I’d rather just loan without a sale. Worry about his future after, make sure he’s guaranteed minutes first. Especially since Kudus is leaving and he can be a direct replacement

We've had our fingers burnt in the past with deals like that & there's no incentive to play them. £10m from Saints & £16m to £20m from Chelsea in add ons for Lavia is superb business & we'd struggle to get anywhere close to that if he'd gone out on loan.

Yeah but also given how much these clubs go on to sell them for, say McAtee has a great season, you’re looking at a potential €50-60m player there instead of us getting 20m for him now with a sell on clause however that’s worth.

I would rather have £20m upfront with buyback & sell on clauses than 2 or 3 loans & then a pittance transfer fee 4 or 5 years down the road. Patrick Roberts springs to mind.

We’re not getting £16-20m from Chelsea mate, more like £10-11m, still great business tho

And rather than reflexively seeing it as greed, wouldn't taking the big payday also be something that a good man (or woman) would do as an obligation to his (or her) family? Noble, in my view.

When I hear the phrase “world class” I most certainly don’t associate it with Dani Almo.

I would say Wurtz, well worth going for him now, a bit of a gamble after his injury, but another good year in Germany and you would have to find at least 100M, this summer maybe 50/60m plus McAtee on loan?
