Insanely optimistic but even Wigan under Bruce bought Valencia when he was named young player of the world cup (i think).

But Bernardo Silva signed for Monaco for €15mil and weve seen Mirallas linked to them. It may be possible that a deal is lined up for Mirallas but whose to say some cash on top and guaranteed playing time wouldnt tempt Silva.

Long shot i know but would be amazing and Martinez seems to pull off a big surprise signing each summer.
 
@Dutch Toffee , would you like too comment on these two?
Ziyech is a great talent, but not sure if he's ready for a step up to the Premiership. Anyhow, I'd rather see us splashing the cash on a little bit more experienced playmaker as we already have a fair few young'uns in our squad.

As for Praet, sadly I lost touch with Belgian football a bit for the last year or so. Hear good stories about him, but really don't know him that well.
 
Ziyech.... his name alone would worth 10m.

We should sign Mosquito from brazil as well... he's a real pest for defender and never fails to find his target.
 
Praet seems like a boss fit for that left-sided Pienaar playmaker role but

a) I'd be impressed if we managed to get him
b) He's young, a front four of Lukaku, Barkley, Deulofeu and Praet is insanely youthful. Wouldn't be surprised if Martinez tried to get a wiser head in there.

a) Hmm, rumour is that an offer of £7mil would be enough to get us to the table at least.

b) Neither would I. Problem is, there really isn't many out there!
 


I'm sure Bobby had planned to have a word with him after the game in Kiev... after the 5-2 defeat I doubt he had the brass neck lol

In all seriousness I seen something somewhere saying that Kiev value him at 20m euros. He would be well worth the money.

I suspect that will be too much for RM's transfer budget...unless Mirallas is sold??
 
Ziyech probably the most affordable if we went after him, he'd obviously jump at the chance too. Two issues with him, he's good but we're also buying potential again. We need someone whose class now. Second thing is, the Dutch league is very hit and miss, although usually technique and vision are good wherever you play.

Sigurdsson is a favourite, rated him ever since he turned up in the prem. Spurs were mad to sell him, and we missed the boat. If he played for us we'd want £20m+ for him, so Swansea will want the same. Looks a no go.

Yarmolenko is a class act, and looks like he fancies himself as an Eastern European Ronaldo. Right age, creative, boss goals record, good name to shout if he had a pop from long range, sign him up. At a guess £15m might do it.
 
Yarmolenko would be amazing business but with Deloufeu signing I couldn't see it isn't he a right sided player?

I think any playmaker will be a left sided pienaar type with Mirallas possibly leaving, I did think he would stay but I can't see Martinez dropping Ross or playing him deeper with his man love for Barry, unless we go to a 4-3-3 (again can't see it sadly) I think Mirallas may go for £12-15 mil and we'll use that for our playmaker. If Yarmolenko could play LM he would certainly be a top draw signing.
