Sounds a better investment than Sterling .
No foreign space at the moment until we sell.
Sterling may be expensive but with our HG needs he is worth 40m to us.

So I think we've worked the quota out on the RS thread.
If we're selling Jov and Dzeko as the papers say, we'll have
Aguero, Bony, Silva, Nasri, Navas, Yaya, Dinho, Nando, Kolarov, Mangala, Kompany, MDM, Zaba, Sagna, Willy.
That leaves room for TWO more non HG signings. And a proper alternative to signing sterling with that quota is
Get rid of Willy and replace with HG keeper.
Then sign Pogba, DB, Lacazette.

Has their been any real substance to Lacazette rumours? With it looking like Dzeko and Jovetic going, wonder who we'll target at striker... Its been weirdly quiet on that front.
I'm assuming Iheanacho will be #4, but given the lack of noise I'd imagine that we'll spend whatever we have leftover from our expensive top targets and go for an under the radar, value for money type signing. Maybe a player like Mitrovic or Berardi.
Think it'll develop more as the summer moves on
Lacazette isn't effective enough out wide to be an alternative to Sterling, he's only good enough for where we want to be at #9 or #10.
And you would imagine people who have watched him, & want to sign him, would know this.
But probably saw him collect the ball in a wide position on the youtube highlights.
