    Well Everton want £50m for Barkley, Stones went for £50m and Pogba £90m. On that basis, you could argue that he's worth £60-£70m as he's levels above all three of them.

    Would it ? We would lose 3 players, and replace them with 3 lesser players (probably). It makes no sense to me to sell our best players in order to strengthen.

    At least it also shows that the Yanks won't cash in at the first sign of a good offer too.

    Would Llorente's replacement be a 'lesser' player? He's what, 33 now? Father time could hit him first game.

    Keeping Gylfi is crucial imo. But, if we could get, say £50m for Mawson and Llorente, I'd cash in on them.

    We should keep those and strengthen, but I doubt that would happen.

    Tbh, as long as Gylfi and Clement stay, there's no trouble of this happening imo. The man has the class to get us out of the $hite and Clement has shown he knows how to fire up the players when it's backs against the wall.

    £11m bid accepted apparently. He was poor last season, so that's not a bad bit of business imo.

    I dont like the idea of selling Cork , but there seems to be no room for him . He will play well elsewhere if he goes IMO but Mesa , Carroll , Siggy , Fer, Britton , and Ki will be tough for Cork to break through . Going to be our loss more than his..BUT 5 or 6 million profit will soothe the pain

    Ki also did better than Cork in the final run of games too, which surprised the hell out of me.
    Plus Fulton is still there.

    Wouldn't it be easier/cheaper for you to fly to America for a pre season game?
