Reading between the lines, i'm assuming we are one of the clubs in for Vidal and Schneiderlin is also on the cards? Maybe i'm adding 2+2 and getting 5 ha.
I think our next signing will be a CB, then schneid and lastly Vidal. I personally think RVP will stay, unless someone who was previously an unrealistic option becomes available(lacazette, Cavani, Higuin etc).
Thoughts lads?

We can't be sure of exactly who we are going for.
But I think our next signing will be Schneiderlin. I then think it will be a centre back, hopefully Sergio Ramos. We will then probably turn our attention to Coleman, unless LVG is happy with Valencia and Varela. Then hopefully Vidal. I don't think we will manage to get another forward, but if we get Coleman, Sergio Ramos, Schneiderlin and Vidal we would be sweet, as well as a new keeper. There is too much to do to sign a top forward as well I would think.

Think Schneiderlin will come to us, Vidal will end up at Madrid, hoping we sort something out for Ramos but not going to hold my breath.
As for RVP it looks like they are looking to get another striker in so i think he will be on his way soon.

I think coleman is nailed on tbh, forgot to put that in the OP. Coleman will probs arrive later on in the window. I can't see LVG going for a keeper, i can see him sticking with Valdes and possibly look again in Jan. Would love De Gea to stay and tbh, i'd keep him for that extra year and let him go for free than sell him for less than £20m. Looking at the posts ed002 put in january, we may still have interest in Joel Veltman, Kongolo or Hummells(done to death) for the CB options. None of the eds have actually said Otamendi is a target have they?

Lyon would accept a significant bid for lacazette and with City having their FFP issues, Chelsea playing 1 which is Costa perhaps we should strike while the iron is hot.
If arsenal signed lacazette and Carvalho this summer they'll take some beating.
02 Jul 2015 12:09:53
Lyon said they will only listen to offers from £22m and up? We should bid £24m for Lacazette and I'd say that'd be a deal! The guys 24 yet to peek and I'd say bargain!
On another note, when Di Maria was at Madrid, even though he's left footed, he's better on the right side, Depay, Lacazette Di Maria front three scary thought!
Or, if Di Maria goes to PSG, Felipe Anderson HAS to be brought in!

Lacazette is a no brainer but I don't believe that Lyon would take anything less than £30 million.
02 Jul 2015 12:51:11
Reports say minimum £22m? Although he is worthy of a '£30m price tag due to his age? But I'd say go with £22m if it's rejected we know where we'll stand! But I would say they'd snap our hands off at £25m!

Ronnie,
I am unsure it is that simple, do we then kipnap the player?
02 Jul 2015 14:19:00
Hold him to ransom until he signs or pull the trigger and move on, I know some dodgy characters, I'll get them involved! Haha!
Away from Lacazette, what is Shaquiri doing signing for Stoke!?
That's why ANYTHING is possible!
02 Jul 2015 14:50:30
pull the trigger and move haha, awesome
02 Jul 2015 20:20:56
Ronnie you ask why shaquiri is potentially joining stoke and in my opinion its due to the pl rights. There is lots of money swilling around due to this cash influx and i can see this making the pl very interesting as a lot of clubs will have injections of quality bought this year. I think there will be lots of points dropped against the so called lesser sides.

Doesnt it ed i didn't know and assumed it was this year as clubs are being linked with players you wouldn't assume they could entice. Thanks for the info though as its always good to know the right facts.
{Ed007's Note - I know what you're saying mate and I actually went and double checked before answering you as I had never thought about it that way.}
