if that's balanced) and everyone settles in fine from the off; quality-wise we are right up there with the Top 5 and way ahead of Liverpool and West Ham etc.

No way are we signing all 3 of those big names.

Chelsea, United, Arsenal, City

We are signing Carvalho, Witsel and Mata?

City of Silva, De Bruyne, Gundogan to name a few is far better than most. Take into account noltio, sane, out wide.

United have pogba, the dortmund fella, sweinsteiger , schniederlain etc

Easily great midfielders.

Good servant but if we get Carvalho in I think Barry will be put out to pasture (or MLS).

Couldn't go far wrong getting Barry on the coaching staff with the kids if he was up for it, when he eventually calls it a day.
