He’s the perfect remplacement/upgrade on Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Just checked out some highlights. Lovely player. The intensity of a young Hendo, but with Keita's ability to wrongfoot players. Won't be cheap, but a worthy Belligham alternative.

But if you could sell him for £20m, and start over with a different ‘solid’ role player, would you do it or not?

Simple damage control. Which is the mature and respectful thing to do. He did say what he said, but does have respect for the club and the fans, and will keep things private and nothing further from him.

I disagree with that take. Yes, he was smiling, but it was coyly, politely smilling, not sarcastically. We tend to avoid saying things bluntly in Senegal, especially important things. He was asked a sensitive question. And instead of swerving it, he decided to answer, and did so with the culturally appropriate amount of humility signaling and formal indirectness, reserved for important things. He casted it as something of a shared outlook, not simply emanating from his ego, and closed out with a formal saying/maxim about not talking too much about better things soon to materialize. So, yes, his answer was coy and smily, but it very definitive.

Yep, I can confirm, that's is exactly what he said in Wolof.... And it is even more affirmative than the translation. A sad day. Also, in the way he worded it, indicates there was some frustration that had been brewing for a while.

Sell AOC, Keita, Curtis. Get in a solid midfielder to replace Keita, and a young star to replace Hendo.

Sangaré is amazing. He is older than Tchouameni but was a top talent before going to PSV. Would be a Konaté vs. Upemecano situation again, hype vs talent.

1M a week... Not sure how we can structure that, even with goal bonuses...

That's ace!

We win on away goals!

Not his own absolute peak. But Phillip Lahm, retiring as club captain after winning his 8th, and 5th consecutive title for Bayern.
