50-60m… sell him. I love him but he’s not a consistent pl player anymore
I remain very skeptical Son would go to Saudi.
How comes?
If we get a mega offer it’s fine to move him on now but we would need to get a top class player to replace him. Not yet another young prospect or a cast-off from a big club. It needs to be an Eze/Bowen/Mbuemo level player.
This one million times. People decide they don't like a player because in their head he's reckless or chooses the national team over us and all of a sudden they can't see the wood from the trees.
£60m would be crazy money for Son. We'd have to take it.
He's given us 10 years service and has won a trophy with us. He would leave us as a club legend and we can use the money to get someone more effective on the left wing.
Bill Nick sold Jimmy Greaves to West Ham in part-exchange for Martin Peters in 1970. We traded an ageing striker for the best locksmith player in the game at that time. We went on to win 3 trophies in 3 seasons with Chivers and Gilzean banging in the goals.
Given his popularity and home region, he is a marketing bonanza that would be wasted in Saudi. Honestly a move to MLS would make sense—he would be box office for an American team in a big city.
I'd sell him for anything above 25m. The club were considering not even given him an extension and letting him go for free next summer. They'll take any offer!
Saudi can pay much more than that, they're after big name players like Son and will pay a lot for them.
You really do attempt to rewrite history at every opportunity don't you?
He was absolutely horrendous for the majority of the season and made EIGHT individual errors that resulted in goals. There was also issues where it was painfully obvious he was going to be fit for his national team despite being injured for a while with us ( I mean half the board predicted he would be fit a few days before Argentina played and that's what happened).
He does deserve massive praise for showing up when we needed him though. Conclusion is that he can't be trusted to be fit/motivated for the 'smaller' games but absolutely shows up when it's important games.
Why is Geuhi a replacement for Romero? Should buy him anyway and have a strong squad
prior to champions league qualification I think the plan was to not replace him and trust Danso to be a starter with Vuskovic/Phillips being a rotational player.
Maybe the plan has changed now though.
I hope the club would leave it to Son to decide. But any hint of acceptance might help Son make up his mind.
Depends if Son thinks he had more left in the tank. Doesn't give me the impression of someone who wants to chase the buck or go to some pointless league.
Buy and hold maybe, but buying first and then having the option to sell, if we have to would seem the best way.
Yes that would be the most likely scenario with Levy. Hence why I think it would be a massive set back to lose Romero.
You can be sure one of Danso and VDV will get injured for 3 months next season and we're straight back to Dragusin/Davies or ever Gray filling in every game.
Yeah hopefully. I'm just saying the club were considering letting him go for free next Summer so they would be willing to listen to any offers north of 20m I'd guess
We need strength in depth given CL football. The only players we should consider selling are those not good enough for the bench. Which are plenty.
Thing is, we can't continue being all these potentially good players and not give them an opportunity.
If say we sell Romero and replace him with Guehi then when will Vuskovic or Phlllip realistically get their chance? in 3 years time when we sell Danso? but then we decide we need another CB to replace him and the cycle continues.
Btw Dragusin isn't a bum. He's actually a good centre back that can't really play in an Ange highline but will probably look solid in any other system.
