Not happy with the rumours for Mandzukic or Lavezzi...sure we can do better...

To be fair we're going to be linked with every striker and their brothers until we have actually found someone.

[yuvala 2,167]

Sell Hazard and use that money to sign Cavani+Vidal+Gritzeman? Yh I would do that. If it means we get around £150m for him.

I would definately not.

[LAM09 6,744]

Surely somebody has the balls to tell Roman this is stupid.

I would like to think so!

One of biggest mistakes we made was not bringing Cabaye in january. Yes, we bought Matic, but could easily gone after Cabaye too as he was available. Add not bringing Cavani in summer...

Great player, in prime, experienced, top FK/corner specialist, hard worker, creative, big friend with Eden.

Now, I dont see any realy good CM being available; Gundogan is injured, Kroos wont go and he isnt realy suited for us, Vidal wont leave Juve, Pogba will cost 60mio, Strootman is injured,...

He is better than what we currently have.

Sadly, this is not a very difficult feat.

Koke/Witsel/Rakitic/Kovacic/Pjanic are also very good options imo

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Rakitic is the best option imo.

Rakitic is the best option imo.

how much do u reckon he ll cost?

any chance of a marin + cash deal since marin has been a first team player for almost every game he has been fit?

His current release clause is set at 40m€ but he is in talks of signing a new contract with a lowered release clause of 25€ so no need of player pus cash deals.

thats weird. why would they lower his release clause?

It is a common practice in Spain.Rakitic in the summer will just have a year left on his contract so as time passes Seville will have less leverage and no team will pay the 40m release clause.If he signs the new contract then Seville make sure that he does not leave on a cut price deal in the future and Rakitic also knows that he can move whenever he wants because of the lowered release clause(20m pounds is pretty reasonable for a player of his quality).Win-win for both parties.

Very true, but IMO he would be a good addition.

We already own half of Markovic so it wouldn't be too difficult. Better than letting the Spurs or Liverpool get him. Would Mouinho play him as a striker, we already have Schurrle?

I'm still sure we need to scoop up Mateo Kovacic, he's not the finished product yet but to have him playing behind hazard would be something to watch. He did really well against the Spurs last year so they're watching for sure and apparently Liverpool are interested with an 8m bid. I like diamonds in the rough and this one has tremendous potential.

[iseah100 5,612]

Dont forget Bale was left winger too, but he converted himself in RW pretty well. Think Reus is intelligent and skillful enough to turn into RW. Not to forget, he already was playing RW several times and constantly changes wings in bvb.

If not Reus then Vela, Di Maria, Lucas,...

Imo Vela despite Arsenal history would be realy good bet, he can score, assist, dribble, and looks he got mature in spain.

What Mou should look besides striker, cm and lb is AM who can score goals.

Not Lucas. Vela is a beast, I've seen him a ton and he is the real deal. Surprised there's not more rumors about him moving. He can also play CF. But I WANT COSTA!!!!

Why not both Costa and Vela

With all the possible sales including Luiz and Lukaku who might leave, we will have more than enough money to get four players in summer (LB, CM, ST and possibly AM)
