The clear out....

Ditto. He's definitely good enough, but that very fact will add urgency to any wish he may have for more frequent first team selection.
 
Perhaps a loan move to a Premier league club would work out in our favour ultimately

I don’t see how having Adrian as the main backup to Alisson could be described as “working in our favour”.

It is a tricky one though.

I was merely referring to a successful loan period significantly increasing the transfer fee we would likely get.
We would indeed need a better back up than Adrian

A bag of Tayto would be a better back up than Adrian.
 
When I first typed that it appeared as “a vag of Tayto”.

That too would be better..,
 
I was about to say It is starting to feel like a clearout though

So I did a list. And it's not too bad at the minute.

Mane
Origi
OX
Kelleher

Salah.(Maybe)

I reckon you could add Phillips and Neco Williams to that list.
 
Best Irish Keeper since....

Who?

Looks better than Given so far, but early to say
Packie Bonner? Definitely Better
Gavin Bazunu - How does he compare?

Can't judge him against either bonner or given. He needs to be play regularly before he can be compared to anyone. Potentially he looks good but needs a good run of games and not just a sporadic game here or there.
 
Kelleher is very good, and will be great.. but the timings are not looking great. Ali is 29, unless he gets a big injury he will hopefully stay here for another 3-4 years minimum. Kelleher is good enough to play in the PL now and he knows it. We may struggle to keep him as just a cup keeper which would be a huge shame. Our best option like Count suggested may be PL loans (multiple) to keep him on our books but unfortunately not part of our squad. This would mean having to promote Pitaluga (which may not be a bad thing) as Adrian can not be trusted!

I just can't see us letting him go this season, more to do with the home players quota than anything else.

Especially with Ox going and potentially Gomez, would leave a big big hole to fill
 
I hope we negotiate a sell on and buy back clause on the transfer. He’s likely to keep improving and end up a very versatile player in a top 6 side…just not suited to us right now.

I think someone will turn him into an attacker, unless there is a PL team with attacking wingbacks who is eyeing him up (I could imagine him doing well at a Wolves or a Brighton where they deploy a back 3 and wing backs).
 
So players touted as possibly leaving this season and their value as I see it
Mini £17m is the touted figure. I believe he is worth way more
Ox - £3-5m
Ojo - £3m
Origi - released
Woodburn released
Adrian - Will be release
Nats £15m
Neco £15m
Gomez - wanted by Villa £40m
Mane - £30-40m

If Salah doesn't sign I thank he will be gone too, and we would probably get £60m.
That would be enough to get a CM, CF, RW and a CDM. Looks like Calvin Ramsey will be TAA's understudy
 
Surely even now Ox is worth more than £5m. He's not even that old. Otherwise those figures look reasonable enough.

My hope is we can afford a quality midfielder as well as Nunez. No idea who but I think we need a bit more pace and power in there, personally.

Injury prone and high wages which is why I say £3-5m. Mini is worth more than £17m, as he his goals to minute ratio is one of the best but that seems to be where the club will sell at.
