Yeah, he makes so much sense. And is probably in that tier of players I would’ve considered just out of reach. If we managed to get him in (and I think it’d be a good arrangement for both parties) then I’d be incredibly pleased.
My initial reaction was "ain't happening", but Schalke is a highly-motivated seller, McKennie very much wants to join the PL, and he isn't the most technical of players which might preclude a move to some of the big clubs at this point. So that reduces the pool of likely suitors...he'd make just as much sense for Spurs or Leicester however. Spurs in particular; he's Wanyama with an extra yard of pace and pogo-stick legs.
This is what i saw last night too., Signing KWP, Salisu and McKennie would prove a huge success this window. With the outgoing, Vestergaard, Hoedt, Lemina and Carillo.
I can also see Reed, Sims and some academy lads being let go.....and if we can get rid of big Fraz. Also on here plus side is JWP signing a new deal,and it looks like Bertrand is to sign as well.
I am not 100% sure if we will of load Vestergaard unless we can sign someone better. I agree that the other three will be off the books, though.
Yeah Reed, Sims and also Hesketh need to be let go now for the good of their careers., Will generate some decent cash too. Fraz im unsure of, But who knows. Yeah tying down Bertrand too would be decent, Also, Bednarek, Armstrong and Ings wouldn't go a miss either. Plenty to do for Ralph and the board.. But i do trust the process.
