If the best offer that came in was a loan until the end of the season and a fraction of his wages covered (20% tops) then what's the point?

If we are basically no better off financially we might as well keep him just in case.

A decent offer, he goes, no question.

We have to stop being a soft touch. Loaning players out to clubs who have no intention of buying them, then paying most of their wages as well.

It’s not being a soft touch, it’s mitigating past mistakes.

Having said that, given we have a thin squad, if there isn’t much savings to be had then it’s pointless to move him on. He’ll be a better option than an academy player in a crisis.

How do you know he won't be needed ?
We have 4 central midfielders to get us through half a season, they only other alternative is the untested Onyango.

Weve got 2 CM positions. Theyre filled by Onana, Garner, Gana and we could use Doucoure there before using Onyango.

For Doucoure's position we could use a more attacking player.

There is no reason at all to hold onto a poor player.
 
Gomes = no threat in the opposion half of the field, and a liability in his own half where he's good for an idiotic, lazy yellow card every two games.

Get kin rid.

20% is approximately £850k saved. It's isn't gonna buy Mbappe but it's better than nothing.

No doubt we'll have an injury crisis soon
