We saw this summer the limitations of holding fast and not selling. Our wage budget was massively reduced with Wilf, Luka, Macca and Guaita going yet we didn't dip into the transfer market in key areas. The Henderson and Franca transfers indicate different ambitions and Lerma was on a free.

Guehi is one of four highly desirable players sought by clubs alongside Olise, Eze and Andersen.
Guehi is a top professional and has to stay. He has his England place and is level-headed. Andersen should go. Should he continue to have a good season his stats will justify £40-50m and with his age his price will be peak. I can see him being interested in a move to Newcastle. Should Guehi continue to play well his value will only rise. The one thing missing? A new contract. Match him with Olise and Eze.

I ain't got nuthin' funny to say. Sorry.
