Rafinha for Ox would be fine by me.

His price would have risen as a result of the Cup - we may do better to look to the likes of Milinkovic-Savic or perhaps even Kondogbia?

C'mon Anzac, it's not 2015  ;D

He's been a near bust at Inter and is regularly critiqued for not having any positional sense/discipline....not quite the player I'd want in our squad. Him and Xhaka as a CM pairing would be blah.

I just used Kondogbia because AW was after him from Monaco when he went to Inter, and Inter are also rebuilding so he may be available as one of AW' bargain opportunities.
TBH I'd prefer we signed Lemina / Rabiot.

Lemina's agent seems to have offered him around with none of the bigger clubs interested. He's probably not good enough for us either.

That would be good business. Don't understand the rumours that Ox wants to go to Chelsea though. He definitely won't play in central midfield there either. 

A move that would make zero sense for Madrid. Wonderful player

Real aren't going to sell off a young homegrown player who has the potential to become a world class attacker.

He's been a first team player so probably wants the wages to match. This will be his agent working

Links to William Carvalho. Might be looking to play him as a sweeper.

what?

He is the modern Hatem Trabelsi.

Asensio is total houseboat stuff.

Those would be a decent haul.....

Agreed that Asensio is massive houseboat, at this point Bale is more likely to move.

Would you take bale? I always thought he would be an arsene Wenger type forward and at the prices quoted for others we could do.worse.

Too injury prone. We aren't in a position to be spending that much money on someone who isn't likely to be able to play 50 games a season. Great player though.

It'd be worth it just for the rage of the Tottenham supporters.
