    Spending £18m on a position that requires the least amount of strengthening makes a lot of sense.

    Considering we're threadbare in that position it really isn't. Any player who improves the team and squad is more than welcome.

    A cheeky 35k bid should get it done.

    Fits the bill. A player absolutely no one has heard of, and will never kick a ball for us. Bingo.

    If we're to believe they are nearing fitness, then we have a midfield 3 of Doucoure, Chalobah and Capoue. I wouldn't say no to a backup player, but the idea we're looking to splash the cash in the position we need it least is baffling.

    But at the present we have Capoue. If fit they will be way off the pace so far. You can't open a season with hopes of players being fit

    Just seems like a waste to me. Rather they got somebody on loan to cover until they're all fit, and consider spending £18m on a centre half

    Opening bid has to be at £10k to achieve £35k leaving them feeling they have more than tripled their money.

    We will NEVER EVER spend 18 million or even 10 million on a CB (I think you mean?). It is not the Pozzo way. Do you really want Mawson or would you not rather have an up and coming Wilmot?

    He's another one who'd cost about £20million - a regular for a Marseille side who qualified for the Europa League, 22 and with a contract until 2021. He's been linked with quite a few clubs recently, including Chelsea and Sporting.
