We will lose Caicedo in the summer. I suspect Ali Mac will go too, but only if he and the club get the right offer. Mitoma I'm a little more optimistic of keeping hold of.
I am not so sure. I think how we finish the season will greatly influence outcomes. If you are one of these players do you leave for a "bigger" club who are playing European football and run the risk of being a handy sub, or do you stick with your current club who are also playing European football and where you are an essential part of the starting 11 with a very progressive manager and support system?

We have plenty of attacking mid options if our best player does leave. But if he and Caicedo go at the same time we’ll need at least one, if not two STARTING calibre CMs. Moder coming back and Gilmour are fine rotation options but in my opinion not as exciting as our prospects at other positions. Lallana and Gross too attacking to play against some opponents there long term especially without an elite Caicedo type next to them.

Both will go....and we will need to replace. Should get £130m at least for both.

Mitoma is Jap - so honour and loyalty will keep him here - RDZ won't go either...too much Taurus in him.

If we get 4th though (lol) - who knows.

Yes, I suspect you are right.

There are three things I know:

1) They'll only go for a big fee.

2) Until they go I'll hope that they stay.

3) The speculation will be endless.

What are you not so sure about?

4) The club already have clear plans for what will happen if/when any of them do go

5) RdeZ will know exactly the club’s position

6) I’m not going to worry about it until it happens.

Saturday morning casual racism based on ethnic profiling.

I’m not sure the German administrators at Frankfurt would agree with you about loyalty and honour, they are about to lose a highly valued World Cup star on a free.

Rubbish comparison. Kamada is honouring his contract in full, nothing more, nothing less. No disloyalty at all.

Wouldn’t be so sure about losing both

Not his finest first half
It’s going to be interesting this for Mac Allister. He’s not had a great half playing further forward which doesn’t surprise me, he’s just not natural there IMO.

He sees himself as a number 10 but to me, he is clearly a natural number 6. If he really wants a move to a top, Champions League team, I think he has to concentrate on playing deeper where he would get in most teams IMO. I can’t see him getting anywhere near a starting 11 for elite clubs in a number 10 role.

If his heart is set on playing there, he will be better off staying with us where he’s got more chance of playing there.

Mac Allister is a World Cup winner and Caicedo probably a £100m + player.
Whoever comes in isn’t going to be as exciting as they are, we are going to have to grow a couple of players again.

Have the last 2 games been his showreel for GPott to buy him in the Summer?

Way too selfish / greedy today in my opinion. Tried to hard to make something happen.
