SSN reporting Marseille have triggered a £7.1m release clause for Gana

That's less than we paid for him isn't it?  Surely even the previous set up wouldn't have been that stupid?

I don't think what we paid for him was ever officially disclosed. Figures of between £7m and £10m were mooted, so it could be what we paid.

Gana wants out and he's bang average as it is. Take the money and re-invest it in the squad.

Goodbye Gana. Thanks for very little. Let's use the 7.1M wisely.

I would use the Gana money to get in Hendrick from Derby. Rumoured to be wanting £6-7m for him.

I'm not usually bothered when our players are signed by continental clubs, since they can't immediately come back to haunt us. I'm bothered even less when they're mediocre.

Yeah I think he'd be a good addition.

Gana's stats are good but I just see him as another Reo-Coker.

Someone who can win it and then is pretty hopeless on the ball and gives it away. Shooting is woeful also.

A shame as in his first few weeks he looked a very decent replacement for D*lph.

As much-maligned as he is Sanchez will probably be o.k in the DM role in the championship.

It's been whispered that he wants out, so if he doesn't want to be here then it's best for all concerned that he doesn't stay at the club. He failed to impress after a promising start so he won't be a big loss and can be replaced by someone better.

Another in the take the money camp here.  That fee probably means with clauses he's wiped his feet and the fact that he will be back in Ligue 1 means the off chance that he becomes great, we won't be getting it rubbed in our face!

I'd rather have Reo-Coker than Gana.

I'd like to see Sanchez in the Championship. He was pretty hopeless in the PL all in all, but the reduction in quality and pace may allow him to catch his breath and compose himself.

Yeah I agree with this. Never impressed me at all, and I've often been left scratching my head in disbelief at some of the praise he received on here. Ship him out and invest the money in better players. Hopefully we'll be seeing the rubbish amassed over the last 6 years thrown out.

For sale.
A central midfielder with no goals, no assists, few shots, with even fewer on target.
Rarely heads the ball, rarely runs with the ball.
Good at intercepting though.
Bargain at £7.1m.
