Agree, but it's also a lot of money.

Still have find and buy the right players with that money. All good to say oh we got 100m+ for them, but you need a plan for that money and cant afford to get it wrong. Also doesnt look good to prospective recuirts if our best young talent is walking out the door. Need to keep at least one imo

Why would he want to leave?

This is what shows our lack of ambition

Quick to tie down players like Barry who retired years ago but no body told him

Yet are top players we let it drag out and leave it far too late

Barry would sign immediately though because he knows no other club would bevstipidceboughvgo have him. Rom and Ross know they're in demand and can play the club for the best deal possible.

Losing Ross would probably hurt me more than losing Rom if I'm being honest

Same here. My favourite player. I wouldn't swap either of them given the choice.

I'm the other way round.

I'd rather they both stay to be fair.

What I've also thought.

Up until recently I actually wasn't worried about him wanting out at all. Very unexpected developments recently these..

It would be a shocking dereliction of duty by the Board to not get a contract for Ross over the line. I seriously doubt that they could cope with the public fallout directed at them, as this would be the ultimate confirmation of the total incompetence of BK and RE. This assumes even more significance with the possible exit of Lukaku.

The loss of the 2 best young players around would seriously imperil Moshiri's vision: he has previously stated his intention to keep our best players. Let's hope it happens, or the on-field "project" would be in tatters.

If he does leave then all those slating him on here and booing him at GP should do the decent thing and hold their hands up and take their fair share of the blame

No, I don't think they'll be doing that
