Watkins being linked with a £40m move to MU.

We'd be stupid beyond belief to not take that.

Linked where?

I mean we might - given he’s consistently our main goal scorer and we’ve already lost two of our key creative influences. Also typically if a rival wants to sign one of your players it should probably be a moment to pause for thought.

Did I miss half a dozen more players being sold?

They snook out hiding in Nanny’s hair. I think they all now play for Chelsea.

Manzambi and Newcastle's new lad, have basically one season of senior football at a half-decent level behind them. And their values have exploded in 12 months. We're both hoping that's exponential but these are the type of punts the SkySix don't need to rely on.

Chelsea have just gambled £117 million on an inconsistent 23 year old.

Manzambi will go somewhere for £150m in a year or two. He is going to be a massive star.
That’s my thought also

We do seem to have quite a habit of selling players at the peak of their value. Off the top of my head I cant think of an obvious one thats moved on since we've sold them for more.

They have already put £170m on the table for his left leg.

Yeah but his 70% consistency was world-class.

Yes, whilst it's a lot of money, it's not really a gamble at all. He played nearly every game possible, rarely gets injured if at all, and was a key reason why we have done so well in the last two seasons.
