Reports that Bayern would sell Sanches for 30-35 million. Also reported that they want Tolisso, so the Sanches story seems likely (Ed002 has also hinted that they'd be willing to sell) .
Now, Ed has stated that Golovin is an alternative to Bakayoko. But I'd much rather we go for Sanches at 30 million. He's massively talented, and seems like a better bet than Golovin. What do you all think?

Personally I think he's over-rated. I may well be wrong though!

I like him as a player Jackson but nothing to indicate we're interested. Ed please correct me if I'm wrong here but he seems like more of a likely Man Utd purchase to me.
{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what you are talking about.}

Oh I know we probably have zero interest in Sanches, J. Just saying that perhaps we should be interested in him if other targets don't work out. Ed stated we have an interest in Golovin, but I'd rather see us go after Sanches instead.

Why would you want a player who although is clearly talented has failed to in anyway settle and adapt to life in Munich If life there is a culture shock to him then i don't see the culture change here being all that different you'd have to assume Bayern have done all they can to make him feel at home. Some players just can't handle that change so to chuck a relatively large sum of money albeit not my own seems a rather large risk that just isn't worth taking IMO.
Saying that though i'm a bit of a pessimist i don't see Golovin has an improvement on what we already have this Bakayoko however looks to have bright future and could potentially turn out to be a great buy should it happen. Though i think when you have a player like Kante in your team he would be the perfect player to allow David Luiz to go back to CDM has he does the job of two people it really would free Luiz up.
