Selling Onana won't generate much in the way of profit (because his book value is high), and we lose a percentage of any profit to Lille. In addition to that, we have other midfielders going out of contract who frankly we don't want back... So we lack the depth to sell Onana without creating a problem in terms of player numbers.
Selling Pickford is an utterly deranged move for a club in our precarious position. We have no quality backup so we'd have to buy a replacement and that might take a significant portion of the fees raised by selling Pickford in the first place.
The player we should be looking to sell is DCL. Low book value, will start to see his value decrease in about 18 months time (due to age) and whilst we can debate how good they are we do at least have Beto and Chermiti to play up front. Given the fees allocated to buy both of them we should be playing them. No need to rush out to immediately buy a replacement.
DCL £40m
Holgate £5m
Keane £5m
Doucouré £10m
Maupay £10m
Those are your sales this summer.
Gomes, Alli, Danjuma, Harrison all leave.
Gana I would re-sign.
Coleman and Young sadly are at the end of the road.
Need to bring in:
