Ah yeah... good point. In that case I’d accept 50p and a bunch of grapes

I see that juve want the wolves striker so much that they are willing to offer players and cash. Rugani is rumoured to be one of the players offered. We were supposed to be interested in him last year but maybe they'd accept an offer for Demiral if they want the cash badly enough.

Juve are strapped for cash and have a lot of high earners they can't shift that's why they always want to move players the other way in deals

Another longer term player who I think would be a good addition for our under 23s is Kwame Poku at Colchester. Only 18 years of age and has taken to League Two football well this season, with a good performance as well the other night in the play off first leg vs Exeter to add. 

He’s looking good again today

Probably already been mentioned but I do like Dwight McNeil at Burnley. 

[Blue Collar 61]

If Ndidi and Chilwell are tempted away, I would love LCFC to sign Florian Neuhaus, of Borussia Gladbach. 23 and valued at 18/20 m. The best box to box midfielder  I have seen play this season. A more technical Lampard at his best. There's also their left-back, Ramy Bensebaini.

I know it’s completely unrealistic but I’d somehow overhaul the midfield, box to box midfielders with athletic ability, like Liverpool, Bayern, Atalanta, gladbach etc have. Praet is the only midfielder besides Ndidi that I like but I think the game is going away from a holding midfielder and you now require some quality in possession. 
 

A midfield pivot of Neuhaus-Praet with Barnes in front allowed a free role, with Vardy partnered upfront with a physical presence but also athletic like Edouard, with both drifting out wide creating width.

basically I’d like the 352 that gladbach sometimes play or Atalanta. 

 

I’d love Gosens at lwb whilst signing another quality centre back perhaps a left footed one but unsure who.

I’d like that but take Praet and Barnes out for Ndidi and Maddison. Maybe something like this 

 

Kasper 

 

Evans

Soy 

Malang Sarr/Ben White 

 

Ndidi (holding) 

Ricardo 

Neuhaus 

Maddison (advanced double pivot - like how our midfield three have looked this season) 

Gosens 

 

Vardy 

Edouard

Gabigol. Did only sign a permanent deal with Flamengo on January, mind. Plenty of talent there, maybe moved to Inter too soon.

Talented but think he’d struggle to have much impact in a high pressing side like ours. To be labelled as ‘lazy’, in Serie A especially, is worrying.

Theoretically Brendan seems like someone that would guide him in the right direction. That laziness could be coached out of him, still only 23 - but would be pricey considering Flamengo spent £15m on him 6 months ago. 

It does however raise alarm bells that Inter were quick to get rid.

Ok, to answer the question, I would like us to qualify for the champions league, win the FA Cup and therefore have the pulling power to attract:
 

Elabdellaoui - free RB

Demiral £30m CB

Carvalho - £15m CM

G Bale - Loan RW (name the 9th hole after him at Seagrave as part of the deal)

Mitrovic - £25m FW

 

and obviously keep hold of all our current players which play regularly.
 

We can but dream!

I would be more than happy with that, although I don't think we need the RB.

Perfect heir for Albrighton. Brilliant crossed, tactically aware and probably would suit our style of play better as Marc unfortunately doesn’t have quite the level of technical skill. 
 

Think this is the type of player we need, someone who can stretch the game and go wide. We haven’t had enough width in our play recently, it’s been too much passing through the middle. 
 

Would love it if we could find someone like Lloyd Dyer from somewhere, even if end product isn’t that consistent, someone who can take the ball on the flank and get beyond players, win corners and drag the defence over to create space. 

[Leicester_Loyal 4,860]

McNeil would be a great signing, only 20 years old and English too. Not sure how much he'd cost though, likely to be 25m+ surely? If so we'll probably just go for Ryan Fraser on a free instead.

[Pliskin 2,355]

Calvin Stengs

Myron Bodou

Pedro De La Vega

Renan Lodi

Loic Mbe Soh

[South Shire Fox 248]

Max Aarons and Cantwell when Norwich go down but can see them ending up somewhere like Spurs.

With many pound notes. 

[Silva Fox 744]

Plenty of realistic options from within the PL who would add to our squad, supplemented by a couple of "bigger name" signings from Europe:

 

Ake (Bournemouth)

Mings (Villa)

Aarons (Norwich)

Brookes (B'mouth)

McNeil (Burnley)

Ward-Prowse (S'ton)

Sarr (Watford)

Ings (S'ton)

Connolly (Brighton)

Martinez (Arsenal)
