definitely a better player than Davies. but his injury record and the HG status are concerns so cash in
We as a fan base need to stop thinking like accountants. We’re not Leicester City / Bournemouth / Watford. We’re one of the richest football clubs in the world. We should keep the best players to give us the best chance of on field success rather than selling the player with the highest market value.And - I don't want any player standing in the way of Udogie!!
(but its mostly a numbers game, and Reguilon probably has the most value right now)
To be fair, many of our incomings have been loans with options...Loan and option to buy...of course lol
A least with us the other clubs knew we will pay the money as we can afford to do so. Bit tired of all spanish teams taking cheap loans and then step away from any permanent deal.To be fair, many of our incomings have been loans with options...

The real problem is that no PL clubs are interested. The league is unbelievably competitive now and we can no longer expect to shift our deadwood to mid-lower PL clubs.A least with us the other clubs knew we will pay the money as we can afford to do so. Bit tired of all spanish teams taking cheap loans and then step away from any permanent deal.
But probably better to agree to these deals than keep the players...
We just need bodies out the door, by hook or by crook.Can't wait for him to return in another 12 months...
Needs to be an obligation or straight sale - even if we have to take a £5m hit on him.
I agree, but its also wages that hamper Spanish teams, as with the exception of the two big boys, the rest of the league can't match or better the wages of premiership players.This is the thing. All these clubs are skint. They just loan our dead wood until they eventually afford to sign them for a nominal fee or on a Bosman.

Absolutely - SC has spent all week going "FFS Levy just accept anything to get bodies out the door" only to turn its nose up when they see what actually is on offer.We just need bodies out the door, by hook or by crook.
Not ideal again these terms but we are at the point where we need to take what's given.
I suppose the optimist in me thinks if we get loans for some of our players until the ends of their contracts then they atleast dont cost us anything (as long as we get their wages covered)A least with us the other clubs knew we will pay the money as we can afford to do so.

How comes they've got such little money?
