Woodburn goes on a free.

Yeah I’m not seeing too much money in that lot.

If we are going off alliteration, then I have some really useless thread titles - in relation to this thread and in general. Please don’t contact me :rofl:

Mane 40 million
Gomez - 20 million
Minamino - 18 million
Ox - 15 million
Neco - 15 million
Phillips - 10 million
Ben Davies - 2million

I think Gomez and Minamino will ask for moves in order to play for inferior teams on a more regular basis. I don’t see us getting eight figures for Phillips, then again it would be Bournemouth and they like over-paying for our cast offs.

I think the big conundrum is Mo. if he won’t sign a new deal, and if Mbappe goes to Real Madrid, there’s every chance Mo goes to PSG.

At that point we would possibly sign Antony, or maybe even try for Adeyemi if his deal to Dortmund is not watertight. Maybe Nkunku or David, hard to say.

Outs for now:

Karius - free
Ox - £12M
Phillips - £8M
Neco Williams - £12M
Rhys Williams - £3M
Ben Davies - £2M
Minamino - £12M
Ojo - £2M

Origi free (sad, but good luck to him)
Woodburn free

Some other less heralded players on a free

Question mark over Joe Gomez. Hopefully he stays, if not, £35M sale.

We’re never getting £12m for Ox.
Will hopefully hold on to Mini, though he may want to leave for his own career which is fair enough

Karius - free
Origi- free
Woodburn- free
Adrian- free
Davies- free
Ox - £8m
Phillips - £10m
Neco Williams - £15m
Rhys Williams - £5m
Ojo - £2m

A reminder: free transfers do not count.

I think you’re missing the point, quite possibly on purpose.

Everyone knows that Loris Karius is going to leave this summer, as his contract expires. So, when he inevitably gets released by the club, he will not count for the purposes of this competition.

Now, if some club were stupid enough to pay a fee for him, he would count… but even Man U aren’t that stupid (I think).

But if, as expected, he leaves on a free you won’t be getting a point for him. Same applies to any other player who leaves on a free transfer, for an undisclosed/nominal fee or is released by the club.

Taps self on back. Looks like I called the potential price for Minamino pretty damn close. According to the Twitter thread our price is 17 mil and Inter are supposedly interested.

However, if one is just over the price then that would be bust, would it not?

Gomez - 30 million pounds (with a heavy heart)
Phillips - 10 million pounds
Davies - 5 million pounds
Neco - 15 million pounds
Oxlade-Chamberlain - 15 million pounds
Minamino - 15 million pounds
Firmino - 20 million pounds (with an even heavier heart)

I think that Atletico’s sporting director said the other day that their days of big spending are over (yeah, no wonder when you pay through the nose for players who aren’t fit to wear the shirt) but I still hope that Firmino might be of interest to them because of his playing style and the fact that Suarez is leaving and their other forward options are gash.

The total sum raised is what counts, not individual player values.

Even then, that’s only the second tiebreaker.

But why would you wish that on Firmino!?

Neco Williams - £12m
Nat Phillips - £10m
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - £12m
Sheyi Ojo - £4m
Takumi Minamino - £14m

(I think we’ll also move on Origi, Karius, Adrian and Woodburn on frees)

Sadio Mané 60m :blush:

Sadio - 32M
Ox - 17M
Phillips - 12M
N Williams - 12M
Davies - 2M
Mini- 15M

All in pounds

Mane £40m
Takumi £15m
Ox £15m

Edited, again.

Mane £42m
Taki £15m

Gomez £25m

I’d like to update my effort, given the news about Sadio Mane. (If it’s not allowed, fair enough!)

All prices are pounds sterling:

Sadio Mane - 40M
Minamino - 14M
Neco Williams - 12M
Ox - 12M
Nat Phillips - 8M
Rhys Williams - 3M
Ben Davies - 2M
Ojo - 2M

I’m thinking Joe Gomez will sign a new deal, and so will Naby Keita. If they don’t, they are vulnerable to a sale.
