Di Maria might be available, it's well known he is not happy warming the bench at Real Madrid. No way we will get Reus in mid season, he will probably be going to Barcelona anyway. :coffee:

I thought we played pretty well in the first half, we dominated it but failed to take our chances.
Whilst I agree that we lack a killer instinct to win PL I do believe this squad is better than the last few seasons, possibly on par with the 10/11 squad.
I personally think we'll finish 3rd behind Man City and Liverpool.
Having said that, I'm not going to say no to someone like Reus who I think is a special talent but obviously he'd come at some cost.
A forward of the quality we are talking about isn't going to be easy, which is one of the many reasons I like the idea of signing Costa.
I like the Italian Bergkamp (forgive me!) Giuseppe Rossi who is a very dexterous player, with a fantastic touch and can obviously score a goal himself. He isn't the biggest player but I reckon he would make up for it with his clever play.
I would still be keen to test the waters with Lewandowski. What do we have to lose? Long term wise I would like us to keep an eye on the progression of the Belgium two too.
I don't know anything about the Anderlecht dude.... what's his name?
The answer is Draxler.
So? Get him in the summer, then.
I think that is debatable. Having said that, you always make room for exceptional quality in a squad I believe.
In regards to the quality we are talking about if it is a question of 40 million on a wide man or 40 million on a forward then it is an easy choice for me.
That is since, most of us believe we will not spend 40 million on two individual players, neither do I think we need to unless they are both of a quality which is quite exceptional.
