To be honest talk of the likes of Son & Maddison is a bit daft at this stage.  We just aren't going to be in that market, those clubs are not going to sell their best players to us and more importantly their best players aren't going to want to join us right now.  Maybe in a few years if our world domination plans come to fruition, but for the time being I think we're going to have to be a bit more creative.

This is massively true.

I don't understand why we'd spend so much time and energy beefing up our recruitment team, and why we employed the DOF that we did, if we were going to go out and sign the best players at PL clubs that we play twice per season, and see every match they play as a quotidian extension of our prevailing football culture.

I agree.  We're in the market of buying Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Juventus' best players off them.  Skint pricks.

More realistically, I'm expecting 1, maybe 2 names that I've heard of before (to replace Barkley and possibly upgrade Nakamba), and maybe 3 or 4 players that I'm mostly/completely unaware of at the moment.  As others have said, no point spending loads of money on beefing up a recruitment team to buy players that Tony Cascarino could point out to you.

It is.

It is, in Son's case especially. But these are not normal times, and many of the usual suitors are in utter financial dire straights. There is room for those with full pockets to take advantage, above and beyond what would be normally accepted.

Hm. Starting to look a bit MONish.

Eh?

Just, like, there are other countries to sign players from, many of whom won't cost three times what they should

MON also wouldn’t have had a bloke like Lange heading up his recruitment. Rather it would have sent chain smoker John Robertson out there to find our newest reserve right back for £8m

I agree we are not in the market to cherry pick the best players from the best PL teams, as more than likely they won't join us anyway.

But then i think about Fabrizio Ravanelli who in 1996 had just won the European Cup with Juventus, and then joined Middlesbrough!

I don't want us to have the highest paid player in the PL, as i think it would cause too much disruption, but we can certainly aim high.
Sell them the dream Deano.

We have some of the wealthiest owners in the world and Deano has said 'fans will be excited' at our transfer plans this summer. 

We are in that market.

We need to think big to be big.  :) If Maddison is dragging his heels at Leicester, that is sending a message. Perhaps Jack, Tyrone and Ollie should give him a message on English duty (it's how the ESL wannabees do it).  :)

I reckon not tucking in your shirt would be enough with Southgate.
