Honestly even for £50m who could Swansea buy that would replace the set pieces that this garbage squad is going to rely on again?

Barca are still in for Coutinho. I hope they get him as even £80m probably won't let Liverpoo replace him adequately :laugh:

I thought it was a €80m (£72m) bid that was rejected? It was based on that that I picked e.g. £80m. Anyway, even if LFC get £100m or whatever, what would they do with the money?

Ah yeah it was 72. Still, I doubt we will sell him for under 100m. Though that doesnt seem to realistically do much nowadays. Which i personally blame Utd for inflating the player market.

The Guardian are saying that Monaco have denied the deal has been reached, but that its close. This will bring Monaco's player sales above £300m this summer.

Ah yes he's guaranteed to be the new Ronaldo, nothing could go wrong. We know this based on 6 months of great football - in France. Imagine if he flops lol. A €180m flop ftw. :D

Obviously he's as close to a sure thing as an 18 y.o. might get but there are no guarantees

If midfielders and forwards are woth £70-90m then why shouldn't defenders balloon in price too? And if that's the logic then you lot have no say either with the whole di Maria affair, or Pogba. Martial hasn't been great either.
