I am sure this is happening. We have heard mounds of rumours reading FB's we are "on the verge" of signing.
Reality is Confederations Cup is going to interfere with this process as it affects other potential deals, even indirectly. When that is over deals will happen more swiftly.
I don't agree that everything else is gravy either.
We need another legit scorer and rely on Aguero and Jesus to score most of our goals.
We created many goal scoring opportunities than any PL club but struggled to finish them, and cost us points.
[color=#40FF00]Sanchez is more than a luxury from my standpoint. Someone of his calibre is almost necessary in order to move to the next level, [/color]unless someone manages to step up their scoring game. KDB, who scored more the season before, does not seem to be as much of a threat out of the no. 10 role, Sane seems too young/risky to be relied upon, and Raz surely cannot be so who else scores regularly for us then?
This is dangerous thinking and I think I'd better wash my mouth out and scrub myself with bleach for suggesting it, but would Diego Costa offer us something different to what we already have ??
He's out of favour at Chelsea and looks to be on his way and I wonder if a cheeky bid might succeed and save us a bit of cash, when compared to other options.
I don't know if he could adapt to Pep's style completely, without losing some elements of his game and he seems to be a particularly distasteful individual to compound matters, but I just wonder if he could do a job for us and, somehow, be a better option than Sanchez ??
Anyway, that's it......now I'm off to seek haven in the nearest anti-nuclear bunker.........
Costa? Thanks, but no thanks. Not for me
