Silva can be sold. There will be interest. The thing is that we need to lower our expectations. We can not sell him for 30mil any longer. But if we ask for 20, then it can be done I think.
As for the SS position, I would like a player that's a hybrid between a CF and AM/W. Someone that's comfortable dropping into the hole making our formation a christmas tree at times when in possession but still able to score goals. Think of Hazard for example. Drops deep to participate in play and combine, can go wide and beat his man, but is also good for 15-20 goals a season.
Obviously we can't get Hazard or anyone of his stature. We can't get a player of that level that will score 15-20 goals and participate in the play. That would cost more then 100mil. But my point is, we need a player of that style to give us the numbers in the midfielder (Attacking Midfield, that is) when needed but also contribute numbers as a CF (maybe we are talking about someone that can score 10 goals a season and participate in the play).
