Son and Romero probably two of our highest paid, so if they both leave there are well paid positions available for the right candidates, and if they both come with Frank that's probably fine on all sides - although I'd doubt if Collins would justify a top wage ?.

He's good but elite?
As far as I can see, the season just gone is the first time he's reached double figures since 2019, when he was in the Championship. His assists are ok, but for a bit of context, Johnson has 22 goals and 14 assists in all competitions (50 games). Mbuemo has 20 goals and 8 assists (41 games), yet Johnson gets dogs abuse on here.
I think it's a stretch to label Mbuemo as "elite."
I reckon he dons a snazzy little cape every timeLol at thisAirfixx geezer marauding through every thread try to quash any criticism of Levy or our stagnant transfer activity
It's the he/she John Thomas.
He's very good, potentially in time elite. The ideal spurs buy in terms of stage.
The difference with brennan needs to be whether he's good with the ball at his feet and creating, especially when we're controlling possession. Does anyone know?
Nathan Collins is not exactly the WOW moment that tells the fans that the new man wants to take us to the next level.
Given squad numbers, he'd be a Romero replacement as well.

Yeah, Nathan Collins isn't a Romero replacement.
Difficult to say really, unless you watch him week in week out. The stats only tell part of the story, but his don't really make you sit up and take notice, apart from the season gone which, as I've already posted are pretty much on a par with Johnson.
He may well go on to be elite, but he may well revert back to the norm, which has been pretty ordinary/poor previously.
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, as some players mature later than others. It's those that are insistent that we MUST have him that'll be the first wanting him pushed out the door if he doesn't set the World on fire.
I'm not saying pass on him, but I do have reservations on whether he's just had the season of his life and we end up buying a pup.
Was a great prospect. Not sure how he’s developed but if Frank wants to bring him I assume well enoughNathan Collins?
You can’t just look at the numbers when you analyse a player. Johnson has become a good predator from 6 yards out but he is virtually non-existent in build up play. Can’t dribble, can’t really pass or cross with any quality, doesn’t shoot from more than 10 yards out. He is not dangerous when in possession of the ball. Mbuemo is.
Gross. Yeah we need to be doing much better than that if Romero leaves.
Depends if it allows us to then get Mbeumo or Eze etc.
VDV, Danso, Dragusin, Collins is a stable enough base for Frank to build from.
Romero only came good near the end of season.
I remember all the games he was dashing out into midfield and not recovering on turnovers, leaving massive holes for the oppo to run into and people were absolutely furious when it led to goals.
Some interesting comments about him in reply to this tweet.

Player like Romero was absolutely crucial for what Ange wanted to do. He was a deep lying playmaker at time.
if settling for Collins also allows us to buy Branthwaite, I think that makes the squad better
Collins is just as good as Branthwaite. Surely you haven’t fallen for the Branthwaite propaganda have you? If we pay £70m for that just pack the club up and go home, it would be an egregious waste of funds.
Spot on , I’ll take Dragusin/ Danso at RCB if it means going stronger for a winger or midfielder who transforms the starting 11.
Danso and Dragusin are good centre backs who struggled in Ange’s system, I strongly suspect they will be far more effective in Frank’s setup.
A ball playing centre back was crucial in what was Angie’s system before he abandoned it a year ago, it is no longer an imperative and compromises must be made!
I would have said that before I knew Frank was coming, under Frank though absolutely no chance.
