I am NOT happy with our realistic options if Martial is sold

I dont trust Belotti will come good, and Werner is a roll of the dice at this point.

That leaves only Icardi (I hope not a pipe dream but probably) or Ciro Immobile (who gain, to repeat, turns 30 less than 6 months after the window closes next summer AND if really unlikely to leave Lazio, especially when they sell SMS next year)

I rate Dybala over Icardi, but he is more of a secondary striker, and also,its fucking Juve, AND is he really going to leave playing with CR7 and the rest of that monster squad IF Hazard leaves???

NONE of those ten speculative I listed excites me in the least ATM, save for Lautaro Martínez, and Inter will be LOATHE to sell him as well, they just signed him, and he is their long term future.

We are so fucked if Morata doesn't come good. Its why we didnt sell him. No real options atm, unless we dump out between £125m and £175m and nab Dybala, or Icardi, or Griezamnn, ALL of who dont want to come here are are happy at their current clubs. We need bezos to buy us and just go WILD!! LOLOLOL

Bezos Blues

GK Kepa

CB Varane

CB Koulibaly

RB Sergi Roberto

LB Alaba

DMF Kante

Deep Holding MF Jorginho

CMF/AMF S-M-S

LW Hazard

RW Mbappe

Secondary Striker Dybala

Striker Kane

 

 The new adds would cost £1B or so. Mass sell off at fair but not crazy prices would yield around £350m

total net spend around £650m

Bezos has averaged £215m wealth added per DAY for last 12 months

so 3 days gains pays for best club in world

done and dusted

I am e-mailing Jeff now with the plan!!!

All  this bollox about not being able to buy a winning team. I'd have it a good try with that lot.

Maybe have a word in Jims shell like!

I actually liked the thought of Battersea too as rebuilding the bridge is just so impractical even tho it would be amazing to be able to do it

One say maybe. But right now maybe our priority should be on the pitch.

The stadium will work itself out, agreed, I barely have given it a thought since Roman yanked the plans.

Anthony Martial and Simon Mignolet headline players who wish they'd moved clubs

http://www.espn.com/soccer/english-premier-league/23/blog/post/3623068/anthony-martial-and-simon-mignolet-headline-players-who-wish-theyd-moved-clubs

The summer transfer window has also officially closed in Europe, but there are 10 notable players stuck in the Premier League who might wish they had found a move. Nick Miller runs down those who will be counting down the days until January.

SNIP

4. Victor Moses, MF, Chelsea

If you suggest footballers deserve sympathy, then you'll frequently get quite short shrift, but sometimes it is worth dwelling on the fragility of their positions. In Antonio Conte's 3-4-3 system, Victor Moses -- previously a fourth-choice winger -- had carved himself a niche as a wing-back and performed very well in that role. Now, with Mauricio Sarri's 4-3-3, he's back to being that winger behind quite a few other players in the queue for a first-team place. Perhaps this will change. After all, who saw him becoming that wing-back in the first place when Conte arrived? But at the moment, that seems optimistic.

3. Tom Heaton, GK, Burnley

Perhaps they were distracted by the early stages of the Europa League, but Burnley's summer didn't seem to make much sense. They didn't make a signing until the last week of the transfer window, and that was to bring in Joe Hart after Nick Pope suffered an injury. That felt a bit like buying a new shirt because a button fell off an old one, particularly as Tom Heaton was returning from his own injury. That leaves Heaton, who might well have gone to the World Cup had he not missed much of last season, in a curious position: seemingly second-choice now and presumably third when Pope returns. It's possible he could seek to leave in January.

2. Simon Mignolet, GK, Liverpool

Plenty of people on Merseyside were relieved when Loris Karius left for Besiktas on loan, not least Karius himself. This was a chance for reinvention and for the young German to rebuild his shattered confidence. But while he might not have suffered the same cataclysmic single game as Karius, one would imagine Simon Mignolet's self-belief can't be sky-high after spending much of last season on the bench -- where he's now likely to stay, unless something happens to Alisson Becker. "I find it bizarre that Karius was loaned while I also had options to be loaned," he said recently. It's going to be a long few months until the winter window opens.

1. Anthony Martial, FW, Manchester United

In some respects, Anthony Martial is lucky because he has become a much better player when out of the Manchester United first team than in it. He has become something of a cause celebre for Mourinho sceptics, a great lost talent cast aside at the whims of one manager despite rarely achieving his clear potential on the pitch. Also, if the stories about him signing a new contract against Mourinho's wishes are true, then this might have worked quite nicely for Martial. But it's still difficult to escape the feeling that he would be much happier somewhere else. One suspects we'll be revisiting this situation again soon.

Hands up who reckons that Eddie will veto Maureens veto and will come out with a nice long contract!

Or do we think that theres any possibility whatsoever that Granny (as we dont have a DOF) is keeping in touch with Martial - OR even said hello to him - and told him it would be good for both of us if he joined us in the Jan sales!?

Yes of course its the 1st choice! We got good strikers already. Well they've got potential

I so hope Sarri and CFC look at Martial and see a striker for us, a Sarriball weapon, and not just a LW that we do not need as long as we have Eden and CHO.
