Trezeguet is sidelined, Buendia missed the last 2 friendlies, Bailey is in isolation and hasn't even trained with the team and our starting left sided player has just swanned off to City. If you sell El Ghazy now who is there as a viable wide option? As much as people might not like it, he's needed right now. Also I know Philogene-Bidace has had a very good pre season and he's the one people would probably suggest ahead of El Ghazy, but it's very different performing in the Premier League to friendlies. What happens if he's chucked in with no alternatives if he isn't playing well? You negatively affect the team and his confidence. I know I'm in the minority on this thread, but £17m or not, I don't see the benefit to selling Anwar, especially not imminently. If a bid comes in for him anywhere near 17m, we will sell, and rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily, it depends what value we could get regarding our finances and the team versus what we'd lose. People can argue El Ghazy's general play and impact all day long, but the fact is he got us 10 Premier League goals last season. The management would have to weigh up if they can replace him and that with better, and depending on how the remaining budget was split, could we concievably replace that with better for £17 million. That's for the scouts and coaches to decide, but in this market I think you'd struggle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect Mourinho signing. He tracks back, works hard, covers his full back, completely anonymous some games yet somehow still scores goals. Expect it to be 17million including some ambitious addons. Probably be more like 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post maqroll Posted August 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2021 If you had told me last August that a year later we'd be selling AEG to Roma, I'd have laughed. This would be great business even though I'd be sad to see him go, he's been a player I really liked to support and was thrilled whenever he did well. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted August 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2021 11 minutes ago, sne said: Can't really see Roma affording El Ghazi now that they are spending £34m on Tammy but. Not sure how much they get from selling Dzeko to Inter but not that much I imagine. Dzeko to Inter not sure, nothing trustworthy about the fee yet, just gossip stuff about Dzeko saying he'll talk abotu the move once it's done and sort of implying he's been pushed out rather than the probable truth that he's jumped at the chance of playing up there. All I've seen is he'll get €5.5m over two years up there and that there is probably a small fee for the transfer with bonuses based on how well they do in the Champions League. Tammy I've seen something saying €5m up front and then €35m over the next few years. Freidkin and the new board have been saying it'll be a quiet summer all along and that they have no cash but with Abraham and Shomurodov as the striking options it's probable that Mourinho might want a winger who can actually cross 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beastmix Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 2 hours ago, PaulC said: Quite true but Ings could potentially get us 20 league goals this season and if Watkins with his work gate can get another 15, then as long as we get our defensive side of our game right the potential of finishing top 6 is good. It's not likely they'll BOTH get those numbers, playing at the same time. It's not really how it works, is it? ...and to address the 'both players need to start' comments, I'm just of the belief you can't be shoe-horning players into a starting XI just because they're new. If we play 4-4-2, then fine, but if we play the same system as last year, rotation would be better IMO. On the other hand, it would allow us to take one off mid-game to change up the formation, which I do see the positives of too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacement first in is a must otherwise I fear it will backfire. We have Buendia, Bailey and Ashley Young who can all play that position, and all play it better than Anwar in my opinion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
