If we get rid of world class players and don't replace them with players who are as good, we will decline, if our close rivals strengthen more than us, we risk falling behind.

We seem to be doing just fine with our recruitement wouldn't you say?
This kid wants barca,let them pay massive wages and an obsence agents fee
 
I think we will go for Maguire. TBH, I would be disappointed with him as whenever I have seen him play, he just hasn't impressed. Hope I am wrong though.

De light is the best choice, but not with Raiola. If we give in to the wage demands it could upset the wage structure of the team. Look at United and how the rest of the team look at Sanchez's salary. I don't think we'd be willing to go that route tbh.

Fair point.
But we don't know his wage demands. At the moment it's just media speculation.
Pep has some serious pull with Ajax players. (He is seen as the spirtual successor to Cruyff.)
So does Barcelona mind.

We have had a brilliant season, but we are letting two top class defenders go. We could be massively weaker next season.

I accept De Ligt's first choice is Barca, but he's young enough to give 4-5 years at another club and transfer to Barca later, particularly if it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to play for Pep, the world's best manager. I'm sure VK was on very generous wages, footballers should be paid for their talent, not their age, and De Ligt is exceptional.
 
If we want a bang average homegrown CB why not just go for Nathan Aké? He's left footed like reports said that we wanted and he can play left back. Probably a lot cheaper than maguire, and he's probably tired of being the only defender in Bournemouth capable of defending

I think he will go Barca but let’s throw are hat in the ring anyway

Give our best offer and if it is better than Barca’s who knows.

I would certainly not give Barca a free run at the kid and if we are used and it just helps him get a higher salary etc. Well thats more money on Barca’s wage bill!
