It’s time.
Always thought we'd find it difficult to shift Martial and AWB, though i hoped Jose/Roma might have helped us with the latter.
Linked to Bellerin this week, probably around 10m too since he's in his last year of contract.Wan Bissaka is straight up Simeone’s alley at Atletico. Don’t they need a right back after selling Trippier?
We better bite their hand off and run with that
A grand total of €9M income. You can't make this up. Sold one and three loans.
Phil Jones, Bailly, AWB, Tuanzebe, Chong, Williams are still here.
Shoretire, Diallo, Mejbri, Pellistri neither sold nor loaned.
Being this incompetent should be a criminal offense.

I think Garner & Donny probably leave before the window shuts.
Most players won't leave until the last week of the window.
It is not just that we don't know how to negotiate. We are too reluctant to sell too. Unless player asks for transfer, we will not even try to sell him. Not to mention that we will even refuse offers for backup players. Because it is better that they stay in case of "injury crisis."Well run clubs can sell.
Look at Liverpool this year: Mane (30m, 30 year old, 1 year to go, wanted something they can't offer)
Neco Williams (no idea who he was but 20m euros to NF??????)
Minamino (15m euros, a big flop initially bought for half that amount, unreal)
Marko Grujic (bought for 5m pounds in 2016, I am sure did nothing and sold for 9m euros)
Ben Davies (5m euros).....
Unfreaking believable..... How just how????????????????????
We can't find a buyer for Williams, ABW, Baily (5m selling price when we paid close to 30m)....and more...
So frustratinggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg...
Is it all to do with the salaries we pay or is it just pure incompetent of people in charge?

Lvg had best opinion regarding that "injury crisis" excuse. He said on one press conference that injury crisis (if they happen) are perfect to give a chance to youth players. It is not like injury crisis lasts too long. Those 3-4 games you can play with Garnacho, Iqbal, Mengi or whoever (depending which position is injury hit).
We now have 8-9 midfielders. No point in that. 3 right full backs. 7 central defenders. And we are not even playing CL.
Doesn't our inability to sell essentially come down to the insane wages distinctly average (at best) players find themselves on at Utd, coupled with us not wanting to sell for massively under what we tend to pay? It's essentially a result of overpaying on every front.
It's mental. Two in each position is plenty i.e. 4 centre backs and 4 midfielders. City seem to be going the LVG route as well, I don't recognize half the names on their bench these days.
Leaner squad is much better, more game time for players and less players unhappy. More opportunities for youngster's as well as you say. Win win all round.

We really need to start selling players. We spent 250 mil this summer. If we don't sell i can't see us spending more than 50 next year.
In euros it is;
2022. 250 mil
2021. 150 mil
2020. 80 mil
2019. 250 mil
2018. 80 mil
2017. 200 mil
2016. 200 mil
2015. 150 mil
2014. 200 mil
That is 1,5 billion euros spent in 8 years
Meanwhile we sold players for 450 mil. That is huge gap.
