In January. You need to fill 2 roles minimum and one HAS to be a CM. Player cannot be cup tied for Europe. Player cannot come on loan. Players that moved in the summer are ineligible. Promotion from within not an option. It can be as many as you like for as little or as much as seems fair.
Diarra - 10 million for DCM ( I don't think he is cup tied but I could be wrong ) Not sure about the other one though but I would probably go for another CM
I think we need a quality CM, id probably wait until next summer though, as the best ones are cup tied. No point buying for the sake of buying. The only player that would fit the bill is Modric, but Spurs want more than 30 million
Tiote or Mulumbu. Reckon the former for around £12m or the latter for around £7m. Both would be (relatively) cheap, proven in the Premier League now and would provide lots of steel and energy. I wouldnt say they are the best out there but for what I just said above and they're the type of players that I think we need, I think it would be an astute buy.
Sorry lads but he has recently signed a 6 year contract. Looking at 25 million at the very least as without him, I think we would be flirting with relegation!
