Not going to be able to replace what he does defensively. But surely we could get in a very good RB at half the price who is more the finished product in the offensive part of the game. Dont have to be as young either. No rule that says we have to replace the player like for like. If we also get in a fast RCB we wont miss his speed that much. For sure understand that people dont want to let go of him. But I do think the potential money we could get from a sale could help us build a stronger squad overall, especially in the short term.

Was about to ask. Must’ve passed the test last time we were in for him. How’s his English?

I don’t want him sold. Hypothetically though, if we got as much as say 80m for him. Wouldn’t this more or less mean that we would be able to buy a replacement for say 30-40m and then be able to sign two 40m players on top of that when you consider PSR? Perhaps not if we include wages for the other two players I guess.

The thing is we'll never see a better England squad IMO 2022-2024 so everything is going to be compared against it now.

Wasn't he more or less signed, before he joined Brighton, but we pulled out when Watford started dicking around with the fee? Shame, would have cost around half the price.

Wonder what Howe's thinking behind this is in terms of our no dickheads rule.

Looks like that's just the done thing now. Everyone does it.

Just about to sign a replacement as well apparently.

You joke (I think), but I'm half expecting that to a popular opinion in time tbh.

A fair point.

We know they want him out because of disciplinary issues. Should help with the fee

He’s far too valuable going into a CL season. Anything less than 90m is a robbery.

I think they're both brilliant tbf

Aye, problem will be agreeing a reasonable fee, no issue with them wanting to sell. That’s what they do.

If the club accepts a bid I doubt he'd flat out turn it down. However, that does not mean anyone from his side is pushing for the move. Seems to me like Man City are hoping for that though, by putting their interest out there when they have not agreed any fee, in order to unsettle him and bring the price down if he then makes a fuss. I very much doubt that will work. They did the same nonsense with MGW at Forest and failed.

Absolute shite

Player wants to come then. Problem will be Brighton.

Nessun Doormat. Tucked Gasperini in when he found him in bed with his wife.

It wasn't just last seasons form either. The second half of his first year was also rubbish.

I'd take 80M he's a much better leftback for some reason than a right back and his performances at right back at points were underwhelming. He is great but we have Hall who I think was far better in general. Hall is the dogs bollocks. Tino is class but Hall will be one of if not the best leftback in the league. Tino is still a great right back though. I just think Hall is better out of the 2 as a fullback in general especially going forward.

That Sam C is reliable fwiw.

'Tired players, long season..... etc'. It was garbage but it will be forgotten in the long run.

Would not sell at any price. He's class!

He still had enough of a first 11 to not finish 17th, and their form really didn't improve when the player's came back. I don't think the injuries excuse holds much water.

If he was sold for say 80 mill, who on earth could we sign that will offer us what Tino does? I don't think there is a good young right back out there.
