I know summer transfer window is very far but by reading transfer rumors everyday it seems CFC will try to add atleast 4/ 5/ 6 new players depending upon if any player from present squad leaves.

Lots of reports saying Costa will leave at the end of season and CFC will try to sign lukaku/ morata as a replacement.

Matic future will be uncertain too and we might look at someone like verrati/ bakayoko/ naingolan/ vidal.

We will sign new left back along with central def.

And to add depth to squad another attacking winger.

Ins

Striker-60m
Winger-50m
Def mid-40m
Central def-40m
Left back-30m

Total spending 220m

Out

Costa-40m (if not china)
Matic-25m
Ake-20m (i don't want but might happen)
Cuadrado-25m (talks for permanent transfer will take place in summer)
Oscar-60m (sale from jan with money not invested)

Total 170m

Net spending 50m

Just a rough thought guys!

Staying with the same formation as we are using now:
If Costa goes I think lukaku will end up being his replacement. Not my choice but that's what I think will happen.
In midfield I would like naingollan or verratti.
Defence: bonucci or give ake and Christensen a chance.
If courtois leaves then donnaruma or oblak
A lot of ifs but there players that would improve us.

If Costa leaves I think he will go to China and we will get at least 60 - 80 mil for him.

My choice would be;
Ins - new rb backup (use ake as backup lb)
New gk provided begovic leaves
Verratti/ nainggolan to replace Matic
New winger - sell Willian
Lukaku for costa.

I think we will sign or try to sign Virgil van Dijk, Bakayoko, Bernardo Silva and Lukaku while also bringing back Christensen.

Oxlaid Chamberlin and Keene
Wouldbe good signings for us. Also it would be two more English players in the squad, so good for the Champs league. Any chance Ed?
