We shouldn’t be selling him for £4m though which is what they have offered apparently
We need ti be smart and if we can’t get the money, extend his contract and loan him to another club
At least we protect some value

Really? I think we have moved on from that approach, take the 4M, get the wages off the books and at best put a sell on clause.
If we manage to offload him and Reguilon, this window from an outgoing perspective is a 10/10, we have never in my memory ended a window with no one surplus to requirements left in squad
Sess, Royal, Gil, Solomon, Tanganga, PEH, Skipp, Rodon, Dier, Ndombele plus potentially GLC and Reguilon? plus loans for Scarlett, Veliz, Phillips and a few of the academy ... amazing work
Saving more than half of his £5m remaining wages would be a bonus at this stage.We shouldn’t be selling him for £4m though which is what they have offered apparently

Agree. Although gil and solomon will probably be back.
Football is football though. Some of the players we have now will be on the fringes of the team this season (although with more games will be used). Next summer i'm sure a couple of them will be considered surplus. It's the nature of things.
A bit minor, but unless anything happens tomorrow, Forster and Whiteman will get 0 minutes for us this season.Really? I think we have moved on from that approach, take the 4M, get the wages off the books and at best put a sell on clause.

There is some natural attrition from the squad due to contract end dates. The 2 keepers, Forster and Whiteman, will be out of contract so I'm guessing next summer we'll be looking at keepers. That is, unless there is an academy promotion.
Then there is Davies who will be 32 and out of contract. So will Sonny, but I'm wondering whether he has one of those 1 year extension trigger clauses. Finally, Werner clears another space if we don't do the loan to buy option. I'm not sure we will.
So we should get 3 or 4 natural squad places freed up for our young loanees to go after. If not, we can spend in those positions before even cutting into the rest.
I think we're finally in good shape with regards to squad numbers.
Its different having a squad of 25, rather than 35 though. Although i suppose we also have 10 out on loan.Agree. Although gil and solomon will probably be back.

I think we just go Austin 2, Gunter 3 and emergency loan if Vicario gets an injuryWhat we need is our youngsters to develop. We have no outfield club trained players. Which for european games limits us.
Yes backup gk will also be needed. Unless keely or gunter are deemed good enough.

The new deal for Forster was odd unless we are using him as a Carson like mentor to the younger keepers?A bit minor, but unless anything happens tomorrow, Forster and Whiteman will get 0 minutes for us this season.
Forster cant even be named in the EL squad unless we sell 3 other senior players tomorrow (whereas Austin and Whiteman are CT rather than HG), which would be his only opportunity of minutes.
Just getting him off the wage bill will probably save 4 to 5 mill in a year.I'd sell him for £4
Because keepers train separately, a lot of their role is just to keep the #1 mentally entertained. It has been Renaissance Man Whiteman's role at the club for about 7 years. Lloris used to love chatting all thing Louvre with him between drills.The new deal for Forster was odd unless we are using him as a Carson like mentor to the younger keepers?
What's he like at LB?Sounds like the kind of wheeler-dealing that Harry would approve of!
