Hopefully have a fully fit Willock and then Tonali and Joe and hopefully an addition. I would rather he was sold to booster the funds for additions.

aimaad22 4156 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I think he's a good squad option to have when fully fit, especially if we manage to get into Europe again and have the added game next season. But if there's a bid of anything close to $20M, I'd sell for the FFP room of $100M it would open up for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno about the price but like Bournemouth paid 23mill for a kid from Bristol in the summer who has done nowt, palace paid 21 mill for a kid from Blackburn who has done nowt. Even Ruben Loftus Cheek, went for about 19 to Milan and he is dog eggs. Tbh I forgot about him being pure profit due to being home grown, I reckon moyes would pay 25 for him though. Spunked 30 on the free kick merchant who doesn’t even start games over a 6’8” freak 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully have a fully fit Willock and then Tonali and Joe and hopefully an addition. I would rather he was sold to booster the funds for additions. If you look at the Ashley-era players then you have Schar, Joelinton and Willock who are at the required standard for a Champions League squad. There’s a question mark against the latter because of the recurring injuries and Joelinton only has a year on his contract so I’m not saying they can’t be sold either. But, discounting those academy players who’ve recently come through the ranks for now, I think a decent bid for any other Ashley-era player and the club would be keen to let them go. It’s a shame if it’s a local lad because I think there’s a lot to be said for a core of them at any club. I’m also not saying we’re currently ‘too good’ for a player like Longstaff. But if the money is right and you can persuade him to go then you move him on, as the deal might not happen another 6 months or year down the line, for any number of reasons. That’s just the reality of the situation imo. No room for sentiment (that’s for us fans). Edited March 20 by Alex 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the prices paid and the quality of those we’ve brought in since the regime change. I do think Longstaff is a good player though. And one being harshly judged by having to do a job whilst carrying an injury because of the depleted squad. I also think Tonali is / was meant to be that upgrade 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the flip side is (assuming the other midfielders stay) that we can let him go without necessarily needing that upgrade straight away without CL football next season. We’re not bad off for midfielders with the emergence of Miley and Tonali next year. We need a striker even if Wilson stays though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
