£50m for Andrey Santos. Would rather not have sold to another EPL rival, but reasonably happy with the deal.

Decent price for him - hard to say whether he's gonna go on to be top level, as he didn't get much of a chance last year - assume this means we will be looking to sign a cm, as we absolutely can't rely on Lavia or Essugo.

ED01, what are your thoughts on us selling Santos? I think it is a mistake as he has huge potential and is it because Alonso wants a different profile?
{Ed001's Note - I think it is because you have a surfeit of that type of player, though I would not have chosen to let him go. Personally, I like him and would gladly take him at Liverpool, I even suggested him as a player I would try and get last summer. However, you have to trim your squad, that has to be someone that other teams want to sign, which means Santos.}
