Completely irrelevant , ba would guarantee between 10-15 goals a season and would suite the way we play , with the new TV deal kicking in after next season , we would be looking at 100 million+ from TV rights , and that's if we came 20th , the fee and wages are peanuts in comparison if we stay where we are for the next few years.

Yep, it opened in Europe on 9th June, to add to that "there is nothing stopping a club signing a player" Stoke have already signed two players, Liverpool have already secured Ings, Milner, and Bogdan, Man U Depay, Swansea Ayew, Everton Cleverley, West Ham Obiang, the list goes on. Although those players have been registered they wont be ratified until 1st July, they are still signed as at least 5 have received International clearance, which is needed before they can sign.

I think we have to remember the strength in depth thing here too. Lots of people saying the word "replace" but if you look at the teams above us they not only have a great first 11 but the bench is strong too. Imagine having Murray on the pitch and the being able to bring on ba (or visa versa) or having puncheon on and bringing on cabaye? A lot of the time our bench looked a little weak but if we can bring in players without losing any we would have definitely moved up a level. It then falls on to AP to rotate the squad well enough to keep players happy and also gives us great cover for injuries. Maybe replace is the right word but we are thinking the wrong players. How about replace Campbell with ba?
