I think Newcastle could do mate
They might make an offer, but not that sort of money. If they were going to bid that amount, it would have happened by now

Think they where trying to get another lad in from France but failed mate.
Think something like 45 up front 10 in add-ons is reflective of DCLs value (actually undercooking it) in today's market tbh mate.
When you have Broja touted at 30m unproven in this league, how much did they pay for woods last season?
If they want a proven premier league player who can act as a focal point and is young enough to get his best years out of, then not many better than DCL (caveat is the injury which is the only reason I'd sell - in our situation we can't take the risk it goes again - we need a reliable first 11)
We'd be absolute loons to even be contemplating selling DCL at this moment in time. We need to strengthen the forward area with a back up, not weaken it.
£20m for Wood - that was his release clause.
Maybe I'm naive but I don't see us selling DCL this window, and I don't think it's sensible after selling Richarlison. I'm more concerned with his injury problems. If we have longer term concerns about his availability then we might reluctantly have to look to cash in.

My biggest concern with selling DCL would be trusting this horror show of a club to reinvest the money, and then if they did trusting them to spend it on the right replacement.

My reasons for selling are a few mate.
If it allows the full fee to go back into strengthening the team with whatever we currently have in the pot.
If we can get a 'similar' player in cheaper with a lot of upside (Broja)
Our medical department has me terrified on its psst record with any major injury the player has never returned to whst he was pre injury and often repeatedly misses lots of time afterwards (something is not right there) Coleman, Gomes never looked the same both subsequently are in and out with knocks all the time for years since, Bolasie - finished afterwards, Gbanim finished afterwards, Mina just knock after knock after knock, (probably missed a fair few others there too) DCL coming back going out again coming back now being rested for precautionary reasons sets off big alarm bells for me.
I wasn't impressed by Broja last season, so wouldn't be happy if we sign him as a replacement. Unless there are clear injury concerns with Dom, then I see selling him as far too big a risk.
Yeah, lets sell Dom, then we can wait months while they try and replace him like Richarlison, that worked out wonderful for us didnt it.

what, and get sent off every two minutes, we don`t get away with `professionalism`. DCL is here to stay, that injury will have changed him and under Lampard i think we`ll see a revitalised Dom

Precaution or not it's worrying that we don't have a quality back-up for him. We can't rely on him to be fit unfortunately.
He does need to perform this season. We need to get more players who can create better chances, and he needs to stay fit. It was a precaution yesterday, as it was with Gray. They've had a hard slog in the US, a long flight back and then they trained on Saturday - they're all getting put through their paces so the last thing you want to do is then push them too much.
We stripped our side of any consistent creativity last season, that needs to change. Because if it doesn't, whoever we have playing up front isn't going to be able to score the goals required.
