You suspect that selling Sanchez was the price for them also taking N’Dom on loan. If they are paying all but €1m of his wages that sees both deals being worth around a total of £22.5million this year l. If in the unlikely event N’Dom impresses enough for them to take him next year too (even in a free) that’s another £10m saved. The massive negative is we are left with our CB cover as Dier, two kids or converted fullbacks like Davies or Royale. We’ve got to pray the Romero and VDV stay fit and suspension free for 4 months.
