"Oh, I say, dear"
Apparently he is available for £21M-£25M and Atletico are pursuing the deal at that. Forget Lavezzi and the like, and all the other overpriced "reeks of desperation", barrel bottom scrapings we're being linked with.
Sturridge, Lambert, False 9, super flexible front 3. We have the options.
Either that or we need to swallow our pride, forget the potential embarrassment and headlines and go back in for Remy. Everyone else he's played for has had no problems, QPR are delighted to have him back and now Chelsea are being heavily linked. He's the most suitable and best suited to our system(s).
As it's becoming clear we knew Suarez was leaving this Summer, it was just for how much and to who, what was our Plan A to replace him? What was Plan B? Hope Plan A works? What was Plan C? Go to Plan B?
None of the recent links would just 'slot in'. It would need a change of system in order to accommodate any of them and a change to Sturridge's role being the biggest problem. The longer we leave it, the nearer the end of the transfer window, the more we will be forced to overpay.
Either go all out to get Reus, return for Remy or just shut the cheque book, sit back, cross your fingers and start planning for January.
The joys of our club.
