I think Can and Markovic (if he signs) will surprise many people. But yeah we need better than Davies and Bony - Davies for me is an unknown, I didn't pay any attention to if he was any good, I just watched games and barely noticed him.... Very odd if we end up with him!!
We should offer a large chunk of that money perhaps 30m to really test Everton for Barkley - we have had toffees play for us successfully in the past - why not him?
I will justify a £50m bid only on Pogba and James, but we already have Coutiho, LAllana, Sterling and Suso in that position
Barkley won't be going anywhere unless the offer is absolutely too good to refuse and we offer him big wages. Long term investment though, as he would become our Gerrard replacement. I'd love it to happen, but it never will - not yet anyway
Pogba I'd go as high as 40mil. But James??? One great tournament and everyone is ****ing over him. He need's to show he can consistently deliver for a fee of around 50mil.
Davies is ok, wouldn't rate him above Kelly when he finally gets his **** together though which should tell you enough.
James has actually been playing well for a few years now which is why Monaco spend so much on him. He's a great player who can still improve.
I have issues with Pogba. I didnt like his attitude in these world cup games. He's can be a fantastic player but he also seems to mope around a lot when things dont go his way. - I'm all for signing a playmaker who plays in the front three and a striker. Lets build strength, depth and flexibility. James-Sturridge-Sterling Lallana-Higuain-Markovic -------Coutinho ---Higuian---Sturidge -------Sterling ---Higuian---Sturridge Plus Lambert and Borini as some thing different. - Ok I picked a dream and unlikely striker in Higuian and playmaker in James. Swap in who ever you expect.
I remember when Bojan was one of the hottest prospects coming through and a lot of top teams were interested...seems he's fallen back a bit.
