As magnificent as Emi is and has been unless he restructured his deal (as some others have done) then we need to move on from him. Take the £20m or so and reinvest that in other areas. There are other excellent keepers out there but none or very few will the presence of Emi. We will lose that. Getting in a Rashford, mind you, gives it back to us in another area of the pitch.

Trafford is the obvious player looking to move.

At some point Emi's wages will be an issue.  Right now, his performances and presence justify the £200k but I doubt he can maintain this level to the end of his contract.  Therefore, if someone did offer £20m (Bayern is my guess) then we must take it (sadly) and also cap the new signing's wages at £100k.

Martinez and Konsa will move on in the summer, I think. Mings, Bailey and possibly Digne will go too. Rebuild time.

Selling Pau could be another possibility.

Senesi is available on a Bosman, and is a left-sided centre back who makes progessive passes.  Also has a similarly extensive injury history.

I think he's more in the McGinn category.

Not in terms of how important he is to us (as the last few months has shown, nobody is as important), but in that to Emery he's more valuable than he would be to other sides, meaning nobody offers us enough to mean it's in our interest to sell.

Pau isn't going anywhere short of a mental offer. Same with Konsa, Rogers, Kamara and Youri. Pau is critical to how Emery loves to play out from the back.

Is Guessand out for the season? I assume we'll struggle to shift him in the summer if so which would mean another £25m to potentially find.
