Agree but you can only sell if there is a willing buyer.

Our lot are either so crap that no one will touch them with a barge pole and you have to wait for them to be out of contract to get rid or paid disporopotionately too high a wage that clubs who might want to take a punt ( Mina , Allan etc ) cannot afford to do so.

…or if the player wants to leave.
 



Logic says we won't.

Our two best current midfielders appear to be Iwobi and Doucore, neither of whom have ever looked remotely comfortable in a two. Neither of the next two players in the queue (Allan and Davies at the moment) do either. But they can all look serviceable in a three man shape.

So either we sell them ALL (including Gomes and Gbamin) and buy four new CMs who can all perform in a two man shape, or we sell the worst couple (Gomes +1) and bring in two who can slot in as starters in a three man midfield.

Our current finances combined with our needs elsewhere mean that we need to upgrade in a precise, surgical and cost-effective manner. There's no point sorting out midfield in a way that leaves us no means to recruit someone else to play as a wide forward on the right.

If you look at the initial midfielders we've been linked with, Zinchenko, Winks, Gallacher, Gilmour, - all of those are players for a three man midfield - none would suit a two men system.
