[quote author=H link=topic=34210.msg891725#msg891725 date=1245449889]Mascherano's agent, Walter Tamer, held talks on Wednesday with Barca general manager Raul Sanlehy and sporting director Txiki Begiristain, who will offer around £20m plus possibly striker Bojan Krkic. [/quote]
I don't mind £25m plus thierry henry.

Henry would be the ideal player for us at the moment.
Can play on the left or up front, doesn't need to play every single game, pace, Premiership proven.
We probably could squeeze a few years out of him, but ultimately he'd be short term solution to the left side.
I'm not completely in favour of the idea of selling a a defensive midfielder for an attackers as it doesn't solve the problem created by Mascharano's departure.

Not neccessary a short term solution, if we let Babel be his understudy. Hopefully that can help Babel to finally fulfill his potential.
If we have enough attackers in our squad, the rely on defensive midfielder like Mascherano will be lesser. I really don't mind player like Guthrie or Spearing to be his replacement, they might not be world class but so was darren fletcher.
