I am curious who is on the exit list.

I'm half expecting a few changes.
Collins, 1 of Lati/Binks, 1 or both of Bidwell/Dasilva, 1 of Simms/BTA, Allen. Would be my guess. Plus 1 big exit, looking increasingly like MvE.
Also not ruling out Robins coming for Eccles.

Robins will probably also still want BTA and thankfully he’s backed by people with more money than sense.

If Robins came in for Eccles and BTA, what would you ask for fee wise?

Yes agreed, £5m would be bottom dollar to take them both but no reason we couldnt stretch to £7m i would have thought.
Yeh i was think £6-£7 million too. Not an insignificant amount to add to the transfer pot.

It’s then replacing him - unless we have that ready to go then why would you let JE leave. Guess that changes if he pushes it because of game time perhaps.

but again, learning under Lampard for another season, that would do him world of good.

Wasnt there suggestions he was unhappy with his playing time near the end of last year, and Lampard wasn't overly keen on him

If by suggestions you mean so called ITK's spouting absolute nonsense in order to give their silly little lives meaning, then yes, there were a tonne of suggestions.

Can't see anyone offering £5m for Eccles, he's 25 so likely little resale value in 2-3 years. He's an average championship player, so you're looking at bottom half sides looking to consolidate, seems expensive to me.

BTA is a proven champ striker, can make a big difference to teams in need, could easily see us getting what we paid.

No resale value... he should be at his peak then?

Why would we want to sell arguably our most consistent midfielder over the past 3 seasons ?
Honestly some of the dross written about Eccles is pathetic at times . He's shown he's a top end championship midfielder, he's a big part of the squad and still has room to improve . Why would we gamble on another midfielder who " might " be better ?

Eccles isn't going anywhere but can see BTA moving on.

Let's just be realistic and practical, not only do we need funds from a sale of Milan (we do if we want to keep investing in team) but there is no way we have him and KKH is same squad, neither are back ups!

So I fully expect to see Milan go for circa 12m upwards, which I am ok with.
