Do wonder who we're going to be selling this summer - I'd assume we've got at least two more players to sign in this window and at these rates we're going to have to sell one or two. Must be confident that we can offload them, so wonder who they are...
Kolasinac surely has to be on his way if this is happening. We've taken up the option of an extra year with Monreal, although that is still yet to be officially confirmed. The Spaniard covers two positions; his legs are gone, but if we could get 40+ games out of Tierney, Monreal will just about be enough.
We can't have Kolasinac as our back-up left back on £100k+ a week. On top of that, he can only really play left wingback to a good standard, and he's 26 years old; not the time in a career to be sitting on the bench.
I also wonder if Emery has in mind Bukayo Saka as a squad option at left back/wingback? He has played there for a bit for the youth sides and played the whole tournament there for the England U17s in their run to the semi-final of the European Championships last summer.
