50 for walker plus the loan deals being completed. Possibly winmer departing and we have rumours over sissoko/Janssen. 90mil sounds a lot but the money is possibly there.
Right now, we're at 70 if we're including Carroll, Bentaleb and Fazio. Wimmer to Saints should net us around 20-25m. Sissoko hopefully going on a perm should give us around 10-15m(if Levy is willing to take that much of a loss on him). Thats about 100-110m right there give or take. I doubt Vince will leave. We'll have money to spend but the question is, how much of it will we use? We might have around 20-30m left after Sanchez, Barkley, Diop and Gazzanigga.

We might also have some cash coming in from sell on fees from Siggy and potentially Pauilinho and Chadli if we stuck one one.

Aurier not happening, no bid for RS, BKD unfortunately not happening which is frustrating.
We are looking at wing forwards but the club is calm and things are starting to move. I would be stunned if DS doesn't get done but we have been there before,
RB Has agreed PT for sometime again this may be last minute, diop.... This has come from knowhere and I have no clue on that link.

KWP is a FB in the mould of Stevie Carr, always looking to get on the ball and help link up attacks. But I don't think he's ever going to be built like Carr was.

In fact, one of KWP's strengths is his agility and ability to turn on a sixpence, which could be diminished if he bulks up too much.

If we do sign Aurier, then I suspect he and Trippier will rotate at RB for the rest of the season, and Poch will have a decision to make as to how to ensure KWP continues to develop and progress.
I loved Carr. Cheers for the info, @yanno.

Happy to go with Trippier and KWP personally.

Same, and there is January transfer window if they are not good enough somehow, plus Dier and Toby could cover that position for a while. Also I really don't rate Aurier even if his character was perfect.

You know what if we have a situation where it was either a RB or a quality left winger then I'd take the winger. I reckon we might just be alright with KWP. And in emergencies we can play 352 with Sissoko on the right side who will probably do a job there like he did at Leicester last season.

Obviously I'd still like us to get both but without getting carried away KWP has been impressive so far and we really need depth in attack when the games come thick and fast.

I agree, yet watching the newcastle game we badly missed the width provided by Trippier. Davies has come on leaps but still needs to provide a few crosses. Compared to the end of last season - last 4-5 games - i think we missed it. All for KWP if Poch can improve his wing play.

Personally don't think Aurier has any more end product than Walker. Onions.

By the sounds of it, according to AliZ we'll get Sanchez, Diop, Gazzaniga and then Barkley.
I wonder if that's based solely on current state though. Purchases based off the back of Walker sale, plus rumoured imminent Wimmer fee and potential Sigurdsson sell on fee.
However, should Sissoko be sold, I wonder if we'll then go in for a RB instead of a like for like attacking midfielder.

It's a bit perplexing; Sanchez is a potentially awesome signing but he is replacing Wimmer. Diop comes out the blue and one for the future. Barkley will be decent, Gazza a practical necessity. We are possibly covered in RB this year but we really need some decent zip out wide. Given that we apparently spent a long time chasing Balde, I would hope we continue to address this gap before the end of the window

I think we will. Apart from AliZ (strong source) there's a lot of talk around those two positions. I imagine the club are very fluid.

I'd prefer a Pereria type RWB in the squad, someone who could potentially cover RWB, LWB and also RW. Selling Sissoko would effectively pay for him, and Pereira could cover Sissoko's role as RW, and also Walker's role at RWB, plus as a LWB he'd free Davies up to cover LCB if required. Covering all those positions, would still leave a need, and opportunities, for Walker-Peters.
That's why I wonder if they are related. While Sissoko stays, there will be no room for a RB, but if he goes, RB suddenly becomes a possibility.

Your thoughtful, wise musings are at odds with your avatar. I like that

This one is starting to feel like an agent pushing a story to me... haven't seen anything yet to make me think we are truly interested.
