Calm down lads…
It was just a suggestion as devil’s advocate based on selling anyone else just so we can keep Murillo and MGW.
To do that they must have a low cost and clear value growth- who else fits that profile now brennan and mangala have gone. Yates?!
I like CHO but now you are pushing me on it, yes I do think he has clear limitations- lacks pace and only has one foot. This is why he’s much more effective with Aina who provides the option to go outside.
Am I desperate to sell him? No. Your points stand.
Would I rather sell CHO for £20m profit if it meant we can keep Murillo? Damned right.
Anyway it’s not a rabbit hole I intended- it was just off the cuff examples.
Personally I like the suggestion to take a 2 point hit for a second offence (Everton precedent)- the more I think about it that’s a really good idea. Means we retain a better squad going forward and we might actually be better off than 10+ other teams (who have either had a higher first offence tariff or have sold their better players to comply). How ironic the system might actually work in our favour….
