Can't work out why we're still chasing Alex Sandro. The bloke isn't for sale! How many bids do Juve have to reject alongside their manager repeatedly saying he's not for sale because they've already lost Alves. Let's just move on and buy someone different, there's more than one left full back in the world!
I say go for Ryan Bertrand and VVD double deal from the Saints. If not then someone like Aaron Creswell, I want an English player! Get Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain to compete with Moses at RWB, another central midfielder (not Danny Drinkwater though) and an attacking presence and we'll be fine.
I must say, all these rumours around Gareth Bale - if the guy is available you buy him! We need to add depth to the squad as we're low in numbers, but at the end of the day when Hazard doesn't play we look poor. Bale is world class, fair enough he gets injured a bit but I'd go for him!

If he isn't for sale why hasn't he signed his contract? Think there's a reason for that. regardless of Allegri saying he's not for sale. Said exactly the same about Pogba, Alves, Bonucci 🤔🤔.

Danny Drinkwater bossed the midfield with him and Kante in the middle in Leicesters title winning season, now has champs league experience under his belt and also an England cap. If he's under £30m, I'd say that I wouldn't mind thrashing out a deal for him.

Gareth Bale - wouldn't go anywhere near him. Constantly injured, imagine playing back in the premiership and constantly getting kicked, he's not like Ronaldo with his toughness, he'll be always on the injury table. No from me thanks.

Ryan Bertrand - I'd take him back in a heart beat. Loved the player.

VVD - another towering CB. Wouldn't mind signing this bloke neither, likes to play out from the back, composed and with Liverpool now apparently pulling out the race, I'm hoping we can sort a deal out with the Saints. Will be a tough buy though, as really don't think they want to sell.

Oxlaide-Chamberlain - another one i would take too. Can play a variety of positions and can offer us pace and some sort of defensive cover too. Just not sure if he's an upgrade on Moses.

Cresswell - like him as a player, but for us? I'm not convinced.

Hopefully the transfers kick on this week and can get a few done. Not holding my breath though.

Drinkwater- No, VVD-No, Bertrand-No, Bale-No, AOC-No. Cresswell-No. all of them are £15-20m players and not an improvement on what we have.

in what world is Gareth Bale a 15-20 million pound player some people have seriously short memories. as for VVD he's in the handful of best defenders in our league and would be a useful signing would mean moving Christensen on but a price worth paying I believe.

As for Betrand he's a excellent premiership left back and although not at the level of sandro would clearly improve the left side of our defence coupled with the fact he's English for the quota requirements he would be an excellent alternative to sandro.

I assume you aren't including Bale in the 15-20m price bracket.

Bale is not an improvement on Willian or Pedro.
