Jerome goes boateng could be the new "Ossie goes carting"

No, Bayern only shift their players when they are ready for the glue factory.
If he was on a free then possibly to boost squad numbers

Without sounding like he who can't be named on this forum, I defo think we need to temper expectations a tiny bit in terms of ffp.

We clearly need to ship a few out before we spend.

Likes of tosun, schneiderlin, Walcott and maybe sigurdsson will be so hard to move on, and we're highly unlikely to make any profit on them.

For me I'd look to move on St Thomas of west Derby.

Any fee would be pure profit, I think he would command a fee north of 20. Don't think he's the worst player in the world but just don't see him hitting the heights we'd all love.

Option 2 for me is pickford. I'm not suggesting he's terrible, but I don't think he's performed to the amount we've invested in him. He has the England's number 1 tag so I think that could allow us to hoodwink a buyer into paying more than the 35 million we bought him for.

Also think you could get an equally competant replacement elsewhere and cheaper. Whilst investing the money elsewhere in the squad.

As an example maybe Henderson at sheff utd.

Having said all the above, who knows, maybe moshiri issues new shares which uncle ussy snaffles up and we go all city robinho era

You get a few world class keepers, Pickford isn’t one he’s very good but so are a lot of others. I bet if we sold him and played Lossel we wouldn’t notice much different and Lossel wouldn’t make so many mistakes. But saying that I think if there was a real commanding CB in our side that would help Pickford improve.

Michael Seri I reckon could be a good midfielder for us to go for, struggled at Fulham but tbh they had some good players that all struggled in a poorly run team.

 

[Bluestar]

When Pickford first arrived he was great at quick recycling of the ball and launching counter attacks.
He doesn’t do that much any more and it was a massive plus side of his game.

Paco Alcacer anyone? Scored 10 in 8 games for Dortmund at the start of the season, gone off the boil a little bit since but still only 26. Very competent striker and he's surplus after Haland going there. Could probably get him for circa £20m.

Definitely worth a go.

Nope.

 

[DannyEvo]

is Rabiot even good.

Yes, but he's a massive knobhead.

 

[-Rob-]

Paco Alcacer anyone?

Only signed for them 12 months ago on a 5 year contract and has done well for them so I don't see why they'd sell even if they have got Haland

 

[Paul Rideout]

Yes, but he's a massive knobhead.

His mum defo is

Alllllll day. Quality player but i cant see him going for less than £35m.

Cengiz Under linked £30-35mil from Roma...think we were after him 2 summers ago

I Still want him badly

 

[PITA]

I'm thinking Oumar is Player Z.

I suspect that Oumar hasn't got a letter.

“
For a player still three months shy of his 24th birthday, Adrien Rabiot has already racked up enough controversies to fill an entire career.
Take the time he turned down a new contract at Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2014 and agreed to join Roma, only to change his mind months later and sign a new deal.
Or the time he missed the 2015 Coupe de France final after turning up late for a team meeting.
Or when he annoyed PSG coach Laurent Blanc in December 2015 by revealing he had told club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi to loan him out if his amount of playing time dropped.
Or his decision to reject a spot on the standby list for France's World Cup squad last year, which has left him marooned on six caps for the foreseeable future.
His latest contract standoff with PSG has prompted reports that he has agreed to join Barcelona at the end of the season, when the five-year deal he signed in 2014 expires.”


Swerve.
