If we sign Bale we will not be able to afford Cavani or Falcao as well people.
We have to think of financial fairplay and spending over 75m on 2 players is not the way to stay financially stable.
Bring in Bale and the goals will start flowing from Dzeko, even more than they have recently, that's all Dzeko needs: a quality winger with pace who can put in a good cross.
Throw in Fernandinho in central midfield to add some pace to the center and there you go. Seems like we will make one marquee signing this summer. Cavani is incredible but Bale would give us a goal threat from midfield, improve set-pieces, his crossing would help to break through the buses and he would bring out the best in Dzeko, making Cavani unnecessary.
i am sick to death of people saying with a winger Dzeko will be a goal machine. He wont! I hope he leaves in the summer, not suited to our style of play and has the touch of a rapist.
If we sold for £20M, + the £24M (or whatever it was) for Balo, the net spend on cavani would be no more than £10M.
Taking into account the wages that will come off the books this summer e.g Bridge, Kolo, Cruz (maybe tevez) Kolarov, maicon etc then you will be saving SO much on wages per week.
I think we could afford Cavani + another marquee signing such as Bale.
I would like to see us sign a Centre Mid, Striker, Winger and a Centre Back.
Centre mid - Maybe someone like fernandinho or Paulinho, both got engines and would be the 'Work horse' of the team.
Striker - Only a couple of options for me Falcao or Cavani. The most clinical and prolific no9's in europe / the world.
Winger - this is a must! Someone like bale would be my dream signing but would cost £45M+. Di maria could be on his way out of RM to make room for Bale (if they go for him), £20M could tempt him away, and with Zaba, Aguero + maybe tevez being here then he shouldnt have too much problems settling in.
Centre back - Its a tough one, maybe N'Kolou (sp) from OM as hes gonna one of the best in a few years. Or Marqinho from roma, however neither have much experience so whoever is boss might want to bring in a 26/27 year old who has been in the game for a few years.
who i'd want / think will leave -
Bridge, Santa, Kolo (out of contract)
Maicon
Kolarov
Lescott
Garcia
Barry
Sinclair
Nasri
Dzeko
Tevez
Just from what i think they're on thats a saving of £1.25M a week!!!!
Just my thoughts anyway.
