        Thinking of downgrading a mid to upgrade fwd if someone comes good early. That being said, could go the other way (downgrade fwd to upgrade mid if needed). However, struggling for decent mids 6/6.5.

        Looking to cover City defence, could switch Zinch > Laporte, but then need to find 0.5 from elsewhere.

    Best mid and forward combo for 14.5m, excluding Bournemouth?

    Been on Haller Zaha but looks like Zaha to Everton maybe not happening now...

      But Haller looks tempting with a Leicester mid.

      Far too much money on the bench in Abraham. Downgrade, plus a couple of other tweaks, and upgrade Siggy to Salah

    Now I've got Guaita it comes down to 10.5 for two defenders.

    Currently on Coleman and Holebas. Not exactly convinced but could pay. Might go 6.0 and 4,5. Any offers for that?

        Digne is a temptation - perhaps as a placeholder for Cancelo if he's cheap.

        Diop - does he offer anything going forward? Can see those cs disappearing fairly quickly - always nice jus too have hope of returners.

        The 4.5 would though probably be first sub by week 3

      Decent. Milo is useless withouth Zaha though. Not a huge fan of the strikers.

    Am I being stupid or is Kyle Walker-Peters the next TAA at 5 mil now that Trippier has gone to Atletico?

      Comprtition from Foyth when he returns come september. Bit of a coinflip with Aurier as of now. Hope is Aurier for cups and KWP for PL.

    So, admission to the Chelsea defence is now only 5m. Take your pick from Zouma or Christensen.

    KWP nailed for at least 4 weeks at 5m too.
