You don't need to be sold to be worth 60mil. Ollie Watkins went from a 20 mil championship player and he's worth 60 mil now despite staying at Villa, Bowen is probably worth 50 mil off the back of a 20 mil championship sale, Gyokeres has an 80 mil price tag but is probably not going to be sold as he's a 60 mil player. There's been plenty of players that were the best in the championship who went on to be very valuable. If Sara performs in the CL for Galatasaray and proves himself as one of the best in Europe then he's a 60 mil player even if he doesnt get sold. On the other side we spent £11m on Okoli, £15mil on Faes, Kristiansen, Souttar etc but the price we paid for them doesnt mean it's their value.

Based on what? He got 13 goals 12 assists last season despite being Norwich's deepest midfielder for the first half of the season. There aren't many players even in top flight football with the same skillset as him. His passing, shooting and set piece delivery are all excellent.

Poor player for a poor player. Abraham isnt the same player he was at Chelsea and Aston Villa, he's lost all confidence now.

No PL club was interested enough in Gyokeres and look how that turned out. Could easily be the same situation with Sara where he's worth £20mil now and £60mil come Christmas time. Arguably the best player in the championship last season.

This would be fine if the senior players were performing well but Cordova Reid did not look comfortable at all playing centrally. When things aren't working it's better to try players out in pre season rather than looking for an answer midway through. He should at least give Alves or Golding a proper run out at least.

Bologna being the well run club that they are seem to have nailed their valuation of him. About half of what we paid for him, honking business.

I assume you're talking about promoting youth? If so i'm with you on that one, it feels like he's doing a Rodgers and not giving Golding or Alves a proper runout to make it look like we have fewer options than we do in order to force through transfers.

How is cordova reid still on? He's done very little, at least give golding or alves a chance to show what they can do. Edit: assumed it was ndidi who came off for choudhury

Hopefully we see Will Alves in that 10 role at some point.

The majority of Mavididi's career has been as a second striker. He's best in and around the box, not on the wing.

They reportedly wanted to buy him for £7mil, rather than the 15 mil option. Considering the fact he finished top four with them they clearly dont value him particularly highly.

I think our starting fullbacks next season should be Justin and Ricardo, there's a reason no one wants to buy Kristiansen despite starting in a CL side last season.

Just because we need both doesnt mean we will get both. Considering we havent had concrete links with a midfielder yet it looks like we see Soule/Asprilla as our KDH replacement.

It's unlikely that we get an ACM on top of this guy. It will be one or the other and if I had to choose i would pick a natural ACM rather than a player who's more natural on the wing.

Why is our priority position a RW who can also play CAM? Please can we just target an actual midfielder.

Leeds are never a shoe in to go up. Considering they've lost summerville they could easily do another 5 years in the championship.

If Leeds get him that would be shocking. He is exactly what we need and he would clearly prefer to make the step up to the PL rather than another team in the championship. If he goes there it would mean that we arent even looking at him seriously as a target which would be very worrying.

Good decision to move on from this. Arsenal have always overpriced their players, only now that they are successful are teams willing to pay the price for their cast offs.

Idrissa Guede, Digne and Fellaini are their other big sales cant imagine the rest total to 300 mil.

It will be cool to see Jordan Ayew training in person.

I'm pretty sure we would all take Summerville and I think he was kicked out of his previous club for assaulting a coach.

Played alongside Mavididi apparently.

We have the highest wages to turnover ratio though. Edit: or we did the last few seasons in the PL at least.

Hatate is more of a creative player who will take a lot of risks with the ball and is quite weak defensively according to his transfer thread. Alves could interchange with that profile arguably.
