Lenglet should really come off the list bc we can’t sell a player we don’t own

In an ideal world Lloris, Perisic, Sess, Dier, Tanganga, Sanchez, Hojbjerg and White. Lenglet and Danjuma aren't our players and i wouldnt sign them. Also all those out on loan bar Spence and maybe Gil.
Its been a dreadful 4 seasons and we need some serious player churn. 3rd oldest squad in the prem and we should be looking at making it one of the youngest and starting again. If we just adopt a business as usual approach the next manager will fail.

I’d take Dier over Sanchez. Then again, I’d take getting my dick burnt in a toaster over Sanchez.
Them players drive me nuts. Ben Arfa is/was crazy good technically, like unreal. Saw him live and up close on a few occasions, his first touch, his close control, the way he runs with the ball, his faints...man, that was special. Even physically he was much more robust than one would think at first glance. But he had shit for brains. The full bag of the brown stuff. Instead of playing for the likes of Hull, Valladolid and the weakest Bordeaux team ever, he should've been at Bayern, Real, City. Should've got 100 caps and 30 odd goals for France.
He and some others like him are blessed with mad talent and they just waste it. That pisses me off.
This has been the refrain literally every summer since I've followed the club.
I wish I could believe we were capable of doing the volume of business (never mind the net financial investment) to complete an overhaul of the squad and dressing room culture, but none of the available evidence gives us reason to believe that.
Not least of which because we're 70M in the hole just moving forward with the team we already have (Kulu and Porro)

Your name says it all brother.
I was talking to an African colleague about the legendary Jay Jay Okocha earlier. Brought such a smile to both our faces. I mean, we were almost drooling just reminiscing about some of his goals, mad assists, crazy as fuck tricks. The guy was pure joy. We definitely miss players like that in the modern game.
But the big difference between a Jay Jay and a Ben Arfa is their mentality. Gimme a Jay Jay - or obviously a Ginola (love you, David!) - any day over such little pricks.
You can be crazy talented, a real magician with the ball, and be a bit less adept when it comes to other aspects of the game, without being a shite wannabe gangsta
Reguillon is the only one I think will be really tough to move.
Lo Celso will go to Villa and we might even get 25m or 30.
Tanguy either another loan or sb takes him for 10-15 and we subsidize wages.
Winks will have takers after a season playing well.
I’m fairness to Paratici he didn’t sell those guys but he did find situations that highlighted why they are assets other teams would want.
Lloris, Dier and Sanchez are self explanatory
Sess, his hamstrings just aren’t up to it, we can’t carry a player who’s spends a large part of the season unavailable due to injuries.
Tanganga, is never going to be a starter here, he needs to go elsewhere for the sake of his career.
Gil, I like Gil but from the comments he made in January it seems like he’s never really settled or been happy here (understandable given his lack of game time) I feel like he prefers being at home in Spain, so it’s probably best for him to get a permanent move there.

We are not getting 40 million pounds for Hojbjerg.
Giving Villa a player that will turn up injured the second they need him sounds like a pretty great idea actually.
Yeah, I'm no Hugo fan boy - I called for the end of his captaincy and honestly wanted him gone after the drink driving - but he's been the mainstay during our best period in generations. He is one of the faces of this era, and one of the first who ushered it in. Deserves the hard earned respect that goes with that.
You spelt Kulusexy wrong.
You spelt Hojbjerg wrong.
You're not a prepubescent teenage child sat in your mum's basement. You're supposed to be a grown adult.
Grow up.
There's no need to reply either. I do not give you permission.
