We’re trying to terminate Bellerin’s contract.
Surely we can get a few pennies for him? Again, it’s crazy how little we get for departing players.
AMN linked with Southampton on loan too.

A lot of the issue is player wages, if you take a player on loan you can maybe handle paying their wages for a year but after that it’s more of a commitment. This is why I think an otherwise decent midfielder like Torreira hasn’t gone to a bigger club
The other issue is when a club wants rid of a player they become less of an attractive prospect, Bellerin injury prone aside is probably worth 20million at least but a combination that the selling club wants him off its books and a potential buyer like Barcelona clearly has issues with its wage bills makes it a difficult proposition
I wasn’t commenting on individual ability-levels at all - that’s all you, dude. Your point was that Partey is our only midfielder who even *tries* to play the ball through the lines, implying that we lose that option completely without him - my point was that, whilst that might be true of our midfielders, our defenders and keeper also *try* those passes with regularity. You might not rate their ability to execute as highly as Partey’s - that’s a different conversation - but none of them shirk the responsibility or take the coward's way out, looking for someone else when those passes open up for them. They all take them on.

Danilo and Mudryk look like the strongest links going into the final day.
Honestly, all of the usual trusted sources look all over the place, so I haven’t got a clue whether we get either (or anything) done. I really don’t think the club will be panicked into anything though - we proved that in January when the squad was in a far more desperate state.
Chelsea have bid 43m for Edson Alvarez from Ajax.
I’m sure their new owner thinks he’s playing Football Manager.
Chelsea in talks with Auba too.
Wonder if they can get past Forest's 18 players coming in before the transfer window SLAMS SHUT.
