Not quite - I was ok with Slobbers & Big Mac plus the youngsters if we kept Fabs & Hendo - but once we sold those two, we needed at least one more incoming.
I wasn’t particularly in favour of selling either Fabs or Hendo, but replacing those two with Endo & Gravy is probably decent business.m - considering it cost about the same and Gravy is at least young and highly developable.
Whatever we mean by “transition season”, I don’t know, but that doesn’t mean giving up - the front line with Salah means we should have enough firepower to get back to where we want to be.
Sell Salah now - you run the risk of rooting not only this season, but next one as well.
There are more important things needing fixed - get a Sporting Director - get a coherent transfer strategy in place, fix the back room team and do that before we start waving around £200m to try and convince someone to come join a team that just shot itself in the foot.
What if they offered £1bn for him?
I suspect you'd agree that we should take that.
Therefore I suspect that what it really comes down to is exactly how much money you think would be adequate compensation. Or is there literally no amount you'd consider enough?
