Havertz plays a sort of false 9, I think tactically now they'll have to fit him elsewhere. With Lukaku playing as a traditional CF, Abraham is an ideal back up.
I think they'd sell if they get a good offer, but I'm not convinced anyone is going to meet their supposed asking price.
They'll sell for the right price but they are also happy for him to stay so they can hold out for what they feel he's worth.
I saw Tolisso is available for 10m euros (expiring contract). Worth a shot? I know he's always broken though.
can't sign crocks and then complain when they aren't available.
He's also shit. Injuries ruined him
Has anyone from Lyon ever turned out not injured or not that good.
Benzema?
Oh yeah forgot about him.
essien and benzema are the main OL exports that stand out
Nah, there were more I reckon. Abidal was good for Barca, Malouda for Chelsea and Lloris for Spurs. More recently Mendy has been a success at Madrid. But I agree that largely they have been flops.
And Umititi was good for Barca for a spell too before he broke down.
Houseboat reports emerging that Arteta is interested in bringing Coutinho here.
Someone really should be checking on Klaus right now

I would think most of their exports were successful. Hardly any flopped because of lack of quality.

Isn't this a rumour that comes up every transfer window dating back to Emery?

Imagine a window where we badly need a CM, an AM, a RB and a ST. Then we splash 50m on White, sells Willock and get Coutinho on loan.
Perfect summer for Klaus
Linked with a budget move for Neto as backup goalie. I approve of that, even though surprise surprise he is Kia's client. Everytime we need an emergency signing we will turn to him.
Once again linked Freddie Woodman. Newcastle goalkeeper who spent last few seasons on loan at Swansea and was quite rated.
There seems to be a concerted effort to get a home grown keeper.
