Today we break down opportunistic selling: identifying players whose stock may never be higher, Arsenal’s “next Coutinho moment”, and the uncomfortable (but essential) conversations big clubs have to get right.

We discuss:

⚖️ The big debate: if you HAD to sell one — who and why?

🎨 Ødegaard — keep or cash in? We disagreed…

🌱 Hale End talk: Nwaneri vs Lewis-Skelly, and Max Dowman's rise

♻️ Fringe players: White, Jesus, Merino, Trossard, Havertz, Raya & more

🇮🇹 The new Italian scout — Maurizio Micheli explained

💸 What fee would you accept for Bukayo Saka?
