I'd be shocked if we sold Rose. Every summer the papers claim the Manchester clubs are going to buy all of our best players. Those days are over. The players have no incentive to leave for those guys.

I believe that £60m for Rose with Luke Shaw available at £25m would be great business. Shaw is a better defender and offers similar offensive qualities.

Let's be honest with ourselves, only Lloris, Vertonghen, Alderwiereld, Walker, Wanyama, Dembele, Eriksen, Dele and Kane are good enough to finally push for the title.

Dembele by nature of his physique cannot possible last all season without injury, so we probably need a top class CM as well.

LB - Shaw + £35m sounds like a good outcome if the Manchester clubs bought and sold at those prices.

CB - ED has rumoured Lejeune interest which sounds fantastic because Dier need to move back to CDM and alternate with Wanyama.

LM - Son is a good squad player but surely not good enough for a serious assault. Eriksen could play in a narrower role with Kane at number 10 in the hole behind a world class striker and Dele on RAM. i would however prefer we bought a world class LM and kept Dele in CAM and perhaps Eriksen on RAM.

CF - Janssen is clearly not good enough. If Man City want Rose so badly what about the lowly paid and forgotten Iheanacho. Never going to get a game with a Aguero and the emerging brilliance of Jesus.

The truth is we are not far away, but the payers needed now are those above what we have. Lukaku is probably overpriced and Mousa Dembele Celtic may make more sense albeit risky.

With Sunderland certain for relegation perhaps Defoe can offer us the cover next season on a 2 year contract. An amazing player who roved he still has the skills to be a fantastic squad addition.

I think it'd be a huge mistake to let Rose go.

On paper it looks a good deal for us financially, but on the pitch where it matters its a very bad deal for us, quality players playing well win games, not millions tucked away in the new stadium fund if that's to be believed, COYS.

Luke Shaw has potential, however there is not a better left back currently playing in the premier league, and as much potential that Shaw has, why would we want to get rid of a currently better player and strengthen a top 4/ title rival just for the sake of a few million quid. A very silly move IMO. Why not sell Davies for £15m along with a bit of deadwood, like GK N'Koudou, Lamela, Wimmer and Onamah (maybe, he seems to have stopped progressing) potentially Janssen, (although I am still convinced he will come good) , Vorm, and Sissoko + loan players

Hopefully claw in around £60m cash plus a player or 2 swap deals and buy Luke Shaw + others.

For me Swap -
Sissoko for Barkley.
Lamela swap with Italian club for 1 of about 5 rumoured players.

Sell -
Davies - £15m
Wimmer - £8m
Vorm - £2m
Onamah - £3m
Janssen - £15m (If he goes)
GK N'Koudou - £5m
Fazio - £8m (having a very good season in Italy)
N'jie - £5m (Hopefully)

Total circa - £61m
Add a bit to this money to buy 3-5 class players in the GK, CF, Wing and CB and LB positions + the 2 swap deals, promote CCV and Edwards to 1st team hopefully would push us on, but this isn't Football manager and things don't work that easily. Either way it is going to be an interesting end to this Season and an even more interesting close season transfer window. 10 out potentially 9 in with upgrades on squad.

Ideally I would like-

Wimmer - out - Maguire - in
Davies - out - Shaw - in
Sissoko - out - Barkley - in
Lamela - out - El Shaarawy (or someone of this type) - in
Vorm - out - Lopez - in
N'jie/ N'Koudou - out - Zaha - in and Promote Edwards
Fazio - out - promote CCV
Onamah - out
Janssen - if he goes - Not sure who to bring ingas not many quality strikers will want to play 2nd fiddle to Kane


COYS.

Wirral i think you should go to A&E instead of waiting until Monday!

Letting Rose go would be catastrophic.

Onomah is one of the best performers in training, he just needs to translate this to whenever he plays.

El Shaarawy for Lamela! No thanks.

N'koudou i would keep, great potential but i've heard he has been caught going to McDonald's late at night a few times now and has had words with Pochettino.

I'd bring back Defoe. Enough games for him to still get a look in.
