It's Quiet - a new dawn

If reports are true that Delph's move to Stoke and Bony's to Swansea have fallen through then that's about £25m less in the kitty than we anticipated.

This is why what we pay for a player does matter both in a transfer fee and wages. There is a budget even though it's not our personal money.

Mangala is still arsing about too.

If these three don't go we will do well to just get Sanchez.

Not sure. No specific reasons given. They probably just watched one of his Stoke performances.

Trying to get my head round who would be a back up option to Wilfried Bony?

Someone terminally ill?

I think Alan Shearer has been hinting at coming out of retirement.

Well, after reading up on Hellas Verona, I'm not sure that we'll be seeing Bony again...

I was thinking the same mate....cant see Arsenal finding a replacement this late in the window. It would seem we also waiting to ship out Mangala before signing Evans, so not sure that will end up happening (but that might be a good thing!;)

I would be happy with keeping Mangala over Evans. Left footed with pace and can cover LB. Its what we need as last ditch cover if we have an injury crisis...for a player who probably will get very few minutes, Mangala is a very good option regardless of whether he fits Pep's system. If we need to rely on him we will be in a injury crisis and a big strong bastard who can play defense would be welcome.

I would not be upset if the knock on effects were Delph gets the 4th HG spot ending our interest in Evans with Mangala staying. Not spending 30 million on Evans would help the tranfer kitty.

It would only be a £7m difference if the Mangala rumour is true.

Being a "big strong bastard" doesn't make you a good footballer. His athleticism is about the only thing he has going for him.

I know but its something and I personally would rather keep Mangala than buy Evans. So win win.
