I am not entirely convinced by Quansah. But he is young and also English.
Who would we seriously replace him with? Unless it’s a significant upgrade or a serious profit to cover someone else?
I also question the level of change in one summer.

He’s also only 22. At that age Virg was still in Holland and hadn’t even done his Celtic and Southampton apprenticeships.
Can’t seen any reason at all to cash in on him now. Even a PL loan would be better than a sale

People who know much more than we do and do that for a living have reasons.
They also make mistakes at times, but I would not be shocked if we sold Quansah.
Not the first, not the last of that level.

I can only think it would be driven by the player asking to leave for regular starts, rather than any preference by us.

Don’t forget Grealish.
A good buyback clause could be helpful. If he could level up after 2-3 years, then we could get him back. He doesn’t have much chance to improve with us.

He would if he stayed and took Konate’s place next season. Assuming that Konate falls for the charms of PSG or RM.

Perhaps we’ve got huge confidence in Wellity Lucky?
That being said, I’d prefer to let Gomez go rather than Quansah.
As for Isak; 100%. We’d manage his fitness far better than Newcastle could, given our depth of options up front that allow for the rotation needed to maintain our high energy style.

Glad to see you back.
That’s @Kopstar not @Limiescouse. He’s never away.

So many discussions on Isak.
Comeon Nikola , do your stuff.
Nothing reliable yet.

Actually, this just popped up:
Edit: provided you meant Quansah and not Isak.
No, I meant Isak.

I don’t see us going for Gordon unless we sell on Diaz first.
Also am I the only one who would prefer Barcola to Gordon as a replacement at wing if Diaz leaves?

I’d prefer my nan as a replacement over Gordon, and she’s been dead going on ten years…

Not Gordon for me. I would keep Diaz.
But here’s my master plan. Keep Nunez and Jota. I do not see much better out there. Would not pay the price for Isaak (injuries) or Ekiteke (too raw). Danns as backup.
Buy Wharton to add more bite to midfield.
Get another CB.
Then we are done.
