And just pay him the money. Then hopefully get rid of the clause and allow us to get more than £25mil
He’s had 2 good games, let’s not start expecting him to all of a sudden be on par with Toby.
I disagree with Aurier being sold. Maybe KWP? Maybe he didn’t make the cut.i think that there was an issue where he reneged on a deal last year (@Hercules ITK IIRC).
Question is whether the on the field bygones be bygones is also an off the field reality.
If so, I think many fans would be fine if the winter saw some outgoings and new contracts for Toby, Eriksen and of course Verts and Dier.
One has to imagine that getting Janssen, GKN out would free up some money. We also know that Fernando, Dembele and Vorm are leaving this summer on frees (which creates wage space). Might also be time, if things are really tight, to get one of our 3 RBs out to raise some funds....my pref is Aurier is sold.
Surely that gives us enough room to lock down these key players.
Levy and Poch should hopefully have a desired baseline for the 20 or so players they want at the club at the start of next season. Lock those down and build from there:
Hugo, Gazza, KWP, Trippier, Toby, Juan, Verts, Davidson, Rose, Davies, Winks, Dier, Wanyama, Sissoko(!), Eriksen, Lamela, Son, Alli, Kane is 19 core players....they need to be kept at the club long term and then supplement with youth talent and perhaps one big summer pick up.
Should be doable and not break the bank
I too would like £150k/wk.
Schwarzenegger.Who!!?
I don't watch ham, is that the shite Austrian they got all excited about during our games with them recently?
He won't be a direct replacement, Sanchez is the replacement for him with Foyth 3rd choice.
I think Foyth has the potential to be a top class defender, played well on his debut despite the 2 pens which for one of them I don't entirely blame him for and had a MOTM performance against Palace.
He seems to be highly rated by Poch and has been called up by Argentina as well, I think we have a player on our hands that could go some way to replace Toby.
I guess that's fair comment if you want to concentrate on the 2 pen performance rather than the MOM performance straight afterwards.
