Even with Papy's recent form? That bloke has been a rock the last few games. Who wouldn't want CBs performing like that? I sense you're one of these who doesn't like to gave overseas players time to settle and adapt. I'm polar opposite. I'll give any player a season to adapt to this league before I spit my dummy with them.

Papy certainly has improved. Still at fault for a lot of our goals this season, switches off at crucial times. Was at fault for Swansea third and the Leicester goal in recent games.

We can get better and personally would rather see Denayer get his chance. Anyway he won't be moving nobody will rate him as 8 mil let alone us making a profit.

As good as he is, he is only a goalkeeper. They by and large go for a lot less than outfield players because they just aren't as valuable.

Top goalkeepers should be worth far more than that in this day, age. It just needs teams to toughen up, and demand more, and their value will rise. As it is, we are not in a good financial position, so we'll likely accept less anyway, just to clear the debts.

Anyone who wouldn't be against this has to ask themselves what they f***ing want from supporting SAFC.

We won't see another goalkeeping talent like Jordan playing for our club in our lifetime so why sell him ?

The £20m will only reduce the personal loss Ellis walks away with if he does sell up.

Spot f***ing on!!!!!!!

I want to watch Jordan in goal for us week in week out, I couldn't give a shite about the money
 
If we have to sell, hold out for a record breaking transfer fee plus loan back to us til May.
Pickford shows so much promise ... and the top four have money to spend.
At the very least, expect a bidding way between the gunners and man city.
 
He is young, English and miles ahead of his peers 20 mill is a joke. We don't have to sell, would help to use funds to buy players but we will manage without.
 
So that's Pickford and Defoe offski?
We keep on selling the good 'uns but is it just me who's noticed it never seems to impact on our FFP status? I'm sure there's a new Roberge or Scocco waiting in the wings. Yay! DM's on the record as saying he's disappointed but maybe this news might just push him?? What are the odds on him going walkies?

Apparently they are giving us £20m and loaning him back for the season.

Sorry if SEB but couldn't see it anywhere

If we spend the £20m in Jan, then keep him for the season then that's great business.

However - as as club, when do we 'ever' do great business ?;)
