Guys I have a feeling Bacca will be sold. Honestly, I'm not against it either.. Big offers 60m+ are coming in for him and he's pushing 30. He's scoring goals, but in build up he's not the greatest. I know that's not what he's meant for, but he cant even use his left foot, at times it's frustrating. I feel like poachers aren't a necessity in modern day teams. I think the team itself will score more goals if we got someone more technical. He's been scoring but he's also messed up a lot of simple passes to teammates wide open in the box on attacking plays. I say sell him, Adriano and Menez. If we get 90m for them three we can buy someone to replace Bacca, and then Vazquez to replace Menez. Adriano is just a surplus right now anyways, if we only sold him I'd reinvest all his sale money into midfield. There's options we can consider, at least our team has value and we have something to work with. The last few years our most valuable player would've probably only got us 10-15m.
The question would be who is going to replace Bacca. There's a lot of players our there that I would consider, but who knows what they'll cost. Chelsea may not even make Europa League, would someone like Diego Costa leave? I don't see him being worth more than 50-60mln and I do think (despite his attitude and Chelseas poor season) that he's an overall better player than Bacca. Btw, where is Lewandowski going next season? Last I heard Man City wants him and are offering 75mln.
I don't mind shipping out Balotelli,Menez,Bacca,Adriano and bringing in Vazquez,Diego Costa, and a back up striker.. Pavoletti has been mentioned, but I'd prefer a young player with potential instead of a below par player.
