Don't care where he goes as long as it's for a minimum of £60m. Sadly, even if that happens it wont ring fence Mitoma, Baleba or JPVH. Personally, I always think it eases the pain just a little if they go abroad so we wont come up against them. Of those 3 I think Mitoma the more likely to go abroad as I think a lot of premier league clubs might baulk at what we ask relative to his age.
I think you're right. I'm expecting Pedro and Mitoma to be sold this summer but I think we'll retain the rest of our star players.

I’d be interested to see how Pedro would fit into a side where he’s not the main man. He’s not going to walk into one of Europe’s top clubs and be technically superior to those around him, so he’ll need to do the less glamorous work of tracking back and not pretend he is injured until we regain possession. I think a move abroad suits him.

I hope we start to follow a Dortmund style policy of only selling one key player per summer. It strikes the right balance between staying true to our model whilst still giving us a chance to push on. The summer we lost both Mac Allister and Caicedo should’ve taught us how disruptive losing multiple big names at once can be.

He may not be a starter at a big club but he'll will improve every squad. A strong player to bring off your bench, capable of match winning moments and deadly from 12 yards.

Fair post, similar to Trossard in a lot of ways, the difference being Joao would be a much bigger price tags. Would clubs be willing to splash out 60 odd million on a squad player?

Without knowing the FULL story (as in all of the details and circumstances), it's difficult to say.

However, what has been confirmed about the JP v JP BUST-UP – and subsequently communicated – doesn't paint Joao Pedro in the best light for potential suitors.

What would REALLY help, though, is yet another thread that speculates about every aspect of the whole debacle :lolol:

Whichever club has a decent Villa and pool.

So it could be Villa or ‘pool.

Or more likely somewhere in Spain / Portugal / Italy / Greece.

I guess Marseille would meet the criteria too and present an opportunity to work again with RDZ.
