Assuming that Real come up with a deal that Levy accepts and a player is included as a makeweight who would you want:
If I had to take a deal then probably Coentrao. We aren't likely to get a better left back than him and I'd rather the likes of Willian and Lamela to di Maria. Jese and Morata could become stars but then again they might not.
Khedira? Is that in case Sandro, Dembele, Paulinho and Capoue are all injured? :-"
A left back is needed now, I think it's pretty clear that Benny is gone and who else could we get better than Coentrao?
kaka would soften the blow somewhat, I've a lot of love for him
I did omit to mention prior to us now looking likely to sign Capoue. Tbh, if we got rid of the other deadwood in centre midfield like Parker, Huddlestone and Livermore then Khedira could be perfectly viable but it would never happen.
As for the left back situation, not entirely sure that Benny is definitely gone, not in this window anyway. Coentrao is not exactly what I would want either. Would prefer to save that money and go for Baines if that was the case.
I hate this expression, it's so insulting, it's just wrong. It shows no respect for the contribution that players who may no longer be amongst the first names on the team sheet have made in the past. And it's a cliche to boot.
