Who would people say is the closest to Jesus in terms of defending and work rate against the teams that are able to test us and put us on the back foot for a noticeable amount of time?

I can't really think of a player that is quite as good or as happy to do the dirty work as him up front. He's also more of a nuisance for opposition defenders than he gets credit for IMO. I hope we get a good fee and I hope others are ready to pick up the extra slack if/when his absence starts to show.

Tin hat ready .....................

I would like to keep Gabby and let either or both Raz or Mahrez leave. The lad loves hard work and has openly stated he likes being a winger / provider.

Having said that I don't want to lose any of our squad and definitely not to EPL clubs.

Yeah, its funny how he gets selected for almost all the big games and turns in performances in them, sometimes match winning.

If we have two new forwards incoming it makes sense that we will lose at least one. The question for me is if Haaland is here, almost certainly he is going to be first pick in big games. That means Gabby would have to compete for a wide position rather than a centre or wide position. He may well feel he will get less rather than more game time (with Alvarez, Haaland and with the world cup coming up....). Even if we offered him better terms would he stay? Meanwhile Raheem is in no hurry, he doesn't want to change clubs before the wc, I feel he will run his contract down and leave on a free. We don't seem to be fending off bids for Mahrez so he is in a similar position. My heart wants Gabby to stay very much. My head says there are a set of circumstances which make it very likely he will go. As long as we don't undervalue him. £50m, no less.
 
Would be great if he is still considering staying. It looks to me, that Raz is running his contract down for a last big bumper contrac/signing fee. If that's the case, he won't play much next season. I can see why Madrid would want Gabby, just to stop him from playing against them!
It would be interesting to see him link up with Harland - I think that partnership has real potential.

I wouldn’t totally rule out both Sterling and Mahrez sharing equal minutes next season as both are on their last year. Both does still have a chance to extend imo
 
50M Euros is a great deal for someone with 1 year on contract and who is more of a squad player. It'll get done I'd expect.
He deserves to be playing every week to further his career but just isn't quite good enough for that role in our team.
