Maybe we need to look at other possible targets rather than the ones the press and everyone on here seems obsessed with. If we can't get the main lot then these are all good options in my opinion. I'd be happy with 5 from this lot.

LB - if no Shaw-De Sciglio or Coentroa
CB- if no Hunmels-Chiellini or Vertongan
CDM - If no Carvahlo- Song, Martinez, Gustavo, Bender
CM- if no Kroos - Hamsik, Fabregas, Gundogan, Modric
AM - if no Reus or Robben - El Shaarawy, Di Maria, Moura, Pedro, Draxler

I think any if these would drastically improve us! Let's hope Eoodward delivers this time

I think Shaw will still happen. What about Badstuber? I think he would make an excellent signing. Griezmann should be looked at, Clasie should be looked at as should Koke.

Agree fresh, I think we will get Shaw, Clasie, carvalho and martins indi.

I really want clasie he looks a good player and he seems box to box from wot iv seen of him

Agree with a bunch of those options but definitely not chiellini, he's been playing as part of a back 3 for the past 2-3 seasons (if not longer), think he would struggle in a 2-man CB pairing.

I would deffinitely take Gundogan, Martinez, Fabregas, or Bender over both Kroos and Carvahlo. All great players but Gundogan is probably only bettered by Vidal in cm in my opinion. Martinez is one of the best passers of a ball for a deep lyinng cm. Lars Bender is probably one of the least appreciated players in the german league. Ok we all know who he is but he has such a polished game and would improve our transition from def to att effortlessly.

However I would be very happy with either Kroos or Carvahlo as second/third choice ;)
