All 3 have really failed to shine, Leroy has shown flashes but not become the player they thought he would.

i think sterling knew where he was joining, basically wanted just to retire and didn't even have to leave UK keeping his big wages. love leroy to death, would have him back in a heartbeat any time personally (know that will never happen), but yea, injuries didn't do him any good, couldn't regain a form after them. i think, ferran a good player, still has potential and a market value, barca could sell him prolly around the same fee.

Julian is a good penalty taker, and God knows we have few of them in the squad.

At the risk of being accused again of being ' a depressing poster' why are we selling one of our better players, with no apparent imminent incoming?

Is it Charity season and we are planning to gift Arse the PL? Our squad was thin and worn out last season following Treble exertions 22/23, then a long season, followed by the mindless Euros. The players we have will be absolutely shattered enough, we desperately need reinforcements. So why is Hooolian being allowed to leave???

Great theory, keep him cos he’s half decent at taking a pen, lol.

Noooo!! I merely commented about Julians pk ability on the basis that as we are basically shyyyte at pks ( taking and saving) letting another go who can take them successfully is not a good look especially if there is no replacement lined up. I am sure my point will be proved next week if we manage to get to pks vs the Scum.....

We need replacing players not letting yet more leave.
 
It’d be a good move for Julian I think, I could see him doing well as their front man. He’s a busy hard working player that would suit Simone’s style of play. Get a good fee so that we can get a good quality replacement and it won’t be such a bad loss.

He will be replaced, he is done with us, only a matter of time.

We were reported to be signing a young Dutch lad, but that appeared to be a CFG signing but who knows.

The Toney rumour could be an interesting on and he would be cheap but would he come as a squad player?

I’d love Toney here, clever player, but can’t see him sitting on the bench as you say. Unless he’s confident enough he can force his way into the first team even when Haaland is on the pitch.

Shame that he seems to be ready to leave, and that the club are prepared to discuss the possibility with other clubs. . But you can understand him wanting more game time

It's not merely just about game time but being seen as main man in team something Alvarez will never get as long Haaland in here.

They just bought Sorloth as well, so Alvarez will notch up a share of goals but hes definitely going to be the hard runner for Simeone.

Griezmann. Cheap, low wages, won't complain, can play false 9, striker, winger, AM, scores a lot, good play maker, great vision, Assists a lot, great work rate...
