I think he'll be gone. Sorry FLuffy, just can't see him staying with you guys for longer.

Yeah I think he'll be gone too. Even if this rumour isn't true, I think by the end of the window, he'll be gone. If the fee ends up being less than £40m it'll be a travesty.

Who do you think could replace him?
I honestly don't think we can without spending all of the money we get for him, which we won't. Gylfi had more assists than Sanchez, Ozil and Fabregas last season, and we certainly won't be buying someone of their calibre. I wouldn't be surprised if something happens like us getting Ross Barkley as part of the deal, but I don't rate him.

Eh Barkley seems to think a lot of himself.
I don't rate Oxlaide. So we'll probably get him I agree it's 50-50 regarding Van Dijk but I'm still hopeful we can get him. Probably wouldn't be until deadline day but still...LOL.
Barkley is a weird one. He has tons of potential but no-one (himself included) seem to know what his best position is. I know you didn't mention him in this post but I thought it'd be easier to talk about him in this one to save space LOL. As for Sigurdsson, with the amount of money Everton have been spending this summer I wouldn't be surprised if they stumped up the cash for him.
Barkley doesn't strike me as worth 50 million.
Agreed. He hasn't earned that price tag yet. Then again a lot of footballers (even mediocre ones) end up costing loads of money nowadays
In other news, more Champions League Qualifiers tomorrow I believe. And Liverpool play their first pre-season friendly on Wednesday at Tranmere.
Seems like the Twitter rumours yesterday weren't true. Swansea have now upped Gylfi's value to £50m. Thank god. Looks like Jack Cork is on his way out to Burnley for £10m too. He actually hasn't been a bad player for us but with Mesa signing, we're probably over subscribed in midfield so someone had to go. Amat has joined Real Betis on loan too, which hopefully means we'll be signing a centre back.

Wow. Cork is a good player....
Cork joining Burnley is a good signing for Burnley IMO. Fair price as well to be fair.
As for Sigurdsson, it increases your chances of keeping him at least. Any centre-back you want in particular FluffySheep?

Can't say I've heard of Badstuber, but if he's available and he joined than I hope he'd be a good signing for you (except for when you play Liverpool of course LOL)
Subotic might be a good punt if he can keep his fitness.
