In this moment... I think...

Bony - Sterling
Delph - De'Michalis - Yaya - Navas
Kolo - Mangala - Otters - Jenkinson
Willy

======
Oh wait!

We changed manager... nevermind.

Which Jenkinson do you speak of, Carl?

 

[COAT_OF_ARMS]

From what I read it seem s like we will play 3 at the back, so this is my dream team:
Denayer, Kompany, Laporte, Otamendi, Mangala, Fernando, Fernandinho, Gundoghan, Kroos, Silva, Nasri, de Bruyne, Sterling, Nacho, Aguero, Insigne.
All realistic targets, about 150m spent. Pogba and Reus are also on the market and would be a dream to get them.
....................Hart.................
Otamendi-Kompany-Laporte
................Gundogan..............
.......Fernandinho......Kroos....
..............de Bruyne................
Sterling........................Insigne
..................Aguero.................

That first XI could be very close to what happens imo, your dreams are not outlandish - I don't think that much will be spent however

Alves off on a free to Juve. Why aren't we in for him?!

De Laurentiis is a hard man to deal with. He will not let Insigne go for less than 60m. He is asking 70m for Higuain, who is almost 30 yo.

Isigne is a good shout. MNot my favorite personally, but he fits the bill.

On a side note, I doubt 3 at the back will be the default formation. More likely than not, he'd just keep some shitty fullbacks, and by 'shitty' I mean Kolarov, and try to make a player out of him.

We'd still play four at the back I believe. I reckon if our only poor ball possessor in the back is Kolarov, we might just get away with it.

I know, I know. Trust me, you don't dislike Kolarov more than I do. But look around honestly, have you seen a single link to Kolarov leaving? I haven't. And that coupled with a dearth of links to leftbacks.... Hmmm, God give me strength, I only see one conclusion here :( I've been pretending not to see it.

It's early days though. Let's hope movement in that area starts soonest.

Alves off on a free to Juve. Why aren't we in for him?!

Coz he is old and spent. We are trying to get younger at fullback, not older.

Spent? He's better than what we currently have! Ha.

Still doesn't mean he is not old and spent. :)
