You have to sell two out of our big four... Who goes and why?

[J Macleod]

I've been thinking about this for awhile. Let's say you're Benitez or whoever else comes in.
G & H have told you that to cover debts you must sell two of:
- Torres
- Gerrard
- Mascherano
- Reina
You have also been told that money made from the sales will NOT be invested back into the squad and if it is, it'll be extremely minimal. Say freebies or a couple of million, if that.
So, which two do you sell and why?

 

[J Macleod]

Oh and you also can't just say, for example, Mascherano and all the dross in the squad.
Doesn't work like that. Pick two of the four to sell.

You would never have to sell two of the the four. If you had to sell you Torres for 65m you could keep the other three.

Mascher
Reina

Easy. Cattermole & Joe Hart as replacements and they'd do as good of a job whereas Torres & Gerrard would be harder to replace.

Just what we need to lift the gloom and to coax the jumpers away from the ledge.

 

[gene hughes]

Wilko, you're just the man to talk us away from the cliff edge. 🙂

Torres and Mash.

 

[Fallon]

Don't know, but I do know that one of the guaranteed keepers for me (no pun intended) is Pepé.

Sell them all and just change our name to Everton

Haha. Good one.

 

[Wilko7]

Indeed, Gene. My duty.

Mascherano and Gerrard, for reasons of attitude and age respectively. Torres and Reina are imo the best in the world in their positions and both still have their greatest years to come.

Then get Mourinho in. Conscience cleared. Simples.

Torres' injury record isn't a concern?

 

[LarryHagman]

I'd sell Torres. He misses a third of every season. There's no point being the best if you miss that much.
I'd take a crazy bid for him every day of the week.
