I've got no idea why he wants to leave, or where he wants to go, so in that sense, there is no point keeping an unhappy player, especially one who is one of, if not our biggest earner.

There's no firm evidence that he does want to leave though is there?
No footballer ever says they want to leave these days, cos they know they'll miss out on their "loyalty" bonuses when/if they do leave.

I guess it's all about who you believe/trust, personally I think he wants off, but I don't think Watkins or Ramsey do want to leave, we'll find out soon enough, I didn't think Barcelona would go near Rashford, but there you go !!

They don’t mind saying it. They only lose loyalty bonuses if they put it in writing.

Linked with El Khannouss from Leicester. I like him. Only 21, lots for Unai to work his magic on there.

I've said on here many times that I really rate Ramsey and think he has a high ceiling, but £50m and I'd have to be starting to think that would tip the balance into being a good sell?

Forgive my thickness - income being received from player sales - not what we have spent?

My exact words to the lads at work was i think your about 20 million out as he's a much better player than Gibbs white a d they laughed at me

It's said that Garnacho is better on the right.

Whichever he plays, we would still be a winger light. Unless Unai can coax 2023 Bailey back out of his shell.
Emery won't play 2 out-and-out wingers; hence why Ramsey, Rogers, Malen and McGinn will have a role to play on the other side to a full-on winger.

It highlights what a good job Dean Smith did to keep us up with what was a pretty ragtag squad that first year back.

Yeah. People here suggesting that Leeds could turn their nose up at Calvert-Lewin or Wilson. We spent the second half of that season with Mbwana Samatta as our main striker.

And Borja Baston as back up.

I like Ramsey but Gibbs-White is excellent. Ramsey is a £30-£40m player given his injury record that has led him to be a bit in and out the team whereas GW is a £60m player. That’s not to say I’d be happy selling Ramsey for <£40m, I just think that’s probably a fair market value.
