I just remember the string of players that Fosse was adamant would never be sold, under no circumstances, and one by one they all got sold <laugh>

Mahrez, Demari Gray, Chilwell, Fofana, Maddison, Tielemans, Harvey Barnes, Dewsbury-Hall.... have I missed any ?

Like you say, once these players have played in the PL, very few are likely stick around and wait for Ruud to build the next version of Ajax's total football away on a Tuesday evening at Hull

Nice story ... but the reality is that Mahrez had to wait 2 more years for the transfer he wanted ... Fofana downed tools - we didn't want to sell ... Barnes and Maddison were inevitable after relegation - we didn't sell Tielemans <doh>

You are rather crap at this stuff Ponks <laugh>

Lol that's some grade A straw clutching Fos <laugh>

This is the same Barnes and Maddison who you were never gonna sell right ? and if it was inevitable after relegation, why are you so adamant that Mavididi and Fatawu won't be sold this time ?

I doubt anyone will take a punt on Fatawu given he's had a long term injury tbf. Don't know much about Mavdidi.

Two of them had 37 goal involvements combined last season - Futawu did his ACL on International duty - is now back in training but won't be risked this season ...

Mavididi was great in the Championship but has lost confidence... no reason he won't get his mojo back

Looking forward to next season as I think (hope) we'll ship out dross and play some of the current U21s ...

We'll also cash in on El Khanouss and Hermandsen... a shame with the former but we have an excellent young keeper, Stolarcyk, who deserves an opportunity to be No 1...

Fosse has said neither will be sold, so that's basically given them the kiss of death lol

Tidy finish from Trossard at Goodison btw
