Fermin Lopez (transfer rumour)

The signing of Xhaka will drag a better class of player though the door.
Literally….
of course it will.. there's people looking now to climb on board, 2 at least from a mate of mine who are top players by his account, that have contacted the club. Don't be surprised if another big spend happens in January.
 

If we sign some one for £50m+ I’d literally shit myself.
Tbh not sure I’d want to get into that area (rather 3/4 like we have just done in the summer) but hey ho I’d go along with it.👍
The thing is the summer signings have worked out so well that we are already starting to get into the territory where you'd have to spend that sort of money to improve the starting XI. At least if you are paying "face value" for a player who is relatively established.

Obviously you'd hope to uncover a bargain and pay less than that, but the higher you go up the quality scale the less likely you are to find an underrated gem.

Exactly my thoughts. Only discovering absolute gems or buying £50+ rated players would improve the starting line-up at this point.
