Not sure that's true, the past few years we've banked a lot from selling academy players.

Tammy Abraham AS Roma €41.00m

Fikayo Tomori AC Milan AC €31.60m

Marc Guéhi Crystal Palace  €23.34m

Mason Mount Man Utd €64.20m

Ruben Loftus-Cheek AC Milan €16.00m

Ethan Ampadu Leeds €8.10m

Maybe pushing it with Ampadu but that's around £140m sold in 3 years, thats not bad going.

That's a healthy one but I should have clarified I meant those on cusp of making the team rather than already established squad players.

As an example , compare Gordon now of Newcastle but when at Everton how elong had he been in the first team and how many games under his belt when they were demanding £50m. Even Tammy who had lots of experience in UK and with us for near 2 seasons couldn't command a £40m fee

Looks like our interest is reemerging with Santos going the other way on loan.

Assuming that he would be brought in to provide cover for Nkunku's position rather than be out and out striker. He managed 8 Premier League goals last season which isn't bad for a support striker, and sadly was more than any of our players managed.

A loan there for Santos would be interesting. The opportunity for some Premier League experience and Steve Cooper is a decent manager.

On the negative side we would almost certainly have to pay a Premier league premium for a domestic player.

I don't like this on both counts !

Brennan is crap, and was looking forward to seeing Santos in PL action for us ... albeit having also signed Caicedo, Lavia and Ugochukwu since pre-season I don't now see him getting much opportunity sadly ... so a loan for him is probably now a necessity, but a hard no to this Johnson guy ffs.

Remember his miss against Arsenal?

He's giving me a panic buy vibe.

Santos was not even on the bench yesterday so he absolutely needs a loan to develop, he cannot be our 5th choice, or worse, at this stage of his career.

Johnson will be a SWP level of flop imo.

 
Im all in for Mason Greenwood. But I bet Chelsea won't be as he won't cost 100million pounds and doesnt play for Brighton. 

 
Not sure why our interest in Kudus died. 

Clear as day he doesn't want to go to either Brighton or West Ham. 

 
Current Hudson Odoi is better than Johnson and that's no joke.

Now watch us spend 50 million on him.

 
Think there are players around of a similar level to him that would cost a lot less. Gabriel veron from Porto, Rodri from betis or Thiago Almada look like they could all be serious talents to me.
