No takeover I agree. Even with the takeover the centre of the park must take precedence over all others. Personally I like Manq, I think he is the type of squad player I'd always keep. He's never gonna have great resale value, but he will always give 100% and do a fairly solid job. Murphy if we can't get decent money would be similar but not as good. If we aren't targeting a destroyer and ball player this summer, I question if anyone at our club actually understands football. Its killing us. I'd be worried about the French kid but beggars can't be too choosey. Willock is obviously the one we want, but you could argue we need Willock plus a ball player because Willock ain't gonna put his foot on the ball and run games. That's not his strength. We'd probably have to ship a Longstaff though and that seems unlikely.
I think there is a classic misused saying in relation to your material, and your weiner claims. Thou doth protest too much
I would test the water for Hudson Odoi if we are selling ASM. He'd be a good signing and he never gets a look in. He'll be another Loftus Cheek if he ain't careful.
Out of the players that appear to be “available” which one(s) Lemina Willock (obviously we want him back right) Gallagher Kamara And would you let Hayden go to get one or more of the above? As for ASM. I can’t see Rafa wanting him! Not his type.
Ashley offered him an 8 year deal with the proviso that Joelinton would be signed. Rafas team said that if Joelinton is signed, they could only agree on a 1 year deal. They never responded.
He signed off on ASM, all the paperwork was done a few weeks before Rafa left. It was actually said that when Rafa left, the deal was in jeopardy as they wished to work together.
Pete graves has been sniffing around and reported rafa is after gray, andros Townsend and mcneil.... No mention of any interest in max
