Looking for some bargains in this crazy market and those with contracts ending at the end of the season:
Pre-contracts in January?
Messi........sorry just had to point it out
Jose Giminez from Atletico - likely to go to a Utd or City but pretty good from what I've seen of him, he's young, and he has a bit of the Dier flexibility in him in that he can play in midfield or as a RB if needed.
Stefan De Vrij from Lazio - not sure he's the Poch type of defender so not overly keen
Leon Goretzka from Schalke - don't know much about this one but he's young and a German international so I'm guessing he has his uses - anyone got an insight on him?
Max Mayer also form Schalke - I like this kid, saw him in a few U21s for Germany a few years ago and he looked bright. Haven't seen him recently so not sure how he has progressed but very young still and could be an interesting addition to the front 3?
Bernard from Shakhtar - remember him from a few years ago, a fair few on here wanted him. Not sure he adds enough and would personally prefer Mayer but he's available...
also mostly past it or not what we need Joao Moutinho ........Andres Iniesta........Balotelli (just saying).....Robben....Ribery....Hatem Ben Arfa....Kwadwo Asamoah
Interesting how many Prem players are coming to the end of their contracts too, Utd and Arsenal risk losing a fair amount of investment for nothing at the end of the season (not saying we should pick any of them up but you'd think if they wanted rid they would have done more in the past window - this doesn't happen under Levy)
Barkley obviously
Alexis Sanchez - Arsenal
Ozil - Arsenal
Wilshere - Arsenal
Santi Cazorla - Arsenal
Juan Mata - Utd
Andre Herrera - Utd
Daley Blind - Utd
Luke Shaw - Utd
Fellaini - Utd
Fernandinho - City
Emre Can - Liverpool
I would take Iniesta in an heart beat! He's still the best playmaker in the world.
Luke Shaw's extended his contract by a year (http://www.express.co.uk/sport/foot...-United-Luke-Shaw-Contract-Deal-Transfer-News).
