Ths could be a BS

But Spanish media says

Cadena Cope: "Bale's agent has confirmed them that Lamela HAS SIGNED 100% done deal and now we're trying for Hulk & Arda Turan.


Hmm... Well, it'd make for a bananas 3 behind the striker.

Soldado​
Hulk (Chadli)--Turan (Holtby)--Lamela (Townsend)​
Sandro (Capoue)--Paulinho (Dembele)​
That would be incredible. Turan would cost around £21m and Hulk £30m though.​

Most likely it'd be Turan on the left, Lamela in the middle and Hulk on the right. Turan and Hulk are comfortable on those sides of the pitch and Lamela is a natural #10.

Arda would be immense!!!

Oh boy i wish this happens.


Turan and Lamela in the squad would equate to us saying goodbye to creativity issues. That being said, Chadli has been our leading chance creator so far and I love what he has shown despite still building up confidence within this league.

We might be interested in both but surely they would be plan A and plan B - we wouldn't sign both of them, would we?

I'd rather Turan than Hulk, tbh.

Yes please to Turan and Lamela, both wings covered then with good depth on each side and they would bring the creative edge we are lacking.

BIG TIME!!

Especially with arda. His creativity is second to none.

Watched both of his last 2 games against Real Madrid and Real Vallecano the other day.

He has it all. Very very similar to willian but also works for the team aswell. Has excellent ball control and great passing range.

I dont know if athletico would want to sell one of there star players however!!

Can't see us going for Hulk and Turan in addition to Lamela.

I'd say it would be either or...surely?

Turan would be eminently more doable as well I would of thought.

If we met the buyout clause and he wanted to come, they might not have a choice in the matter.

They're struggling financially too, aren't they?

We need someone other than him to play on the left though (I think Townsend is best left on the right cutting in, and don't rate any of the other 'options' in the squad who play there), Turan can compete with him and also in certain games we could play 4-2-3-1 and play all three.

Yeah, you've got a point. We could even opt for a Chadli-Turan-Lamela 3 behind the striker.

When The Levy is angry (and has tons of cash), no one knows what will happen.

Such different players though.
Hulk pacey and direct
Arda slow but terribly skilful and great vision.

and why exactly would we share with Bale's agents our plans for other targets if Bale is not going to be on the team?

Honestly never seen him play. If Snarf thinks he's good enough them I'm convinced. I'd also want the deal to go through because the bin dippers were on about him on RAWK a few days ago ;)
