Realistic Transfer Targets

[I Hate Hleb]

Realistically our 'new signings' will be Jack, Abou and now Bacary, with perhaps a couple of the loanees coming back!!!

For the record, I meant "realistic" more so in terms of affordability than likelihood

It disgusts me how we probably could have got guys like Hazard, Goetze, Mata, etc, if we had just put our hand a little deeper in our pocket a year or two ago. Now they're worth 3x as much and will all likely go to superspending clubs (as Mata did).

With Malaga and PSG also now cash-strapped, it just means even more inflation in the world markets, particularly in Spain and France where bargains used to be a little more likely.

Over here, cash-strapped means very poor, mate.

I can see Arsenal trying to keep Yossi Benayoun.

Vertonghen, a new midfield playmaker and some unknown. Midfield playmaker could well be a houeshold name. Joel Campbell will be a squad player, as will Ryo. Frimpong will be in the squad. Wilshere back. Ox will get more games.
