I agree, one hell of a team.

Where the fuck did £38m for Draxler come from? :P He's good but not that good ;)

Reckon we should break the bank for either him or Reus but Reus is a little unrealistic till maybe next season (buyout clause). He's the next thing in Germany and he's well suited to the premier league plus he wants to play here. He's only just signed a new deal about a month back but the Schalke president has come out and said he wouldn't stand in his way if a big club came in for him. (inviting bids possibly)

That squad is light in strikers for a team with two forwards up top. And Lewandowski won't come, it's Bayern this summer or next summer. But it's Bayern for him.

Tévez replacement ought to be Jovetic, for me. Versatility means he can either play just behind Kun or on the left of the three in attacking midfield. Think that may be his proffered position.

The Pepe links are quite frequent, even if the figures seem well off the mark. I think that could be a goer at the right price.
Rotate with Nastasic who, although supremely talented, can't be thrown in at the deep end each week as we saw his form dip towards the end of last season. Perhaps a little tired.
Though, Lescott could stay. Who knows.

Outside of the above two, we'd have to wait and see who leaves. I've suggested him before but Neil Taylor as Kolarov's replacement could be an astute signing, imo.

If we're looking to replace Garcia and/or Barry then the kid Illarramendi at Sociedad would be superb if they were willing to sell.
..........................Hart.....................

Zab.......Kompany....Nasti/Pepe...Clichy

...............Yaya.....Fernandinho..........

Navas...............Silva.............Jovetic

......................Aguero......................

Think Dzeko could score a lot in the above formation too. Guidetti would get a few too were he to stay as he flourished in a not dissimilar formation at Feyenoord.

 

[Kompany is King]

How much, would a big club have to bid for Draxler?

Certainly looks a very promising player.

There is much more demand than there is actually quality to get on the market...

The big clubs have new coaches and had a not so successful year. The EPL has new money because of the TV contract...
