Why would Kross, James, or Isco want to come to us? They want to stay at a winning club that actually chooses to keep its best players. Real Madrid have the opposite scenario' they probably want to get rid of some players, but their players actually want to stay, because they realize they have arrived at the pinnacle of the sport, not some stop gap solution.
A list of underwhelming names. I'd rather spend 50-60 million on two young and promising talents who could potentially become great for us, then waste unnecessary mullah on some of the hacks on the list Mark posted. Witsel?! Sissoko?! Biglia?!

I'd be really pissed if we sell him now. We had a great mercato till July when we sold Vidal. We spent the rest of the summer looking for a replacement and didn't find one. This summer looks no different.
Weak management. No direction or ambition. Constant rebuild/destroy/dismantle approach.
