That's supposedly his new buyout clause.

Ba situation all over again.

Aranguiz is a decent player, but going from Brazil to England is a massive jump. I don't think he would be the answer.Cesc is the only player we have that can score or assist on a regular basis in that area of the field, but a quality CM/AM signing would change my stance.

In your opinion, but I disagree. Cesc should be playing the #10 role.

I'm surprised there haven't been any concrete rumours about him leaving as of yet. I wonder if he'll stay at Lyon for another season seeing as they're in the CL.

Decent signing, but they have a LOT more work to do to be challenging IMO.

Will be great to see the team in action again. Easy match to start off, but big two to follow afterwards.

I hope he makes an impression at Stoke.

Solid signing for less than £15m.

This tournament only gets interesting after the group stages.

The only winger I want use to sign that is possibly available.

Another player off to Vitesse. At least they'll be in Europe this season.

For someone that's 22 and could be deliver for a period of 10 years?I have to strongly disagree. The market has been inflated for several years now, so that has to be taken into consideration as well.

I don't think that's a crazy valuation to be honest. He's the best young player around ATM.

Another player who has failed to make the grade.

I doubt they want £100m.

Him and Adam in midfield. Things shall be interesting.

He's talking tripe as usual. Some players just perform better for other clubs. Di Maria at Utd could be another name to add to that list.

It was a WC year, so our early business was smart. I agree we need strengthen, but we have until 8th August (when it really matters) to get our business done. I just hope we push the boat out for one marquee signing at the very least.

Cesc is a class above both of them.

He was once great, but has gone down hill quite a bit. Also, I don't rate Sterling either. There's only hype around him because he's English.

Not only is he a good player, but he's also not all about money. The latter is a huge rarity nowadays.

We don't need another squad filler.

He did, but there's probably a clause in it knowing Barca.

£42m is a bit too steep, but £30-35m is what he's worth IMO.
