Surely some Italian team will pay a few quid to take Allan off our hands
Whether he stays or goes will probably depend on the quality of any offer, what it does to the finances and whether or not we bring in one more mid or two. That could go either way.
Looking forward, we're at sixteen senior players (seventeen if we exercise the Doucoure option) going into next season, plus whatever permanent adds we make this window. Next season we'll need keeper cover, we'll need to deal with the Pickford and Iwobi contract situations one way or another, and we'll have a major decision to make about DCL. About half the dead wages come off at the end of June, which should give us a little wiggle room next summer for a couple of additions on installment deals.
If we get a few more good young players in to build around next summer, we should finally have the Titanic pointed somewhere other than at the iceberg. Turning Digne and Richarlison into Myko, Patterson, Onana, McNeil and any other permanent ins looks like a pretty solid haul - vastly better than I think any of us expected.
Tarkowski looks like a solid Bosman, and quality young players seem to actually want to play for us. Those are both refreshing changes of pace.
