Sahin would be good but i have a feeling if we were to sign sahin it would be on a loan with option to buy, because i dont see us splashing out 15-20mio on a player who still hasn't really impressed for madrid given his limited chances to do so. Where strootman for closer to the 10mln figure would be a more realistic transfer and PSV would probably take one of our mediocre players in exchange to lower the cash sum to near 5-8mln someone like taiwo etc, where madrid would never do that because they are no average team and shit out money on top of that.
The only way i'd like sahin is to buy him out right for close to 10-15mio and no loan BS, i dont want to get attatched to a player(especially him since he's a great talent) just to see him go back to madrid (one of our european rivals) because we couldn't afford him or what not. Plus I think strootman is more of priority because I don't think montolivo is a good fit for our anchor position, with Pirlo gone and MVB just leaving as well I'd see montolivo on the right or left side of our midfield possibly even at cam when he's needed.
Though, like you said id love to see both
Balzaretti 5mln+didac, Strootman 6mln+taiwo, Miccoli is out of contract and a lethal goal scorer, wouldn't mind jumping on that. Or Di Natale it's good to have a lethal goal scorer when all else fails in certain games.
11m and a couple useless players gone mercato and we could literally have a solid solid team
