If we could do a stright swap for Pav and Benni I'd take it. Pav has done OK toward the end of the season. But as you say, swap deals never seem to come off.
Ozil looks a good player but i'm sure I heard someone had been after him for a lot more than £8m Be nice if it came off.
BBC website has in the gossip column that someone was going to offer £5m for Noble. If thats all they want for him i'd rather have him than Banega. Young, English, cheaper and has experience of EPL.
Now, don't shoot me for this, but what about Koncheski (spelling?) for LB? He'd be cheap, is English and has one hell of a left boot on him. Always seems quite solid in defense too.
