Welbeck, Izquierdo.
Walton as well although we have an option on a further year.
Christ. Not Izzy and Ali J?
Gonna be a real, real mission to get rid of some of these guys.

Villa will still spend big. But we won't sell to them
Everton I doubt it, they'll be ploughing serious cash into the new stadium
City and Chelsea will spend big, yes. Their owners are well insulated from the real world. But if one does get Haaland, it will be hard to spend more even for them. He would be over £100m
But generally I think the transfer economy will be badly hit. Which is good. Both from the point of view that the chances of us keeping our best players are much higher than they would ordinarily be and from the point of view that inflation in football can't keep spiralling out of control
They would buy him because he is already a homegrown fully capable PL player with a very high likelihood of turning into a great one. If they pay £45-50m they probably get him now, wait a year and it could be Maguire numbers.
Absolutely.
It's now harder to get players out than in.
And we have a lot to get out.
Year long loans for a lot of them might be the best option.
I can see Webster being sold as well as Bis and White if the right money comes up.
However we have Clarke and Roberts looking good, I expect Clarke to be starting next season
So why wouldn't we then hang onto him and we can get the "Maguire numbers"?
TB knows what he is doing
Personally I think the January transfer window was a pretty good portent of what is to come in the transfer market.
Usually, 8 or 10 clubs are spending big. This summer I think 2 or 3 will. Arsenal and Liverpool won't be among them.
I expect we’ll want northwards of £40m though. Can only see Arsenal in the reckoning as others like Chelsea and Liverpool will have bigger targets.

I suspect of all the players not out of contract Ryan will be off. If he is happy at Arsenal it's a no brainer.
But yeah, we know Duffy is on 40-50k. After this year who'd touch him?
We always get to this point where we’re discussing which players will possibly be sold from our present squad. If Bissouma goes it’ll have to be a massive bid, but in truth he’ll learn more & be a better player staying with the Albion, unless of course he goes to City. If I was discussing selling it wouldn’t be our present starting players. I’d say get rid of the hangers on, Ali J, Locadia and others in that category, what’s the point of selling our better players, we’ll just have to replace them and spend loads in doing so to become the same team we’re already becoming. We need stability, with a couple of good tweaks we’re on our way to advancing up the table.
Could see West Ham being interested actually. Shane just needs the right system to play in. Will be interest for sure I reckon if the transfer fee is sensible.
I think that it is important that we don't stand in the way of player's moves to top 6 clubs.
Surely we can at least try and convince our players to stay here over moving to West Ham or Leicester?
