Maddison would be more suitable as a creative midfielder?
Or Timo up front with Bobby pushed back? Son could cover the flanks.
Any 2 of these 3 would be lovely!
But we have bills to pay, probably unless we sell we will not buy anybody above 35m.
If we can get the likes of Werner for £35m to £40m that looks like good business. The standout players in the PL are going to cost £70m to £80m. So that will be the likes of Maddison and possibly even Son at his age. The big signings we have made have generally been good. Jury still out on Keita. Alisson and VVD worth every penny and more.
There are some canny players out there like Werner who has signed a contract with his club in order to get the transfer he wants later down the line. Our profile compared to others is very favourable. RM, Barcelona and Juventus will always be a big draw. Another big CL showing this season with a PL win could see us jump to the top of the list.
I agree we may not buy above £35m unless we sell but if we sell big we will buy big.
