thunderball Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Philogene arriving and Diaby to Saudi for £80m could be worse. I don’t want to see Diaby leave but it could be an understandable part of the process. If it meant Chiesa, Beier and Goncelves also arrived and alleviated PSR next summer then I would accept it as part of the chess game of positive progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It weakens the team, which isn't really what we want to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are 5 players (Chambers, Dendoncker, Digne, Moreno, Hause) over limit as it is. JPB gets an open slot for being club trained. So if we want to strengthen in areas that we are lacking, we going to have to sell some main players. Considering that we are stacked with wingers now, and there’s interest from Al-somewhere, Diaby is the easy make way. Id choose Buendia first, but being injured he has no interest or value right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So which players would you sell to make way? If you’re incline to buy more players? Duran is an easy one. Carlos too if we have a buyer (but then need a new CB). after that it’s a head scratcher for me. Considering we are stacked with wingers. It’s Diaby or Buendia for me, and diaby has the interest PSR isn’t really my issue, it’s the bloated squad. But if the Saudis are still overspending, We’ll make small PSR profit (to answer your question) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to sell Diaby, and I think he could storm this season - but he isn't currently in the starting 11. I do think that certain positions under Emery will always get minutes - he makes a lot of subs. Full backs (particularly LB when Digne and Moreno were fit), wide forwards, and the further forward CM always seem to subbed. As a result, I think he can keep a surplus of players in those positions fairly happy, with CL football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos - as you say. But we might incur a loss to lose him. Cash - because he is probably at his peak value, and I think we need to improve that area. Moreno and/or Digne - we appear to have cover here now, but can we sell without making a loss? Archer - if Unai doesn't rate him (and if he comes back), then he deserves a chance. Won't make much on him now though, given the buy-back price. After that - it's who we can sell for good money based on a combination of who else we have in the squad and what else we need. And I think Diaby might be the one, as much as it saddens me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it's one of Moreno or Digne for an extra player (Philogene). Then one in one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
