Sell Morelos for whatever we can get and throw in Hagi. We can then all breathe easy.
Most of our team have to prove they can do it over a full season...I’d honestly say a goal getting midfielder is much more important than four strikers when you play with the one central frontman.
Morelos is also yet to prove he can do it over a full season.

If the choice is Alfie or another CM. Then its Alfie all day long. The biggest issue we had last season was breaking down teams who sit in. The more strikers and attacking options we have, the better chance we do that. We control the midfield in just about every game we play domestically, so while id like a midfield upgrade, its not as important an issue as getting goals
Seems an awful choice,if we can persuade Alfie to stay ,but still need cash for a CM surely we could pick up a few million for Kamara,who would be much easier to replace however, I think it’s very much out of our hands and Alfie will depart.If that’s the choice facing us would you prefer we kept Morelos even if it meant that no more signings came in or would you sell AM (assuming acceptable bid) to fund a midfield addition?
While I’m sure we all agree that we could do with another midfielder, and especially a more dynamic one, I personally think the squad as it is would keep interesting. The issue for me last year was goals outwith AM, it’s early days but I think we can expect more from Kent, Hagi and Aribo plus Roofe and Itten.
Ideally we’d have signed Roofe and a midfielder if Morelos was to stay (IMO) but now we’re probably a bit top heavy if Morelos stays.
Anyway would you rather AM stays or CM comes in if that’s the option?
Sell Morelos for two new CMs - a proper number six and a proper number eight (happy with Jack and Kamara in the box to box roles) then I am in.
Roofe and Itten cover Morelos, I see no reason why we’d have brought them in without Morelos being for the off, unless he’s planning to use Roofe off the right.
