Something to get everyone involved and hopefully lift spirits and little and create some healthy debate. It is all hypothetical of course.

You are the manager. You are given 200 million this summer, on top of this you are able to sell 4 players to add to the 200million.
Ighalo has already signed a permanent deal.

What do you do?

First order of business for me is selling.
Pogba I'd stick 80 on his head and be done with him.
Next up sanchez and I would take 15million and run to the hills.
Then I would sell Lingard for 15million
And finally I would sell whoever we can out of Jones/ Rojo either at 10million.

So that gives me 320million to buy.
#1 on I guarantee most lists - Sancho at let's say 100million.
#2 Saul in to replace Pogba - let's say 100million also.
#3 Zakaria in - 60 million
#4 Grealish - 60million

I don't feel defence needs any immediate fixing. I expect Henderson will be loaned out again. Shame as I'd prefer to DDG. But DDG also deserves a bit of loyalty after his many heroics.

DDG/ Romero

AWB/ Dalot Bailly/ Lindelof Maguire/ Tuanzebe Shaw/ Williams

Zakaria/ Mctominay Fred/ Matic

Sancho/ Greenwood Fernandes/ Grealish Rashford/ James

Martial/ Ighalo.

I don't think anyone is buying Sanchez for 15m with 1 year left on his contract.

At best, he will sit on the bench until his contract runs out, or we'll buy out his contract and make him a free agent.

I think the transfer prices may take a serious hit which no one can tell. I honestly can't see football happening this year.
