Yes absolutely. As long as we reinvest wisely the team will be infinitely improved. Left back, sticker and pacy young winger
What sticker would you want? A Pannini 1970 Pele?

Yes, he wants to go, we'll have made a straight £50m from the sale as he cost us nothing, we can reinvest some of the money in other players that have a good re-sale value. However, the biggest win is that we are seen as a club for young talented players to come to , to progress their careers and then we won't stand in their way if they move on in their careers, so long as the buying club meets our valuation. It needed to be done. Plus now, Arsenal don't have the spare money to buy Bissouma, and Dunk and Webster will think WTF, we are better than him, and we'll prove it.

Yes.
Assuming we invest in quality for that part of the first 11.
Our PL safety was only secured with a handful of games to go. White and Bissouma were vital to our survival. No one should take their loss with a glib “our current squad will offer ready made replacements”.
The last thing the club and fans want is a 5th consecutive relegation battle.

Yes I would, but only if we invest in an unproven £20 - 30 mllion striker [emoji106]

Neither. Would take he £50M with a heavy heart, but drive him there myself? No, fvck that!
If a late call for a chat with Klopp, Pep, Tommy T. or OGS came in, I'd volunteer - but frankly I doubt if White will ever again consider travelling in a Hyundai I10 ..... .........

These aren't the players you're looking for.

Yup.
Along with the other recent departures, we've just freed up around £200k a week in wages and could now have £50m in the transfer kitty to buy a proper striker.

When they were saying no to the other offers (40 odd mil)then we hear it’ll only be a huge offer that makes it nonsensical to refuse 50 mil don’t seem nonsensical to me
Yes - as long as we spend wisely for the long term. I don't want us to blow half of it on another striker from god knows where with 25 million Tw@tter followers crawling all over t'internet telling we must play him because he is the Lion of the Netherlands or whatever and is the best thing since sliced bread. Or Messi .........

Ben White - what does he actually do?

Yes.
An astounding profit on a player who cost relatively little and it may help us sign a striker and keep Bissouma.

Yes. It does several things
1. Money in the kitty for either a purchase or for TB to get a few quid back (or not so heavily subsidise in the future).
2. Sets the benchmark to future yoof signings for us to show that we have a structure in where players excel and move onto bigger clubs (and Arsenal are bigger)
3. Shows current Academy players that it is possible to get into the senior England squad and move on up from the first team if you follow our route.

It's the keeping Yves Bissouma bit that makes things less hard in this transfer for me. I want Ben to stay and be part of something really promising but I suppose there has to be a 'con' to go with the many 'pros'.
[emoji106] to all this.
To answer the question:
I’d personally hold out for around £60m. But 50 is the minimum, and I suspect there’s probably some kick backs to push that figure higher if certain conditions are met. Obviously we don’t know and won’t know. But we held all the cards and we know how good Tony is in that situation.
If you're going to be a spelling policeman, best to get Panini correct.
No. Wait another season, get top ten and sell him for £75m
If you're still worrying about Panini (Pannini, Paninni, whatever) stickers, perhaps you're not quite ready for t'internet!

Great bit of business! I’m happy with our defensive options and can hopefully reinvest this in other areas
