Savona linked with Atalanta. Don't mind him leaving - has talent but I don't see him as a viable option at centre half or right back.

Yeah, he's no pressure on Aina at all.
Wasn't he injured for much of the season?
Probably more controversially, I see Morgan being linked with Spurs again. While I would love for him to extend his contract and stay here for all of the prime years of his career, I do wonder whether now is his peak value and, if we are going to sell, this summer is the time to do it. Obviously if Anderson is going, that complicates matters as replacing our two main players in the same summer would be a big ask.
Got injured some point after Christmas I think but he's not going to be any quicker or more comfortable on the ball when he gets back.
Would be too much to rebuild I reckon. Though we will have to sell some high value assets as we progress, we need to balance that with improving the core squad. Previously I though Gibbs White over rated as he wasn't delivering on goals and assists. He absolutely is now. Id like that for another couple of seasons
How long does his contract run for?
Has he got three years left or only two?
Edit; Just looked it up, it's two years. So we are in that position where we need to extend again or sell now to avoid getting a much reduced value next year.
And I see our replacement, Hayden Hackney, is now being linked with Man U as a replacement for Elliot, given United have pulled out of a bidding war (and apparently no movement from Citeh above £80m)
Tell them we'll take £90m and get it done. Better we get our recruitment done early and don't miss out on targets than extract another £20m IMO.
I don't think we're going to take a massive haircut on Anderson's price because we're worried about missing out on an unproven player from the Championship.
Not so much that transfer particularly, more our whole "plan". What we certainly don't want is him breaking his leg at the WC, or it going down to the wire giving us no time to get replacements in.
I know we could get our business done first, but it's a gamble then as people will know we need the money to meet PSR and, again, he might suffer a bad injury.
We do not need the money to meet PSR again. For a start, PSR is no more and is being replaced by wage bill as % of revenue, and Anderson's wage is not significant (in EPL terms, or relative to his skills and value).
I think it highly unlikely that he or anyone else is sold prior to the WC.
Rumours that Cucurella wants to leave Chelsea and go to Europe. Off you fuck then Bob.
Hopefully Northern Finland.
Die Bart die.
