Ajayi, you are clearly living in dream land. For starters, this season Lucas has been better than he has ever been by nearly every metric. Secondly, you think we'll get Lacazette for 25mil? I'll have what your smoking. Its hard to say given the current market and how desperate the lower clubs are for strikers, but I reckon getting 10mil for Borini is quite optimistic.
Ajayi,the only problem with your post is that it was merely optimistic. Atleast it wasn't totally moronic like GeorgeReds's;
Skrtel Lucas, Lovren and Allen out? Maybe one of them, but I'd rather none of them left. Lovren's value is at its lowest and I honestly believe that he can be a decent squad player for us in the future. Skrtel is immense - an excellent player so George can go to F**k there. Ditto Lucas. Allen is a very useful player and worth having in the squad. A better box-to-box player than Lucas, and a better DM than Henderson. Utility. That said, we have two B2B, one DM and one utility player - it wouldn't hurt the squad much if we swapped the Utility player out for another specialist DM.
Also you seem to be giving up on all our prospects/loanees;
Andre Wisdom
Tiago Ilori
Joao Teixeira
Luis Alberto
Sebastian Coates
I reckon atleast one of them will take up a squad role next season. Probably Wisdom or Illori, but one of the others may be a dark horse.
I don't mind people picking out players like its football manager - its fun. But atleast do it with some sense:
Miralem Pjanic/Lars Bender/Mateo Kovacic - 3 very different players. There's not much point of a slash indicating "or" if the players you want to add have nothing in common. No-one in their right mind should ever think "damn we missed out on Pjanic, lets go for Bender". You either wanted a Bender type player in the first place or you didn't.
Also, given the number of players you want leaving compared to the relative few coming in, it seems you are against the idea of having a decent sized squad. Which is also pretty thick.
When someone suggests gutting their team despite them playing well, it either makes them a moron or a WUM. Take your pick.
