No one has money to buy Regullion, GLC, Ndombele, Winks, maybe a prem club would buy Rodon.
Someone in Spain will offer us 10 mil + bonuses for Reggy or GLC...or we'll use them as bit-part in an exchange and that's about the value both clubs will agree on.

Winks, I can see a Forest-type going in for him. He's still young, good PL and European experience, ENG international...and cause he's desperate to play in the Prem again, I reckon he wouldn't be after humongous wages.

Rodon will have suitors too...bottom of the league, promoted teams.

But Ndombele? Fuck me, that's the tough one. For sure we gonna lose no less than 75% of the money we paid for him. But even if we agreed to sell him for say 15 mil, who'd want to pay his massive wages for him to play 10 mins?! I reckon only PSG are stupid enough.

Reggy has played 4 league games this season. Zero fucking chance anyone takes him on a free, let alone 10M. We will have to pay these losers to leave and offset their reduced wages
 
Yes, bonus points for that, but I'm still not convinced he is - or will be - at that level we need.

Maignan would be my preferred choice, but I doubt he's gonna leave AC this summer...and if he did, there's no doubt he'd have more appealing options than us (mainly Bayern and Utd...even Newcastle, cause they'd pay the higher wages). His injury record worries me a bit too, but might just have been bad luck.

You just made that up.......

They won't, we have been trying to rid of those two for ages, option to buy is the best we can do. But you know what I'm coming around to the idea of recalling them, maybe a new manager could do something with them. Agree on all the rest.
 
France looked great yesterday. Nearly everyone in the squad is 23-26 years old (apart from Griezmann, Rabiot, Giroud and the keepers) so there’s a lot of progression to come from the group too.

Here are some great young players who haven’t had a cap yet.

Islam Meslier - Leeds. Coming up for 2 years left on contract. If Leeds go down then I think we should go for him. Capped at U21.

Lucas Chevalier - Lille’s first choice keeper this season and he’s just 21 (he was 20 at the start of the season).

Mohamed Simikan - very physical, aggressive centreback. Similar to Romero but not as good on the ball. Would love him as a Dier replacement. Maybe the one player on this list I would most like.

Anthony Rouault - I don’t know what’s happening in France but it’s centreback after centreback. 21 year old at Toulouse and already got 76 appearances. He needs one more club before he’s ready for a big club. I’d like to see him go to Germany.

Manu Koné - 21 year old CM. Starter for Borussia Mönchengladbach. We don’t need a CM desperately… he’s a bit too similar to Bissouma but with a touch of Ndombele’s dribbling. I think he will become a top player in a couple of years. High energy box to box and in the 99th percentile for successful dribbles in top 5 leagues. He’s excellent on the ball but also off the ball - second only to Jude Bellingham for duels won in Bundesliga.

Khephran Thuram - dm at nice but has been played at 10. Got his first cap for France yesterday. Not a position we need. Will shine somewhere else. Would make a great replacement for the rapist at Woolwich.

Desiré Doué - next big thing out of Rennes. They are playing really great football and he is a big part of that. He’s 17. I think we would ruin him so I’d rather he go to Real Madrid in 2024.

Two other 17 year olds, Mathys Tel (Bayern) and Zaïre-Emery (PSG) are already destined to only play at super clubs.

Maghnes Akliouche - talented attacking midfielder. Not getting enough minutes at Monaco and wants a move.

Khalil Fayad - this guy passed a baccalaureate so he’s smart for a footballer. Who cares but it shows he’s probably got a good support system which many other french talents don’t (like his teammate Eye Wahi). He’s France U21 captain too so he seems like a leader. He’s still just 18 but has appeared in 19 out of 28 games for Montpellier this season and has two assists. He is a central midfielder but with more attacking than defensive tendencies (whereas our midfield currently has central midfielders more comfortable defending). I don’t think I’ve seen his name mentioned as a wonder kid but he is one to watch.

Alan Virginius - 20 year old winger at Lille. Needs another 18-24 months to play and grow but he’s at a good club for it. He is right footed but plays off the left wing. If we sold Son in 2024 then he would be a good replacement. But I’d rather give Gil a chance!!

Rayan Cherki - My most controversial take. The guy is 19 and plays regularly for Lyon as an attacking midfielder. 3 goals and 4 assists. He’s playing for France U21 against England U21 today. Sell Kane if he doesn’t want to sign a new contract and bring this guy in if we get a manager committed to youth.

There’s too many good young players bouncing around. You can also watch Enzo Le Fée and Kalimuendo later against England U21. Both with good stats in ligue un.
I think Desire Doué is the next big think in football. He looks to play a bit of a more advanced role than Bellingham, but his ceiling is similar in my opinion.

Also, kind of insane how LOSC managed to replace Maignan with an even better GK who's even younger.

Reguilon will come back, and so will Rodon.


Ndombele will most likely be sold to Napoli for a low fee, Winks has impressed at Sampdoria so a move to another Serie A side is on the cards.

GLC is a mystery. Wouldn't be surprised if the next manager would want to take a look at him.
 
If £30m is what it’ll take to get Raya then let’s do it.

Would be the most important long term upgrade by a country mile.

I’d prefer Rodon in the squad over Sanchez tbh.
