I wonder whether Cherki would be played as a 10 or on the right as he looks the type that could play any of the forward positions but also the type that Emery likes to use as a 10.

Aye, he looks like a younger, cheaper Asensio.

What might save Ramsey is that we don't have many home-trained players in our European squad.

If we do sign Cherki, hope he doesn't turn into a turkey.

If anyone needs to be sacrificed, I think it would be JJ.

Id be looking to build the team for next year around Rogers and Ramsey. The most important thing this season was for Ramsey to prove his fitness which he has done, operating in about third gear. We are a far more balanced team when he plays on the left.

I don't see the point of selling Ramsey. We know he's got several levels still to reach (and the ability to get there) but I don't think he's done enough recently to make anyone pay big money for him.

From a PSR perspective, anything we would get for JJ would be total profit

Sadly, the system encourages selling Academy players.
Iniquitous, but that's the consequence of a system designed by the Greedy6  to repel challenges from other clubs.

We’ve got plenty of players who are so close to pure profit you might as well call them that. Cash, Martinez, Konsa, McGinn, Mings, Watkins to name half-a-dozen. Bailey and Buendia only slightly less so. Rogers would make a huge profit due to his progress and negligible fee, like Duran.

KKH, Bogarde, Tielemans, Kamara also fall into the Ramsey category of 100%.

We’re in a strong position regarding PSR assets.

I know it was Rory who said ‘fuck Duran’ but I can’t remember which thread. Anyway, he’ll enjoy this:

That's what £500k a week (or whatever ridiculous pay he's making) gets you.

It’s seems to be every time I log on here one of threads is us trying to flog one of our stars.

Can we please keep Emi, Ramsey and co and stop being so bloody silly!

I'm surprised we haven't tried to fuck William off (and George).

Was at an event tonight with Alan Evans, Dennis Mortimer, Colin Gibson and Kenny Swain.

Apparently Emery is EXTREMELY interested in Adam Wharton from Palace
