Then again, it’s probably worth keeping Bogarde. His wages aren’t a problem and he has potential to develop further.

Always work keeping an emergency sacrifice to please the SCR gods around the place as well.

Keep Bogarde if we miss CL and sell Onana.  We will need to generate some cash to spend.  Buy Doug regardless and allow Barkley to leave on a free.

I'd make Doug permanent. Lost all love for him in his final season and gave him a look of haughty derision when he left but he now knows he can't play anywhere else but Villa Park, he's knuckled down, contributed, and done enough for that deal.

I'd swap him for Onana and 25m profit right now.

I think Emery will move on Bogarde if we get a reasonable offer. Not just for FFP/PSR etc reasons.

I think him and Tielemans are quite similar players, but would say the latter has been better for us and would be first choice if it came to it.
