Out: Dani Alves (17mil), Tello (7mil), Song (10mil) - 35mil towards tranfers
In: Suarez (60mil) or Reus (40mil), Benatia (30mil), a tall, strong jack of all trades midfielder (25mil).
Bartra our new starting defensive RB. Mascherano as alternate DM and 4th choice CB. Pique, Benatia, Mascherano and Bartra as the only 4 capable CB is quite thin, but we could do it.
Either 60+30+25-35 = 80mil or 40+30+25-35 = 60mil spent, not counting the obvious fee required for Mats
Seems too simple and good to be true. Reinforce the team really well without going too crazy with spending due to the potential ban.
That's not counting the extra money we could bring in by selling players who will never play for us like JDS, Affelay, Bojan, Cuenca etc If we could afford a younger, very promising CB talent as well I'd be all for it. Someone like Laporte- but he'd cost us easily another 25-30mil.
Suarez won't go for less than 80 mill in this market. Maybe even more (he's worth it).
I can't even start to imagine how on earth Lukaku would fit in our team. His first touch is so embarrasingly bad that it's not even funny.

Yet he can't find a place ahead of Terry and Cahill in Chelsea....
His stats are amazing to be honest compared to other strikers
Good we'll give them Luiz
People are going to be shocked when Luiz goes to Bayern and becomes one of the best CB in the world (I know he is crazy, but I think he is a great CB). I'd gladly take Benatia, don't know if he is fast enough to handle the fastest attack in the world which happens to be RM's though. . . We are really slow in the back line. What happens when Luiz goes to Bayern and Roma says Benatia is not for sale! We'd be royaly screwed then.
Lukaku would be phenomenal although a genuine work in progress type, his potential is off the charts
Why would Mourinho let him go though?
