Posted yesterday that they may be struggling to meet the next instalment payment. Was it Rennes?

I think Iwobi's wage is actually quiet reasonable (relative to what went before).

If he does end up there, I'd imagine the RS will have a field day in offsetting unwanted reserves against his value.
I'm amazed at the value they get for players, some of whom can't even be classified as fringe.

Yeah. All leaks tend to come from the selling side. Even the Doucoure links came from a Watford ITK

That makes some sense. It's odd they were hawking him around clubs.
People would be very surprised how things like that make a difference in clubs. In general we see 30m or whatever they paid and think it's all up front. It's generally not, it's spread. Of course, when a big bill comes in for him next season, they only way to really solve that is to move him on. It puts clubs under a lot of pressure.

Absolutely, all things being equal and a credible board/President I would expect the club would keep Todibo and count on him for the future but instead he is merely transfer fodder after being acquired on the cheap. I think he's excellent and would fit in at any club
It all depends where Gibson is in the pecking order I suppose. If the thinking is that they would rather move digne or Kenny to centre half than play Gibson then there’s no point keeping hold. I’ve said before, none of the signs out of the club suggest that they think Gibson is a great prospect. He gets bigged up on here but it seems he’s some way off at the moment.

Similar issue with us mate. Firstly the wages they pay and secondly whether they'd jump down are in question.
In a broader sense, you have to factor in they manipulate figures well, and tend to use agents a lot (so pay agents very high fees to move them on). So you see 20m for Solanke. At best you are looking at £10m down, the rest based on goals, England appearances etc he will never score. Of the 10 they recieve, they probably pay 4 or 5 to an agent to ag agent to sort the deal. They probabaly take about £5m of that, and will get another couple on the drip. Again it's still a lot for Solanke, but after Chelsea have been paid their 3 or 4 million initially (plus the sell on %) they don't make an awful lot. Hence why when their books look very good, it is not as rosy underneath it all.
Sides are getting cleverer with them too this summer. There have been no stupid offers for Lallana, Origi, Wilson, Brewster (yet), Lovren, Shaqiri etc.

The counter would be, why offer him the 4-5 year contract they did?

Use both of them. I still haven't seen enough of sarr yet though, i think he'd be OK to come in as a backup now and iron out the rawness over the next couple of years, but we need to be buying a starter right now, he's not good enough yet to start 30 odd games for us and be effective imo.

Yes they want others to come in and bid. And we are negotiate hard and well now, so we put a bid in, they say they want more, and it looks like we don't blink. Eventually all 3 sellers have come to our price.
His market value right now is very high. If he stays and they don't get promoted you could basically half the current asking price. No shock they're trying to flog him right now.
I personally don't think he's worth the £40m or so that's been touted - another winger that doesn't score a whole lot of goals.

I fail to see how an ear transplant would do anything to improve his game.
