Kante and Bruno looks like a fantastic combo. Chelsea might sell if we bid a massive 100m, considering he has been playing out of position the whole season. Bruno stats has been amazing this season, his range of passing and ability to score from distance and free kicks are phenomenal. It would be criminal if City would get him for a lowish 50m. We should blow them out of the water with a 100m bid. Also get Rabiot on a free. Gave him 200k. He is class.
We need a proven goalscorer, and there is non better than Lewandowski. Even at his age, we could use him for a couple of season to steady our rebuilding team. Let see if Bayern would take our 80m offer. Then we need a fast RW who could actually dribble past players. Pepe, Sancho, Dybala would be too expensive. Douglas Costa would be a good option at 50m. Blessed with speed and an explosive left foot, he could play both wings with easep.
And now the defence, our achilles. At 25m, Toby is a no brainer. You can't even buy an U21 International player with that price now. His experience in the league would be invaluable to our new team. There ain't many good RB around, names like AWB or Meunier has been mentioned. I would say let's go for Bayern versatile defender Abala since they bought in Pavand and Hernandez for big money already. This boy could cover the whole back 4 and DM positions. Get a cheeky 70m bid in and see if Bayern will bite.
Total in : 420m.
