I pity the buying club in a year or two time. What goes around comes around.

His mate Joel asoro was sold for £5m so he thinks he deserves it too - oh wellMaybe he could open a chain of Burge King restaurants where you get a freebie for beating him in a dash to the half way line

Played at SunderlandHow does he know Asoro?
I felt that in the relegation season we had 2 keepers low on confidence not helped by the constant criticism of both of them. Burge emerged as the stronger character and now as the better keeper. Your view of him may be shared by many as was the view that players like Maddison and Wilson wouldn't make it above the league we were in. Not very good judges are we?After Willis and Burges’ abysmal showings (by no means on their own) during the relegation season, I wanted them out of the door as the whole team were a disgrace.
In truth the L2 campaign probably done more good then bad for these 2 in particular. Willis if he wishes to chance his arm at the Championship I would wish him all the best but I fear he would be out of his depth as he would be coming up against the likes of Abraham every week.
Burge would be so out of his depth I feel it would be embarrassing for him, and after his years of cockups in the first team it would be sticking 2 fingers up to the club who could have easily binned him but that’s football I guess and we have to remember it’s a short career and in reality it’s their job first and foremost.
Davies would be replaceable and his level is L1 at best but can understand if he wants to move on especially now Hyam has come to the fore.
All three I’d class as senior players, looks ominous to me and if we put them alongside Doyle, Ogogo, Andreu and JCH that’s a lot of experience to replace this summer.
I hope it’s not our at the moment unclear future sparking this.

I'm sure the unclear future of the club probably would've been discussed between the agent and their player. How much of an effect it's going to have with regards to contract discussions is something only they will know. Regardless, as it stands we're set to lose 7 player out of 18 match day regulars so you're right MR certainly has a big job on his hands in the summer recruitment-wise. But I'm sure himself, AV and Badlan are already working day in day out to draft a pretty extensive shortlist so I'm not particularly worried.
7??? Are we? Who? Willis, Burge, Sterling, Thomas, Davies, Bright? Who's the 7th? (Genuine question...) I agree it;s a huge task to replace so many... I think most are replaceable- perhaps not Thomas, Sterling to the same standard of player, but can get some decent players in i'm sure.
Willis i think will sign.
And Julian Gray makes it 10
Stuart Bevon?

wtf??? when?Gray's gone M8
Not surprised he didn't go in January, as a free agent he'll get a much larger signing on fee. May be unrelated but I saw the Bristol City scout at the Gillingham game which after the window had closed.
Willis had better hope the scout left early and didn't notice the header back to Burge for their late equaliser! Bristol City are on an incredible run right now, and so I would have thought Willis would be a bench warmer (at best) in their current set up.

For me, Willis has been our best, most consistent player this season. Yes he made the error against Gillingham, but I can't think of many other goals that could be attributed to him this season. Alongside a bigger powerful centre half partner, his extra pace could easily allow him to play at Championship level.
