That's a really good spot fella, maybe someone from the academy could go in the opposite direction on loan, so no fee at all. It would really depend on how much game time Barkley wants, he may be happy to stay as Luton's main man, as oppose to a squady for us.
Anything along these lines is preferable to the £100m !!! spent on Nunes and Philips. Thankfully Gvardiol looks like a diamond and Doku potentially could go up a couple of levels and be a Cat A starter. We have to do even more due diligence on these £50M plus transfers, I know other clubs have wasted tons and its not easy but this next window Txiki has got to get it right....
