Why will we not sign a player for 16mill? We offered 12 for Carrol. I think if it is a good deal for the club we would pay 16 mill. Just in most cases there is always a better option for cheaper. Hypothetical but if Messi wanted to come to us for 16 mill, we would do it.
It's hard to say what we need, sometimes players end up playing well without us expecting it, and formations change. Perch being an understudy to Tiote, and Anita possibly becoming a solid right back. Marv could make LW his own, or even possibly Fergie or Sammy. Another centre half would be the priority, whether that be a destroyer type to compliment Colo, or an understudy to Colo.
