With the fees going around - 15m touted for Andre Gray at Burnley, then if Ayew does go, we should be naming a price well in advance of 15m for him. He is worth that and more to us to help us back up.
Ayew, Amavi, Veretout as starters. Traore as potential.
Okore, Amavi, Veretout, Ayew, Grealish, Adama - first team. The rest happy to see moved on.
My big concern is losing players we don't want to in the summer. Garde's toughest task may be convincing them of the merits of the "project".There are wage reduction clauses in the event of relegation. Doubtless though, there are buy out clauses that go hand in hand with them.I imagine us putting a run together, and still going, being the worst of all world's. Players attracting attention they wouldn't have done otherwise etc.
I think the 'big, hard bastards for the Championship' is something of a myth. Recent seasons have seen the best football team win not the cloggers. How many teams have been promoted in recent seasons playing football the right way?
