A signing "out of the blue"

[Xaviesta]

We should just buy Iturraspe. His buyout is €40million & he's 25.
Mata (26), Herrera (24) & Iturraspe (25) would mean our midfield is sorted for the next 5 years.

Do you think he's good enough to justify paying the buyout clause?

God knows if he is actually worth €40mil. If you compare it to other midfield transfers in the past few years then some would make him look worth it (Fernandinho) but others would make it look silly.
Having said that I think he's a really good player & we wouldn't regret signing him.

We've been linked to Carvalho before but then again we've been linked to hundreds of players, I can see us getting Carvalho "out of the blue"

I hope that isnt the marquee signing Woodie was going on about.

I can see us signing someone that we haven't been linked with. The rumours will start and it will be done within a few days, I expect a CB and CM that we previously haven't been linked with massively to be brought in.

The time difference between Herrera being linked THIS summer and him signing was only a few days. Obviously there was massive interest last summer but we got the deal wrapped up pretty quickly this time around.

I'd love Laporte from Bilbao, but if he's going to cost a lot like Herrera did cause Bilbao are so tough then forget it!

Would also like someone from Roma - either Castan or preferably Benatia because they're defence is great. Both unlikely though.

Someone like Alderweireld would be a good buy aswell.

We need a couple of centre backs, is my point!
