Los Blancos should go for Harry Kane if Danny Levy could be engaged to strike a good deal, given his age and potential to improve at a considerable margin, I think he’s the man to go for. Payet is one hell of a playmaker to open up games and feed our attackers, Pogba hasn’t been convincing enough to prompt a massive risk that his price is puts, I’m all for Keylor Naval to remain, bringing De Gea might upset the Balance. Casemiro must be a mainstay if Madrid must build on cohesion and achieve greater balance, casemiro must be allowed regular full minutes to blend more with the team
Comment: we should go for Morata if n only if Lewy is not available, we nid a higher ranking striker, and i think we should forget abt Pogba n go for Payet, dis guy has d potential
