That's a big IF. |
You're right, but Andre isn't a striker. This opens up the possibility to lure in an attacking midfielder for a bigger fee... Everyone is so down on recruitment but Andre is a player you have to replace. |  | |  |

Liverpool echo and Mirror reporting we have agreed a 10M fee with Everton for Ash. |
8 figure fee for a 31, nearly 32 CB is not bad business, but this one could really backfire. another CB would be an absolute necessity. | | | |

Ayew also earned 3 pk's, including the memorable one he earned with sheer hustle and effort in our crucial victory at Everton.
I also think Ayew was one of the 3 or 4 most-fouled players in the entire PL last season, way ahead of anyone else on the club. That's another overlooked contribution from a player who some our fans seem to undervalue for some reason. I strongly feel that £20m still isn't even close to enough for us to be able to afford losing Ayew, even IF we have a plan to immediately re-invest it on the 1st team. |

If true ash gone but look at the money we are getting for him.
Ayew appears to have more than one foot in the door but hey more money
With all the fecking goalkeepers on the books someone has to go and it don't look like its tremmel or nordfelt.
i wonder whether gylfi will sign a new contract? And we can Probably sell Taylor as well.
We have done so well in these pre-season friendliest we don't need any of the players that played in the euros.
But we sold Eder and paloschi and have got gomis off the books. Lucky we gave Bartley a new contract before we shipped him out as we'll probably need him next season.
We might get that £30-50 million that the press speculated about by selling our most coveted players.
Loads of cash but only one slight problem as Lisa pointed out earlier. Teams know we will be absolutely desperate for players especially strikers and know we have had transfer money on top of sky money. The price will go up as soon as we enquire and the later in the window the more it will go up.
We always have to do things different. When most clubs get a new owner they try to do something in the next transfer window to get the fans onside.
What do ours do - sell all our fecking strikers and then start on the players other teams fancy. You couldn't make this sh!t up if you tried.
Are we going to spend the money we get for ash on a replacement centre half? Hopefully my gut feeling that we'll look to get someone like chambers on loan to be right back/centre half is wrong.
What the feck is going on. Yes there is a month left before the window closes but it would be nice to put out a decent team for the games before then. Add in the time it will take any new players to settle in and sort their fitness out depending on their pre season and this c
Has all the ingredients for a right fecking mess. | | | |

No problem, although so far this is already far worse than any of us could have imagined and it looks like there is more to come. | | | |

Think we can probably assume Ayew will be off one way or another.
Just waiting for the "Sigurdsson signs 4 year contract for Champions Leicester in £17m swoop" in the papers tbh | |

Well West Ham have allegedly met our price for ayew and if you were gylfi would you be looking to sign a new contract or get on the next stage out of town?
As I said in my rant vickers has gone on loan but that still leaves 4 keepers. Somebody's got to go.
And this may also be the window that Taylor packs his bags. | | | |

Yes.
Maybe they were sold a dream. But given all the secrecy and the seemingly desparate way they went about selling up, im not sure they gave a sh1t when suitcases full of Benjamins were waved at them.
Kaplan and Levein are American businessmen sharking around pretending to be "sports fans". Imo, these are likely to be worse than Tan up the road as theyll have no qualms about cutting the cords if required.
Hopefully we're wrong, i bet we arent tho. Jenkins is the mouthpiece. Hes there to do the talking and find cheap signings while the corporates pocket the cash. | |

Not only will retaining our best players prove to be difficult as they question the clubs ambitions, but getting new ones to sign up is likely to be just as hard. If rumours are to be believed and we put relegation clauses in contracts, lots of players won't sign up unless they can have release clauses inserted in their contracts as they aren't going to want to stick around with a 50per cent drop in wages on the horizon.
There is a real danger the trickle of players leaving will become a flood, we could also have a squad of disaffected and disgruntled players, we could also have a disgruntled manager and coaching team.
There needs to be some positivity and it needs to come pretty soon, or it could be a long season! [Post edited 31 Jul 2016 0:41]

The points you make are very valid. We could have created a situation similar to the one we were in during the last transfer window.
Then a lack of points made us relegation candidates so players were reluctant to come here with relegation clauses. After digging ourselves out of a hole on the pitch we should have been in a strong position but instead by clearing the decks before signing players we need to convince prospective players that we are not relegation candidates because we have failed with our other signings and high profile players appear to be leaving. We are digging a different hole, but just as dangerous.
Players also talk to each other and agents usually know what is going on at a club. | | | |
