Hernandez quite obviously wants to go back to Italy and he wouldn’t command anywhere near £60k a week, he’ll be on about £25k with us at the moment.
Players out of contract at the end of this season - Aina (Loan), Clark, Dawson, Diomande, Hector (Loan), Hernandez, Larsson, Lenihan (1 year option), McGregor, Meyler, Odubajo, Tomori (Loan).
The accountants will have to bring in plenty of quantity next season (job advert: do you want to play league 1 football? We are offering up to £200pw for players willing to sign a 1-year contract*. No experience necessary). *The position is a 1-year contract with no chance of extension (the company will not exist beyond that point).
You been drinking already Chazz? To play for Allardyce means your lad would play in the prem? would you deny him that?
Why do you say he obviously wants to go back to Italy? Did he ever win anything in Italy? He has had his best days at City and his best paydays. Ehab needs to press him to sign another 2 years IMO.
He will command more than you think (Not £60k) in the UK as they won't have a transfer fee to pay. To get a striker of that quality used to the English leagues you are looking at £15m, as he will be free he will be able to demand a lot more in wages.
That's why when he went for talks with Villa he asked for £80k a week. They'll be a tonne of championship clubs offering him £40k at the very least especially without the huge transfer fee
