Watching Germany it seems they play at a very high tempo, so looks like he won't suit them any more than he does us. I have a feeling Woltemade is going to get very few minutes on the pitch tbh, which is not good for us, as it will devalue him further. If he'd had a good world cup could have pushed his price back up and we might have had some interest from Europe.

My only concern is that if he really is wanting to go, I would rather get it done early and get his replacement in while they are available. Whether that's Lamine Camara or anybody else. I don't want to have him here most of the window, then sell him later down the line to find our preferred options have gone elsewhere.

No idea mate. At this point seems like every club in the planet seems to have an in depth understanding of buy backs, release clauses, sell-ons and sexual favours upon a certain amount of appearances being reached. Apart from us when it came to the swap deal with Anderson and Vlachydimos.

Could effectively turn out to be a one season loan then. Madrid would do well out of it, he'd be getting some great experience against physical defences while he was over here.

Just feels to me like we only sign Camara if Tonali goes. Otherwise we have far more important positions to fill before midfield, and I doubt we have the cash for all of them. I think we would let Tonali go, but at this point I'm not sure any team will pay us enough money to persuade us to sell.

I did think it was the right decision at the time, but would we have still won the Carabao Cup without Joelinton? he played a pretty big part in it.

It is if our options for RW are going to be Murphy and Elanga for next season as a result.

Read something about his move to Ipswich might be off with Kieran McKenna leaving as he was the one pushing for the move. I wonder how this affects any alleged push for Trafford?

It would be even more ironic if Jauoen ended up usurping Trafford just like Donarumma did a year ago.

Or we expect to sell at least one more big player.

Meh. I would have been excited previously, but this seems like a long distance punt which we don't really expect to come off. I expect he'll probably end up at Villa.

Mate we don't even mind you being a mega club. We would just like the opportunity to become one of them. Now do you understand the cartel association?

Merino was a hit really, that was just Rafa who didn't use him as much as he could. The fans were all very positive about him.

I will admit I was suspicious that he might be a patsy for Howe, but that was doing him a massive disservice. Look at what he did at Forest. He seemed to be signing players left right and centre. He certainly stitched us up royally with the Anderson/Vlachydimos deal...and Forest were also in PSR trouble at the time. Amanda and Ghoudussi get a free pass here for that, but that was part of the reason they were probably invited to leave.
