Lose Xhaka for 30m - save 100k a week on the wage bill and inherit 450k plus. Plus Herrera and Rabiot will get better offers than here.
I would take both however.

Inter can’t afford Xhaka

Yep. I think our midfield improves significantly with Rabiot and Herrera with Torreira sweeping up behind. Ander is versatile enough to play all across midfield and a very intelligent tactical player. Unlikely we'd be able to get em though I agree.

Torreira was never a beast this season. He was a signing everyone was excited about, is easy to like as he gives his all and that goal against Sp**s obviously only increased his goodwill from the fans. He did have some pretty good games at the start of the season but some people here make it seem like he was dominating the midfield in game after game.
I still believe he will be a very useful player for us but I have been disappointed with how little responsibility he takes on the ball and in the build up.

Because he spent half the time covering Xhaka's short comings. Not just him though. The entire team has to babysit Xhaka.
It's glaringly obvious Torreira has a few levels in him while Xhaka running a little faster or taking a player on or not committing fatal errors is seen as some kind of huge feat in a game. Kind of like Özil.
Tbh you could probably sell Xhaka and just replace him with Guendouzi already as the deepest lying midfielder.

So hard to sell players when you’re a PL club. Useless they are really wanted by a top club you have sell at half the cost the buying team would want if it was the other way.
Wages also play a part obviously, we need to stop giving **** players twice their worth.

I don’t mind selling Xhaka (and properly replace him) but not at that price. £30m is what Torreira cost us and he’s been outperformed by Xhaka this season.

This proves why Xhaka is so critical to this team. Look at those final third entry numbers. He’s the only player we have to consistently bring the ball forward.
Comparing visual stats out of scale :rofl:
I agree there'd be a drop-off in quality in some areas at first, but in the long-term I think Guendouzi develops into what Xhaka does now but with more mobility. Or just get Rabiot, I don't f*cking know.

Can't wait to get rid of Xhaka and Mutsafi. The Error Twins.

Yes outperformed him in giving away goals and penalties.
I really doubt we replace internally. Guendouzi was a great bonus this season but would be insane going into 19/20 with him anything more than a squad player.
Midfield is thin as it is without Ramsey or any competition for Lucas. Looking at potentially three central midfielders this summer with just the Xhaka fee? :confused: That option on Bennacer must look tempting.

Xhaka outperforming Torreira?
The guys a liability on the ball when under pressure and has been directly responsible for several goals we’ve conceded. We need a more dynamic midfielder who doesn’t **** their pants when being pressed who will also unshackle Torreira as he’s being restricted by Xhakas limitations

Xhaka has outperformed Torreira more times than not this season, look up the stats. Big performer in important games too. Selling him for just £30m would be a crime when a Torreira level player costs that much these days just to replace.
If we sold Xhaka and Elneny I'd like something like Partey, Bennacer/Rabiot and then promoting Willock and AMN.
Wouldnt cost too much at all considering Partey's buy out clause

This isn't happening. Xhaka is our best midfielder now that Ramsey is gone. That says more about our other options but still..
Secondly, in a world where Fred costs 50 million, why on earth would we sell Xhaka with a long term contract for this amount?
Whether you rate him or not, it would be insane.

Who gives an actual **** about stats when the blokes giving away the ball and penalties in important games and moments? Silly comparison.
