Stick him on the bench for a season.
Let's say we paid half his wages. It's only gonna save us around £2.5m. Why not just say, for that he can sit on the bench and cover major injuries?

We are short in the middle of the park. Assuming we go Garner, Onana, Doucoure. We only have Gana to cover. Maybe Iwobi. Gomes could just sit on the bench for a year and be the 3rd replacement. It looks like attack is our priority this summer, so gives us breathing space till next summer.

I think the same tbh. If we can get any money for him we have to take it, but if the only option is to loan him out and pay half his wages just use him for the squad, basically fill Davies’ slot.

We know his limitations but in a 451 he could have some utility as a backup. We’ll need cover during AFCON for sure.

The problem with using him as cover is that he needs two midfielders with real motors behind him defending, and he would be covering those players.
