It's Quiet the £250m return

I am told talks have taken place with a number of senior players.

I am told the club are exploring a potential loan for Oscar Bobb. I know a lot may be unhappy to hear that. Still highly rated at the club. However internally the feeling is he will benefit from playing regular football this season. If Oscar Bobb stays expect Echeverri to be loaned.

The names given for senior players the club are open to selling are:

Stones, Akani, Grealish, Gundo, Mcatee, Nunes.

Club want to keep Kova.

Right back being looked at.
If Bobb going on loan I’d offer him to Newcastle as a sweetener for Livramento.

If Ortega, Akanji, Gundogan and Nunes all leave that would leave us at 17 foreign players which would mean we still need a homegrown right back. However if Echeverri goes and Bobb stays then we have room for one more foreign player.

All of that makes perfect sense. However achieving all those sales will be a lot harder in reality.

Stones is so injury prone that we may have to cut losses and loan him out for the last year of his contract so he can then go on a free.

Akanji - suggests that Khusonov is thought of as ready? - if he goes and we dont see Khusonov as ready we need a centre half to replace him.

Gundo - hopefully goes to Turkey - nominal fee Id guess

McAtee - first bid refused...hopefully get done about 30m which if we have a first refusal buy back would be great business

Nunes and Grealish will be the hardest to shift. Grealish cause of his wages and who will want Nunes? - one of the promoted teams maybe?

The only other one Id question is Ake - again like Stones he has been amazing but he will spend plenty of time injured...we need players that are available more than not and Ake doesnt really fit into that category (didnt he get injured again in the CWC?)

Presuming Ortega will go once we have got James Trafford through the door?

As Ive been saying all along...a right back is essential

You missed Phillips surely he’s in the departure lounge

Keep us updated mate, thanks for this. Surprised we are willing to sell Nunes, though. He is the best RB at the club.

Happy to see club want to keep Kova.
Far and away our best midfielder last season so thought it harsh that he appears on almost everyone's sell list.

He is HG, my guess is that he will be sold next summer

I do wonder what happens later in the window with Kova.

I could see a team in Saudi Arabia or Italy get desperate and put in an offer that we may view as too good to turn down.
 
It's all well and good wanting a right back but there has to be buyers for those players we want out and at the minute, I see it as unlikely all of those go. The squad is massive and foreign spots need to be free'd for champions league squad purposes
We have another 4+ weeks to sort it out. A new "flapper" I see amongst us.

I think I may have been misunderstood, I am not flapping by any means, I just think it will be difficult to shift ALL the players in an ideal world we want to shift. There will be a good chunk of that list who go of course like macatee, ortega, grealish but I think offers for nunes and stones for example may be more difficult but I'm not panicking mate.
