But if we sold Rose for £20m, you'd question how the hell we'd replace him when that's the going rate for an average plodder.

I wouldn't want Rose sold personally unless there was someone the scouting network had identified as a target and I think £20m is too little. £25m-£30m I'd say but I have to admit, he doesn't seem the same player he was when he really went at the right back. That was his main quality and he seems to have lost that bit of pace that made his main attacking threat unique

We ain’t selling one of the best LB’s in England for 20m in this inflated market. Especially being HG. Yes he has had a few injuries but most players go through a spell of them. We could just rotate with Davies being first choice.

I think most people on here are there or thereabouts. If we did sell him, we would probably not ever find out the exact fee, but I would think, with Levy, it would be in the order of 25-35m. If he passes the medical, that is, which is a ginormous caveat.

Would be hard to turn down if we could get Shaw in for around 15mil...

I'd take that if the extra cash helped push our A/B targets for CM and WF through.

That deal would be part of the Toby deal I guess.
Maybe it'll be cash + Shaw for Toby, rest of the Toby cash goes towards Zaha. Then the Rose cash goes on a new CB. Then Modric on deadline day, well maybe not the Modric part.

Yeah why I mentioned him, would absolutely love him back here, genuinely think just putting him into our team would make us title challengers. Sadly he's too old for Levy to pay for.

If we were ambitious to win the league in the next two seasons, we’d be all over the possibility of bringing in Modric. Best player at World Cup, knows club well, and in the most key position (no. 8) that we need to fill. May be older than Dembele, but his build, style and fitness all more geared to playing at a high-level into his mid-thirties - as evidenced by three consecutive 120 minute appearances in WC, and controlling those games throughout.

There's always a limit to that. They say 'sell to buy' was due to squad numbers and not budget but its really about not having to sell fringe players on the cheap due to a weakened negotiating position.
I'm sure we'd have pulled the trigger on Grealish if we'd got a couple out of the door before the USA tour.

I don't think selling Rose will open the door for anything other than another left back.

He's definitely not a left back. He was ripped apart (understandably so somewhat) by Sosu on that side. He looks good on the ball and going forwards but he isn't comfortable there positionally, as a tackler or have the strength to make up for it.
Would like to see him more as a LM/LW, or even LWB at the worst, but imo made up to be a LB.
