That would mean even less pace in our forward line.

I would be disappointed in losing Ramsey, after finally getting fit and coming into some form .  He is still young and I think still can improve

we would miss his athleticism

I'd sell for £45m.

The inevitable question is then, who would you buy as replacement?

Garnacho offers the things the squad lacks, namely pace (and ugly).  He appears to be flirting with Chelsea though.  Consequently i wonder whether a punt on Neto is viable.  Probably a better player and hasn't been injured in a while.

Almost certain they'll target a player based in Europe that I've never heard of, and therefore avoid the PL tax.

I really like Neto and think he’d flourish here but at Chelsea I reckon he’ll go backwards.

Played pretty well for Chelsea last season. One of their better recent signings.

We do need pace, I’m not sure it’s key in the role Asensio plays. It’s more about finding space and finding passes there.

Think we’d likely need to sell Buendia to get that to happen. I’d certainly take that swap

Would anyone keep Ramsey, sign Asensio but let McGinn go to Everton…..just a thought.

We really need to find a club for Bailey and minimize the impact of Donck’s contract when we release him. I’d much rather we didn’t sell a talented homegrown player like JJ

Ramsey out, Asensio in  8)

I think, at best, it’s a neutral impact on the squad.

Why would anyone want to let McGinn leave? He’d fetch minimal money but someone else to add what he adds would cost way more and be another pointless waste of time trying to find.
