Who will most likely leave AFC:
- GK: Ramsdale will not stay another season as a Nr.2. Newcastle is interested…
- Defenders: Cedric will leave for sure. Tierney and Tavares touted to leave as well.
- Midfielder: El Neny has confirmed his departure. Lokonga will most likely leave as well. Two big question marks: ESR and Fabio Vieira and one smaller one: Partey.
- Forwards: Marquinhos will also continue his development elsewhere. Two big question marks around: Nelsson and Nketiah and a small question mark around: G. Jesus.
Concerning the big questions marks –
- I won’t mind seeing Vieira leave, even on loan same for Nelson
- I think we need some cash injection so I would reluctantly let Nketiah go
- I am keen to keep ESR
Concerning the small questions marks –
- I would keep Partey but not at all costs. If we receive a very good financial offer, we should let him go. Otherwise, he is a valued squad element so could be kept.
- Same feeling about G. Jesus.
Players that are not linked to an exit but I would not mind seeing them leave: Kiwior.
…Next week, I will put a post up about incoming players and players you would like to see join.
I agree all the way. But feel a little sorry for Fabio Vieira. He have such a miraculous left foot. On the other hand, there are other good left foots in the club: Saka, Ödegård etc.
Fabio Vieira – maybe we loan him out to a team fighting for EPL survival. He probably needs more time to adapt to the EPL demands…but as you said, between Saka and Odegaard we have talented lefties…
