That's a lot of eggs to put in one basket but realistically who else could we get at this stage? Leaving it so late and after the bad start clubs know we're pretty desperate and are going to ramp up asking prices.

Oh my sweet lord, please give us Angel di Maria #7. He's probably worth £45-50m after last season and a high wage would be understandable in enticing him.
Sport1 is a smallish TV channel, I knew they weren't reliable. But Bild have also reported Benatia to Bayern, so let's see.
I'd imagine that includes his wages.
So , o jogo says rojo is a go go and not a no no !
And our captain can play CB.
You forgot the captain...
Bingo.
We would still need a top class centre mid though imo.
No idea what that is but I'm sorry for being sensible/playing devil's advocate to the hysteria.All i can think of whenever i read your posts is -
Di Maria's obviously a cracking player and I'd obviously love if we got him but you'd hope it's not a case of buying him instead of a midfielder, as I think we need the latter more. Plus, I may be wrong, but if we buy Di Maria aren't we likely to go to 433 anyway, which might affect the players we're after otherwise.
@RetroStuPessimists.
Di Maria would just be perfect for the team.
And if for nothing else, it would change the mood that's hanging around at the moment

To be fair, he probably is the best centre back at the club at the moment.
( isn't he supposed to be the best keeper when they mess about in training?)
We're not going to get those two anyway. If we did get Di Maria, which is unlikely, there's practically no chance of Vidal. No chance we're making two mega signings in one window.
We've never made one as expensive before, nevermind getting two.
God, this is the dream and what some of us were hoping for at the start of the summer. Where is that war chest?
As great a signing as it would be, we still need a CM and CB arguably more.
Says in the article that LVG has told Ed he needs a CB and CM, as well as mentioning Di Maria. Hopefully it wouldn't affect any plans to improve, what is quite obviously, our glaring weak spot
The holding midfielder will be Blind, you'd imagine. I don't think that really describes Vidal.
RVP will be captain before seasons end
From rock bottem to sky high in the space of half an hour.If I wasn't one myself I would find you muppets very entertaining.

Probably, I'd quite like Blind myself.
It doesn't describe Mr. Wussy Blind either.
It's unbelievable we've left it so late again. We still need 3 signings.
If we get those deals done I dont care if its going to be late or not.
Right, I'm off!
I fully expect to login tomorrow and see that we've reached page 1000 after we sign somebody.

It could be but personally I think it'll be someone else now. I think the approach for Blind would have been made by now if we were interested.
No chance of Rooney being dropped
'Holding' midfielder sounds interesting, as we haven't been linked with a specific #6 thus far. This is promising though, as it is what we need. I just hope it isn't De Jong...
De Jong would be a billion star buy... exactly what we need...
But I think it might be William Carvalho...
I wouldn't mind De Jong or Blind now tbh
It's just set up for us to buy De Jong on the last day of the window.
Would welcome De Jong with open arms, a bit of steel in the midfield finally, and a good cheap bridging player until Strootman arrives.
I want Vidal and Di Maria !
The inevitability that some people treat this with just makes me laugh.
A month ago i was like 'god no' but now i would take him in a heartbeat. God our transfer windows really are something else.
