Soumaré - Sevilla currently - They have no cash

[Finnegan]

Tbh we have so few midfielders on the books we almost can't sell him atm

Previously has done best in a holding two at Lille, and with Cooper potentially playing a 4-2-3-1, could this suit Bouba playing alongside Winks in front of the back 4..?!

Benjamin Andre did all the defensive work in his holding midfield partnership at Lille. 
 

Bouba in a partnership with Winks, not for me mate.

If I see this arsehole watching an attacker run past him while he watches it happen V Spurs I am going to lose my shit.

Oh bloody hell. I forgot about this clown. Loan him out again immediately.

loaning him out may reduce his wages a bit but it is still writing down his capital value - better to sell imo

[The Guvnor]

He is gash and on a ludicrous wage, be with us until his contract runs out unfortunately.

[Muzzy_no7]

It’ll be a loan to a ligue 1 side with us still likely covering 30-50% of his wages and little to no fee up front.

It’s been a pretty poor move from day one to  be honest and we are obviously going to lose money on him.   It’s probably best to get whatever we can for him now and accept the loss . I realize it will be a FFP loss but it ain’t gonna get any better

Aren’t we always going to be worse off this way? We would let him go at a loss and have to replace him. 
It’s money not football I know, but we need to a little conscious of this.   

[Molson Canadian]

I expect he will be around for pre-season training.  I don't see him being transferred or going on a confirmed loan before then. 

[Sunbury Fox]

When is he contacted to? Is this his last year? 

[Wrighty22]

Can’t Chelsea buy him?

The alternative is to bring him into training camp and see what Steve Cooper can do with him

We have seen more ridiculous retribution stories (just about) in Jannik, so you never know!

[JimJams]

I am holding out hope that Cooper sorts him out and comes good.  In the same way I'm holding out hope that Gareth Southgate somehow develops tactical nouse and get an England side to put on a display that doesn't put you into a coma.

I’ve said this before. Don’t rule it out… 

 

I’m convinced that there’s a player in there somewhere.

Two years left - that should mean we sell him this summer to avoid him deciding next summer to see his contract out and leave for nowt. 
 

even if we can only get £8m, we should do that get his wages off the books and minimal damage to psr via his amortised value. 
 

of course if we get 8 then we likely have to agree to cover 4m ( 2m per season) re his wage differential elsewhere in europe (he’ll get 40k/week max). 
So we really need to get 12 to neutralise that additional cost..

[coolhandfox]

He definitely has something, just can't seem to pull it all together.

We'll have just under £7m left of his £17m on the books. So £10m would hopefully be enough to clear that and pay him off.

Sevilla’s option was around £13m which I think reflects break even on amortisation, wage balance pay off and his loyalty bonus

There is no chance of us getting £12m for him. We’re into a new year now, so I would rather take a bit of a hit on him now rather than have him leave on a free in two years. 
£6-8m would be good for me if we can find a buyer.

6-8 if they take on his 80k/week for two seasons would work (effectively 10-12) 

if it’s without then we’re only receiving a fee of 2-4 adjusting for the wage difference

We wouldn't take 4m on Iversen who didn't owe us anything, Rudkin would want more than break even.
