A deal that big suggests that Hendo is seen as an integral part of our midfield for the foreseeable future. Personally I think we need a significant upgrade in CM, imo it should be our number 1 priority this summer.
I agree
If they are paying him that much though its highly unlikely it will be available for a new recruit. No disrespect to hendo but he is not worth that. We can go on about not having this and that to spend but our problem has always been what we are spending it on.
I wouldn't sell him though but I would allen and lucas. Replace them with carvalho and song and we will soon have a midfield that will not only provide adequate protection in defense but also a route through midfield and support up front. Even if we don't get both, one of them alongside can would be streets ahead of what we have now.
A striker is also needed. A proper one, the worst thing we can do gamble again on sturridge's fitness. They need to get someone capable of 20+ in a season and its not origi, not writing the lad off but he has had a poor season in france and its a big step up here. We have to aim higher than danny ing's also.
At the moment though I have absolutely no faith we will get some top players in. It will be more kids and excuses as to why top players prefer to live elsewhere and earn more money.
Carvalho's a good shout mate but I'd like to see someone more creative than Song next to him, Veratti or Barkley would be ideal but the odds of getting either of those 2 are pretty slim, the likes of Chelsea, City and United will be fighting it out for their signature.
That lad from Roma (Pjanic) is a good player, wether he'd come here without CL footy though is open to debate.
