Problems - what to do?

[AFII]

We would easily get more than £20m for Xabi. He is very, very highly rated in Spain.

Lucas is the more complete player IMO. He can be a holding midfielder, box to box midfielder and attacking midfielder without any problems.

If the choice was between Lucas and Xabi then I would sell Xabi and buy Eto'o or Diego for the money.

Hey, he just needs to slow down now and again, but he can't help it when he is egged on...

Jesus that's amazing, rumors start that we could sell Xabi to fund a deal for Masch and you want to get bloody Eto'o or Diego instead

Sell Sissoko and Crouch. That would pay for Mascherano.

I'm not sure we'd get £20m for Xabi, AFII. He may be highly rated but as stated above he's not even a reguar in Spain's national side. Also he's 26. We signed him at 23 for £10.5m. He hasn't improved that much since we signed him to double his price. If he was English then we probably would get £20m (when you think of £18m for Carrick & £17m for Hargeaves). Maybe £15-16m max.

haha, yes, if xabi is well known in spain, and would fetch 20 million plus, then i think eto'o is worth 60 million

Agreed. But then we still need at least 1 winger 2 strikers and a CB who can play LB too.

It would also finance a winger and forward.

Mate he watches streams and downloads torrents, listen to him, genius about every aspect and every ****in player in the game

True.

What about Carson? Isn't he off to Villa for a ludicrous 10 million quid?

Sissoko and Crouch would bring in £20mil. Mascherano costs 17mil. So thats 1,5mil for each then?
