Hopefully more than two. One to replace walker one to replace wimmer and a midfielder and wing forward that we should have been looking at anyway

But is he suggesting those will be our only incomings?

Wouldn't be surprised, selling Walker for around £50m and adding Pereira and Barkley for around that leaves us with a neutral net spend, which will be negative when Sissoko and Wimmer leave.

Would of thought it would be Barkley and a replacement RB. If Sissoko and Wimmer go we will probably see replacements for them. I don't think Foyth if he signs will be anywhere near the first team. So potentially we could see 3 go and 5 in.

Don't want to derail this thread if it belongs elsewhere, but i'd still expect approx a net spend with 3/4 in as someone stated above (wing forward and wimmer replace as well)

Reads to me that we are holding back the sale of Walker to keep the Barkley price down

From Ghostfarmo FTL, normally reliable
Walker 1000% gone..
Bringing 2 in with that impending sale.
Dier going nowhere.

So, two in based on the sale of Walker. Interesting. Assuming we get £45-50m (ish?), then surely we'd look to sign a replacement RB first.
Putting 2 + 2 together, I'm guessing at Ricardo Pereira, and based on the stories about Barkley being left at home, I reckon that's the two, and both of those would fit in under the Walker fee. I'd expect us to be looking at players of that calibre, to counter the sale of a player like Walker. Selling the best RB in the league, the incoming would have to be of a level that it's not seen as S negative sale, so can't see it being Foyth and Lopez.
Selling Walker, bringing in Pereira and Barkley, that'd be an improvement overall for the sake of the depth/balance of the squad in my eyes. In reality, I may actually prefer Walker to stay, as it'd be a signal that we keep our big players, however '1000% gone' makes me think that ship has sailed, and we'd better look at how to make the best of it. Hopefully whatever is done is sooner rather than later, I'd like to see both potential new players get as much pre-season for intergration as possible.

No matter what we still need a forward ideally with pace. Can't risk another bad Kane injury, relying on jansson clicking.

Not buying another forward would be madness especially playing our home games at Wembley. Will need something different in games

We wouldn't be needing much else after that anyway

Walker for Perreira and Barkley I can live with.

Perreira looks to have great pace and attacking skills, my only worry is he looks a little lightweight.

Barkley will give us depth to go from CL to PL matches, and could be a revelation if Poch can get into his head.

Have been told the same about Walker. This is from one of the players. He is definitely going

The only way we should be willing to "live with" Walker leaving is if Poch has decided that Trippier or incoming RB is better than Walker. If we are selling to raise funds to be able to buy Barkley then I can't live with that.
