Fullham have offered him between £120-£140k per week to stay, according to various reports and he's turned them down so far.

I don't think he's going to accept a whole lot less from us or any other side he ultimately opts for.

We've offered him a starring role in our Xmas video, plus he's allowed to keep the jumper.

... Personally I'd be happy to let a combination of JJA, Young and Alysson fight for 1 of those spots and throw the money at Ferran Torres (supposedly available for about €60m).
I don't see F Torres as a net talent improvement for us. Maybe I'm missing something; just don't see it.

16 goals already for Barcelona this season.

Might just edge out Sancho, Bailey, Little Emi or Watkins etc.

Not that I think it's likely for the fee and wages involved.

Some good players at the relegated clubs. Wolves and West Ham have good young DCMs.  Summerville and MGW in attacking positions.

Summerville under Unai is yes from me.

Cassimero now way.

Wilson - not sure

Amadou Onana: Aston Villa could accept ‘huge’ offer after his confession

a bit of clickbait here - but he'd be one I think we could cope with selling over Rogers etc

A few days ago West Ham announced a loss of 104.2 million for the 2024 - 2025 season. Commentator yesterday said they may be forced to sell.

Bowen or Summerville should be on our radar.

Re Onana, yes, if we get a good offer let him go.

He’s the one big sale, >£40m, that would not impact the quality of the first team.  Of course squad depth would be weaker but Bogarde is a year older and Hemmings is coming through.  Not sure there’s many clubs that could find in excess of £40m though.

Yes, Onana is one i think we could replace. Shame really, as he's at a good age and on his day, he's excellent.

Man Utd.  Not shit for a couple of months and they’re buying everyone.  ******.

The press make me laugh. Deciding who a football club is going to buy in a few months time when that football club doesn’t even know who their manager is going to be.

That said, Onana would be a decent sacrifice to keep other players. Utd would be the perfect fit really.
With their injury record they must have absolutely banging state of the art medical facilities.

Said it before, but I hope they do.  Their squad is already massive, and signing new players will push existing ones to the periphary. As a result the atmosphere will become more toxic and wage burden even bigger.  We need them to waste their financial advantage.
