If we can't afford one £40m player we can't afford two £25m players :shrug:
We're not City or Chelsea, we can't go too nuts.
I don't want Suarez for the reasons you mention but at least it would show some intent.
We have got rid of some dead wood, I don't believe we'll start the season with a squad this thin so I have to believe we're going to do something, but we can't afford 3-4 really big signings. One would at least show we're starting to show more ambition though.

We can afford a 40 million pound player, however signing him would basically kill our chances of signing anyone else who is decent. Would rather we bought 3-4 players. Maybe one for 20-25 million player and maybe a couple more at 10-15 million.

I just think effectively blowing £75 million on one player is stupid unless the player is truly something special with huge marketing potential which would let you recoup much of that from his image (Neymar for example).

Suarez, Cesc, Bernard, Pele and Beckenbauer. All unveiled on friday.

I'm not sure what sort of players we'd get for that these days though.
The market is so crazily inflated, aren't we going to have to spend silly money to get a marquee signing?

Falco, Lewandowski, Muniain all better options for similar amount tbh, without the baggage and 6 game suspension.

munian and lewandowski don't want to go to a club that competes for trophies though falcao clearly doesn't care

what can 10- 15mil get us? not sure, does anyone think we will spend more than 70mil this summer?

40mil suarez, 20mil bernard ,23 felani, using the gervinho money to fund the deals

Muniain isn't anywhere near a forward/striker and Falcao went to Monaco. :unsure:

He might have a six game suspension but he'd be fresh for the CL qualifying games!
