I am with you on that Pablo, in theory we should have 75 — 80 mill to spend, I wouldn't put Zabaletta in the 2 or 3 quality players, he is decent offensively but plays in a team that rarely has to defend, Moses looks decent
doing that at Chelsea, all too often Byram has been exposed by not having any defensive assistance if we sign him will be interesting to see how he is defensively because he will be
tested in our team, Batshuayi would be a quality addition but he is still only a reserve for Chelski and I don't think he could
do what Costa has for them or for us, imo we would still need another striker to lead the line, maybe Josh King if the rumours are true, what hasn't been mentioned too much is the left wing slots, none of ours are particulary great most of them seem to prefer the right side, if we don't go for Nolito maybe have a punt on Grosicki from Hull, we were interested in him previously and he is a very quick player that can create and
score goals.
