According to Tanswell we don't want to sell him because the value isn't there.

the James Maddison one is surely a wind-up....

Which was always the case, this is why I've not been remotely concerned about him leaving this summer. £35-40m is the minimum for us to be remotely interested (because we'd need a big chunk of that to get a replacement) and there just doesn't seem to be anyone with that sort of money to use on a keeper.

The time to sell was last season, when we could have got a whopping big fee and needed to reduce the wages. I don't suppose we will ever know if the club were encouraging a move, or it was Emi. On balance I'm glad he stayed, but I was cross at the time.

I don't think Rogers or Konsa will go either.

Something will have to give though, as we really need some pace on the wings and some defensive cover. I have a feeling a couple of the younger players like Alisson and Madjo might make a significant contribution this season though.

At this point, in Emi and Bizot we have brilliant options. If a good keeper comes along and wants to stick around and wait for Emi’s contract to expire then fine. But I wouldn’t be pushing Emi out. Getting £15-£20M and wages of our books helps of course but I’d rather keep him for the immense tangible and intangible value he continues to provide us.
