Get both Brooks & Olise.Neither as far as I’m concerned.
olise performed much better statistically than brooks and doesn’t have the injury issues.
danjuma is a bit hit and miss

I actually think the opposite. I think Lucas, Lamela, Aurier will be relatively easy to get off the books. Winks, Sissoko, Dier are the ones who I imagine will cause us the most headaches.
I think Lamela/Aurier will be straight forward given their contract situations and the clubs they're linked to. I think Winks probably wants to leave doesn't he from what we've heard. Moura as I said, I hope he's looking to move on but can see it being difficult as reckon we have a high value on him. I think Sissoko and Dier will be impossible to move They're the first 2 on my list for people to leave.
Lamela apparently going back to Italy this summer. What could we get for him? £15-18m?
Use the money to go and buy Olise from Reading.
Should be an absolute no brainer.
I think Erik's contract expires next year + all his injuries, I can see a deal around £9-11m for him. Should be enough for Olise.
Out: Sissoko, Winks, Dele, Dier, Lamela, Lucas, Aurier. That should be able to net us about £110m. Not renewing Bale's loan adds another £12m(if we use his wages toward the transfer budget). So let's say 122m. I'd look to sell Davies too which could get us about £15-20m. So let's go best case scenario is £140m. Then you got Foyth going for £15m, CCV possibly, Gazzaniga possibly. Maybe about £160m total.
In: Skriniar - £50m, Aarons - £25m, Grealish - £75m, Sabitzer - £40m, Olise - £15m. Total £200-205m. Would require a net spend of £40-60m but honestly, that is probably what needs to happen for us to have any shot of hopefully getting us back up there competing. And it would be MORE than worth it if we win something and it convinces Kane to want to stay. Probably have to get a backup striker in January though.
Lloris
Aarons Skriniar Alderweireld Reguilon
Ndombele Hojbjerg Sabitzer
Son Kane Grealish
Hart, Rodon, Tanganga, Sessegnon, Skipp, GLC, Olise, Bergwijn, Scarlett/Parrott
I can understand the reservations over Grealish.
He's absolutely a bit of an off-field drama, as we've seen, so there's an underlying behavioural thing. He also plays for his boyhood team, as the captain, and isn't really ever in a situation where he'd find himself out of the team.
I don't know what money he's on, but it's far from guaranteed that he'd have a big move and still crack on as per before. He wouldn't be the first or last to go from big fish in little pond, to expensive turd. We'll probably find out at some point, but it's logical to have reservations.
Pretty sure he’s a combative holding midfielder, not elegant but effective.@SlumDilla What type of midfielder is Zakaria, if I remember correctly I think JJ said we looked in the past but we decided it wasn’t a host.

I get the feeling that Winks has high a estimation of his value and skillset, so much so, that he's most likely to have a Danny Rose moment with Levy and say something absurd like "Have Madrid or Barca made contact about me?"
Unfortunately, we don't do no-brainers!Lamela apparently going back to Italy this summer. What could we get for him? £15-18m?

To be honest, I think the animosity towards winks currently stems from the ITK about him being a trouble maker behind the scenes.It saddens me when our own fans become ugly to our own players and more so players who have come through our ranks. There's one thing a player having limitations as a player and making mistakes vs players who are mercenary in their nature and give half hearted performances when they bothered eg Ndombele on occasion.
I'm always then amazed when a star player wants to leave and we go on about loyalty etc...honour your fucking contract you signed etc etc etc. Winks might be a limited footballer but he tries.
I know I'm responding to your post but it's truly not meant to attack your post it's just one of many I see and have meant to reply on it. I see so many posters do this...especially to home grown or players having been here for some years.
