Nwaneri and MLS off in the summer then. Or at least Arsenal willing to sell.

We may think they are not good enough for us, but we need others to imagine we believe they are good enough for us so they'll pay fifty million quid each for them. Tricky.

We need Chelsea?s marketing department tbh.

Yes, it's always difficult to run an essentially illegal operation according to the actual rules; any wrong-doer who's ever tried to go straight could've told them this.

They really need to pick a lane and then stay in it

I think the excuse is finances. Selling them is pure profit on the books.

Right. But the actual reason is they're both too small and Arteta has rather individual ideas about that sort of thing.

They're worth a punt for almost anybody else though.

Max may as well **** off now. No point in signing a contract, getting shunted back to the reserves and then ending up on loan because we've spent a fortune on another big lump from Chelsea.

That's football, he's had his chance.

Perhaps we could give him to Chelsea, in return for a big lump.

I dont think he has signed a professional contract yet. So we would literally be giving him away.

But, as you say, he had his chance, and he did well. He'll always have that

His parents are his agents and are both Gold Members - so that's good.

He may also turn into a big lump in time anyway.

I dont think red was being terribly serious about the big lump thing. We have plenty of players who aren't but still retain Arteta's favour- Saka, Trossard, Martinelli, Odegaard.

Of course, he has slowly destroyed them all, but the key word there is slowly....

I saw a tenuous link to us and Sorloth from Athletico. Then I saw that he leads the way in terms of ariel duel's won in Europe

Sell while their stock his high. Or we?ll end up taking ?20m for each. Club want ?50m for each to start conversations.

Bournemouth paid ?10m for Junior Kroupi as an 18 year old.
Just saying

Indeed - He was from the French second division and bought from the club with the same owner - in return for letting Romain Favire go the other way also on the cheap.

Very impressed from what I?ve seen of him so far. Absolute steal.

Indeed. Scored a lovely goal against Barcelona the other night too.

You must be concerned Mikel saw it and Alvarez will end up at Old Trafford
