If we were to sign him I can see us loaning him out to RB Salzberg for the ayear as part of the deal. For the good of the development of the player it would be for the best but it wont solve our current striker "issues"
I think Murphy could be sold on tbh - Miggy seems to have Howe's trust, ASM is a sure starter, Fraser is good cover but Murphy is probably 4th choice Winger and 4th choice RB as well behind Trippier, Manquillo and Krafth. The lads also only 19 so doesn't have to be registered. Free's up space elsewhere e.g. Defence - we have 6 FB's and Fede and Lascelles making 5 CB's at present so could allow more of them to be registered.
My main issue is that we aren't doing this enough, so I'm DELIGHTED with this business. It's too obvious to say "ooooh, look at Diaby, he's had a great season let's buy him." Other clubs do it far, far better than we do - Leeds with Raphinha, Philips, Harrison, Wolves with Neto, Jota, Jimenez, Leicester with Soyuncu, Mahrez, Vardy, Kante, etc. We have to be in this area for now if we want to be truly sustainable and progressive. So, yeah, I don't know who he is. But he's a 19 year old, highly regarded, on the same path as full German International Adeyemi, Haaland, Auba, etc. This is exactly who we should be getting. I'd rather we get him, Doku, Madueke and so on to come in and support the team and learn. I think Isak could be immense, but at £70m?! I'd rather pick up 7 x £10m youngsters to really bulk out the next gen quality 'cos apart from Anderson and maybe White/Turner-Cooke there's **** all there.
Each squad contains no more than 17 players who do not fulfil the "Home Grown Player" (HGP) criteria. The rest of the squad, up to a total of 25 players, must be "Home Grown". Each club squad list is below as well as an additional list of each club's registered Under-21 players who are eligible over and above the squad limit of 25 players.
