With whom??

With whom??

I was waiting for that.

My colleague said, is that so we can charge Madrid more?

It should certainly do that.... there may come a point where his transfer value is worth more to us than him.

These things will happen; I gather we need to do better in the Net Spend League.

We actually do want to eventually end up in a position where we sell some of our best, favourite players at their peak and at a decent age and for good money, in order to improve as team. What about if Saka or Saliba have done all they can for us, for instance, and we decide we can do better. Shouldn't be a problem. As a newly-minted billionaire club, we get to make lots of painful, expensive mistakes. We no longer have to be sentimental about players, or even managers, staying with us for life.

Exactly. It is fine to lose one of your best players if the money allows you to improve the team.

Wasn?t that the plan at Spurs when Levy sold Kane ?

We've got the best CH pair on the planet. That's why Big Gabby signed a new deal after Willy came into the team. We were worried about Willy, B and Gabby M signing cos they were now under 2 years to go at that point. Gabby had an extra year but chose to sign straight away when we weren't thinking about it.

Cos he knew he wouldn't get a better partner than Willy, they complement each other perfectly. That's why he's signed again already. And look at Willy's pass to Leo last night.

We have such great squad depth but the injury's that costing us atm in Kai while Vik learns how to play with us. {Esp. with Jeez out, too.}

I think that's why he played MnM up top last night with 2 no.10s. I liked that. MnM could drop into MF like Kai does and get involved, but we still had creativity with both wingers having their own inside forward to work with.

2 great passes from him last night - one from the edge of the box for Easy's shot and one beautiful through ball from our own half that sent Gabbygol clear.

I have no problem with him playing as a false 9 if we have 2 no.10s.

I've long wanted an no.10 on both sides to work with the winger and the FB. But with Dec and Zubi, I think MA wants his double pivot. {Even though we have a FB inverting into MF.}

Who do you think could be on the sale list (for the right price)? Aside form the obvious Martinelli/Trossard/Jesus.

White?
Lewis-Skelly?
Odegaard?

I think Jesus is worth nothing. We'll struggle to get rid of him at all. Ben White and Odegaard are slowly making their way towards that list......

More money, and he can still leave whenever he wants. Clever guy

The First Hundred Million Pound Centre Back.

The first two hundred million player can't be too far off either. Wonder who it'll be, maybe someone playing now.
