Hughes obviously willing to go to club record 18 mill!Townsend is useless as wingback and for that amount just splash out on Sakho before it is too late...

£15 mil won't happen. Who knows if the right price comes in.

There are question marks hanging over Townsend because we only have wing backs on the left, so Townsend is playing RWB. If we're going to fill that hole it would surely be cheaper to sign a RWB rather than a right sided forward, even with a fee from selling Townsend. Townsend is now a hard worker and consistent performer. Sh1t, sounds more like a RWB. This right side is an issue with players we're supposed to have that suit a 3-4-3.

Selling to replace again isn't what I think is going to happen. Selling and getting by is more likely and Loftus Cheek coming in and Riederwald plus another versatile right sided defender is possibly a clue as to where those sales will be.

I can't see Andros going anywhere, especially not for that price.

We are trying to build a better squad with more depth.

Also, why would he go to Stoke. We are a far more sexy club than Stoke these days.

Losing those two players would damage the team if that was the end of the story. Look at the bigger picture. If they don't fit in the new system their transfer fees and wages go toward getting in the players that do and making us a better team. Now, doesn't the outlook seem a little brighter and less damaging now?

Certainly not his strong suit.
I'm yet to be convinced he can be an effective right-wing back.

How do you know there is any truth in any of this. For example, how many times have we supposed to have signed Martins Indi??? Apparently it was a done deal weeks ago. Most of all this is total social media tripe
