Twatter full of rumours he's off to Roma. We should at least break even on him IMO.

Didn't roma sell Pjanic to fund a replacement for the injured Rudiger.

 

We shouldn't sell cheaply.

 

We won't. Despite the fact he's gone missing for a lot of the season, there's clearly a very good player in there. I think he'd have looked twice the player next season under Rafa.

That's fair enough from a fans POV, it's what you would expect, but I try and look at it from Rafa's perspective and he won't want to lose a quality player unless we get well compensated.

Charnley will panic and try to sell him for five jam jars but Rafa will send him home early with 50p for a mix up.

As with Sissoko, if he feels he's as good as he thinks (wasn't there a quote a week or so back where he was boasting about his stats?), then he can't moan at us for pricing him out of a move if we are holding out for £30m. Another one where if he stays should boss the division and if he leaves, meh.

We'll settle for 20 million, probably 30 million is are start point for negotiations and we'll drop down, if someone meets us at 20 million we'll sell I'm sure, if not, see ya. Despite the stick he gets, he has a lot of quality and would be a huge asset in that division next season. Financially we are not yet in a position to be bullied, that would change if we do not bounce straight back up of course.

 

I just remember the Austin and QPR situation last year, everyone thought they could get him on the cheap. He only had a year left on his deal and QPR were just relegated, they held out though for a 15 million fee or something. They still got a reasonable fee for him 6 months later with even less time on his contract. The parachute payments give clubs the capacity to hold onto their star players despite relegation, if you can bounce straight back up you can still play hard ball with clubs looking to feast off your carcass.

Was generally reported that Southampton paid QPR only 4 million for Austin.

 

He only had 12 months left on his contract

That's still decent money for a player who would have been gone in the summer on a free, Gini have 4 or 5 years left on his deal !!

I think Sissoko would look a different player under Rafa, he actually did for the last 6 or so games of the season.  Wijnaldum however was still just as shit as ever right to the last, despite basically everyone else upping their game under Rafa he was still as infuriating as ever.

Not to mention Austin apparently couldn't pass a medical.

I remember when he signed last year and he walked into st James for the first time in total awe of his new surroundings I thought that he would be our future captain but it looked like one of McClarens compromises was to play him no matter what even if his form suffered.

 

I wonder what Rafa would turn this lad into if he was to stay.

Sissoko was still poor in the final 6 games IMO; he just put more effort in.

Wasn't much cop under Rafa either.

 

We weren't really much of a team under Rafa until the last few games where the players started to understand their roles better. I could definitely see Rafa getting some mileage out of his type of player IF his attitude was right. That's the question mark, not his ability.

I'm sorry but his performance in the Spuds game was one of the best I've seen from him, showed what he was capable of, wasn't "poor" as you call it for sure.

Still not sure what position this guy should play in. If there is interest and the money is substantial, we should sell.

 

We used to say the same thing about Sissoko until we all just realised it doesn't matter where he played at really, it all depended whether or not he could be arsed and the same applies to Gini.
