seems ali z has heard a sum but not a name: What CM are in the 50 m bracket that fit our style ?
I was thinking Savic, Rabiot or Gomes, have no name yet hence the question.

Savic would be more like 70 mil I would guess, maybe more but I don’t know his contract situation. Gomes would not at all command a fee that big. Rabiot has only a year left on his contract so doubt he would cost that sort of money, but PSG won’t want to sell as I’m sure they still want to persuade him to stay. I have zero clue who we are after for CM but I doubt it’s one of those three. Would absolutely kill for Savic tho. He is an incredible player with such a high ceiling and now that Lazio have missed out on CL he will most likely leave this summer.

Gomes ain't worth that I doubt. I would look in the Italian League or Top teams in Germany as stated by Hercules before

whos this gomes? i cant think of any other than heurelio

 

[Ghost Hardware]

I'm wondering about Bayern.

Would link in with Herc’s two from Germany thing. But with them having a new manager I doubt he will be aiming to shift anyone one.

Andres Gomes at Barca seems the most likely suspect but I hope we're not paying 50m for him...

Andre Gomes..Barca fans hate him and I really doubt anyone would even be happy to pay 25m for him

Andre Gomes from Barca

 

[dovahkiin]

ahh yeah him...doesent sound like a 50m player

 

[Westmorlandspur]

Barcelona..Portuguese player Not a starter for them

 

[Indisguise]

I have a sneaky little suspicion it might be Rabiot.

if we loose Dembele, Toby and Vic, that’s three first team players we will have to replace before we even get to strengthening the overall squad. That’s a lot of new players to integrate for next season in a World Up year.

Suffers with depression and has fallen out of love with football.

Great work @dovahkiin

Interesting ITK.

I doubt it's Savic though, Herc already stated he's out of our price range. I expect him to go for 70m to United or someone.
Rabiot would be incredible but again I can't see it. Don't want to start guessing though.
Although 50m sounds like it's a relatively big player.

Hope Rose has a solid WC and we get him back to his best next season - save us the funds to spend elsewhere.

Bale stories - won't take them in just yet.

De Ligt is Toby
The CM is for Dembele
Wanyama not sure
There is a guy in Germany who would demand a £50m area fee but he don't play for Bayern or Dortmund.

Seems like a perfect fit for West Ham then

 

[rossdapep]

Re: Wanyama - disappointing if he's been considered to let go. BUT could be part of Poch's 'crazy plans', perhaps he wants to exchange Dembele and Wanyama for a player who does what both of them do combined whilst being a player who can take us to the next level.

How do you know he doesn’t play for BVB or BM? Did I miss something?
We will still need a back up/rotation striker and a back up keeper. That could be 5 new players. Maybe more.

I wouldn't advocate anyone with depression to go there!!

Wanyama is ‘if!’ We get s very good offer. Something has to give.

Can't see that then. Which is fine by me as I like him.
