With all the fake rumours of Raul Jimenez being eyed up by the likes of Man U, Juventus etc, it got me thinking.
If you were the manager and forced to sell one of the following, who would it be and why:
Willy Boly
Ruben Neves
Adama Traore
Diogo Jota
Raul Jimenez
I would sell Jimenez as Boly is easily one of the best defenders in the league, Neves' passing is among the best in the world, Traore's pace is so important to our style of play, Jota runs at defenders and forces them into mistakes. Jimenez holds up play well but I feel that another striker could be moulded into a similar player whereas the others are unique.

Agree 100% Jas, I would be more than happy if none of them left. If I had to put my tenner on anyone it would be Raul, who seems quite happy to speak to all and sundry about how flattered he is to be linked to any team.

Assuming a fantastic offer came in, the player I would reluctantly sell would be Jimenez. And that would be due mainly to his age of 29. Logic tells me he is at his peak now.

The best answer is none of them but everyone has their price I understand why you say Jimenez but not if we were offered 10m. Would want 100m for Boly.
Age not an issue look at Moutinho he played 90 minutes right through the season we could only dream of a player with his quality at the Mol a couple of years ago same with Jimenez
Traore is a player who can do great things with big teams I think we can get a great price for him and still replace him with a quality winger.
