It's the players that leave for f-all that screw us. How desperate were we when kos left we'd to spend 20m on a like for like replacement. And the ramsey shaped hole in our midfield has burned us badly. Imagine wed sold him for 30m and brought in a Juninho or Fernandes we'd be in such better shape now.
Exactly. Players who aren't signing contract have to go. Guys like Auba it makes perfect sense, he's a quality player but thats exactly why he's worth something. We can get value on him and reinvest. Allowing him to leave for nothing would be throwing money away.
It would be much worse if we can't get Saka to sign IMO, he's a future start and we need to hang on to him. If we have to see him at some point we'd be better off doing it in 2 or 3 years time when his value will be through the roof.
