If he's fit and his attitude is good then Andone could be a real asset. But who knows how that'll play out.

Welbeck is out of contract in the summer.
You'd imagine we'd listen to offers for Andone. Connolly could well go out on loan.
Some more youngsters (not cheap - we'll fork out a fair few million on them, as we did last year). Anybody who thinks we'll be signing two or three players to go straight into the first team is deluded (please feel free to bounce this in September).
There's a few we could do with selling, but there won't exactly be queues to buy our cast offs in these Covid affected times. Many other teams will be trying to off-load too.

That's exactly how I see it.
I think Welbeck will sign a new deal and I have a suspicion we'll sell Connolly.
I think our striking options next season will be Maupay, Welbeck, Andone and Zeqiri

I understand Andone is on £40K a week and he has 2 years left of his deal. He has just turned 28, he is presently injured so won't get much opportunity to impress before the end of this season, and he's already coming back off a bad injury suffered in Turkey.
Therefore, I'd be surprised if anyone would offer him a deal anything like as good as he's already got, and from his position it doesn't get better than Prem football at a club where has has an excellent chance of game-time.
Potter has worked wonders already but one thing he hasn't done yet is improve the goal output of any of our strikers, so it is in their mutual interest to try and make it work. A fit Andone will provide excellent competition for Maupay.

I would be surprised if Andone was fully reintegrated into the squad. I might be wrong, but I don’t think Potter trusts him, hence why he went out on loan. His ability isn’t in doubt, but his temperament is (see Southampton at home and WBA away).
I think he might get a couple of appearances before the end of the season if we’re comfortable, then he’ll be sold in the summer having proven his fitness.

I think we will sign a striker. We were prepared it seems to spend on Nunez last summer, and I suspect we’ll have 45-50M in for Bissouma. Also, TB in his line of work will have looked at the expected Points table and be very clear what the missing part is.

I hope youre wrong.....
Maupay is turning into the new CMS. Great work rate, good bloke, but passing not great and nowhere near enough goals.

Just seen that Danny Rose is out of contract this summer at Tottingham. Would be a sensational signing, so much to enjoy about his game.
Andone I think will leave.
I’d happily swap Maupay plus cash for any sort of upgrade.
Maupay is okay outside the box, but incredibly average within it and if we are to progress, that is the area we need to improve. We can talk goals from midfield until we’re ‘blue in the face’, but we need to put away our chances when we get them - and we don’t.

I still think there probably is something in the Rafael Santos Borre rumour, despite the Argus article claiming otherwise. Looks like he is running down his contract, so no transfer fee.
He's scored 5 league goals in 9 for River Plate and has a further 7 in 11 in the copa libertadores.
