Not sure Wanyama is the answer, and certainly not for £20m+. Lamela's confidence looks completely shot, and if we can get £15-20m we should snap.
Can't believe how much i'm looking forward to the EL so Carroll, Pritchard, Alli (and to a lesser extent Trippier and Bentaleb - what is going on there??) get a chance to stake their claims for a first team spot. Given how long it took Poch to give Kane his chance last season, i'm not holding my breath any of them will see serious first team action this side of Christmas.....
I couldn't agree more with all of your points.
I too would snap sell Lamela to anyone, hopefully Juve renew their interest. Mason is a decent squad player but nothing more imo, we need some experience and I can't believe we were never in for Cabaye.
I think Pritchard is legit but Carroll isn't good enough.
