I did not know that about Nath. What a shame. I hope there is a good ending.

Didn’t have his best game but he wasn’t torn a new one. I think on Anderson’s goal he was the player shutting him down but you can’t really blame him for the quality of the shot.

His defending and recovery speed are his strengths IMO. Questioned his attacking quality at times but appears to be gaining in confidence with this every game.

I think it would be idiotic to sell now when the big clubs will be preparing a crazy bid in the summer. And then we'll have all summer to replace him.
I don't think we should sell him at all but you do not sell a rising star whose value is going up every week in January. Not unless you are desperate for the money.

I echo everyones sentiments. This lad is a thoroughbred, destined for the top. Hope we can hold onto him but all I can say is with Wilf likely to be off soon and AWB we do have some collateral there for the Surgery required on our team.

Way i look at it, Wilf will be gone this summer - unless we have a new manager in that excites him and the board release some funds.

However, let's assume wilf goes this summer as expected (to me it looks like he wants out) and to sell AWB also, we could be seeing anything from 75 - 100 mil generated from the pair (i'd guess 35 for AWB, 55 for Wilf).

Add that to our kitty and i would say there was 100 mil to spend - so when you line up who we have left..

Guiata
Ward, Sakho, Dann, Tomkins, Kelly, PVA, Papa
Luca, Meyer, Kouyate, McArthur, Schlupp, Townsend
Wickham, Bentke, Solorth

Add two decent strikers, one of experience and one potential, decent back up keeper a new right back, that's only 4 signings. Obviously and hopefully that shouldn't cost 100 mil, so then you got wriggle room in jan and the following summer to replace and evolve the team.

Although

Prob only paper-talk at the moment but would you let him go or for how much?

I wouldn’t swap AWB for any other right back in the country.
He can’t cross like Trippier, he hasn’t got Walker’s power going forward, but as a defensive right back with excellent timing in the tackle he has no equal this season.
He will only get better and I really hope we can keep him for a bit longer.
This will depend on the type of offers we get and his own ambitions.
Unfortunately I only see the hype getting louder if he’s capped by England soon, but for once I feel that the hype is justified.

I can see him going City in the summer. Pep is looking to replace both full backs, given Mendy now has a very dodgy knee and Walker can be very dodgy full stop.

Expect AWB and Chilwell from Leicester to be their full backs next season.

Would be good to get Clyne back with the money.

To be honest, he can make the step up this summer - the training, the facilities, the culture at city, as an example, under pep, a top player shines.

Now, do i want him to go... honestly, yes. He deserves it, he has been nothing but a god send for us, he is 100% professional, he lets his football do the talking and his emotions are in check, he takes everything in his stride, he has handled his fame so well - i haven't heard much from him he doesn't seem to have a mouth or attitude, he just does the business.

Sure, another year would be nice, but... in football, you gotta take your chances.

It's that age old saying, if you love someone, you set them free.

What he will achieve will be amazing.
