They say we could flog Benny Blanc for ?20-25m in the summer. No way.

Firstly, we need him. JT can play CH like he does for NL. I still think BW's a better crosser of the ball - look at that goal he made recently after Noni's sexy drag back and back heel.

But there is no way he should go for that amount. I wouldn't want to sell him for 50 mil.

When him, B and Odin play together at their best, they're unstoppable. When we've got the 8 defenders we have, why on earth would we want to change it. There's no way we'd be able to buy a player of BW's quality for anything less than 50m. We paid about 45m for Hinchappy {or will do} and he wasn't PL proven like BW.

I get he might want to be playing every week - like Yakob who said that with Gabby ahead of him, he'd never be a starter - but I don't want us to sell him cheap.

An English, PL and CL proven ball-playing CH, attacking RB and he was fine when he inverted into MF when Yakob was on the left and he still managed to get forward overlap.

At the risk of getting Peter started early, aren't we short of defenders AGAIN!

Calafiori, Mosquera confirmed out, Hchappie and Saliba face tests? So Timber, White, Gabriel and MLS with only the young fishy chap as depth on the bench?

Right. Even Livramento is out for months again now and we haven't even signed him yet :-\

He's not going anywhere, G. Haven't you heard; we've just signed a throw-in coach.

Certainly wouldn't flog him for half what we paid, he's a much better player now.

He's also 30 next year. Realistically he's never going to be a starter here and if he as aspirations to be one; we should let him go.

We are going to have to get better at selling two or three first team squad members every year (and replacing them of course) - it's what the big clubs do.

Well he's 29 this October. So 30 next year. Think he was about 23 when we signed him.
