Just looking at what's happening at Napoli. If they lose v Chelsea today they're out of the ECL for the season. They're experiencing a major slump in form with half the team out with injuries and are down to 4th in serie A. If they don't qualify for next year's ECL is Højlund's "formality" transfer all of a sudden in jeopardy? Then we have the possibility that Barcelona can't afford Rashford. And then there's Onana. Trabzonspor have no obligation to buy. 2 years left on his contract, maybe £20m in unamortized cost at the end of the season plus (like Rashford at £300k pw), he's seriously overpaid at £140k a week. Is he sellable? I would imagine the club would prefer Vitek back from Bristol City, and be able to offload Onana and Bayindir.

It's going to be a busy summer. Hopefully business gets done early. I would love to see all 3 gone and the club use its resources to build upon what looks like it could be very competitive squad. Yes, we need to out the last 2 weeks in perspective. Until we consistently beat "lesser" opponents we shouldn't get too excited.

I would welcome Hoijlund back if we hadn't already got sesko. Rashford might still be good for the left of attack but I can see Barcelona pleading poverty and us selling him for peanuts.

yh the OP is right, will be following Napolis results closely in the second half of the season, hopefully KDB and Lukaku can come back soon for them.

Watching them yesterday, it looks like a squad running on fumes and needs some players back asap.

I’d take Hojlund back and he can fight it out with out only striker Sesko for the No9 slot.

As for Rash, not sure what he or we will do if the Barcelona move falls through. Has he done enough for them to want to keep him? They’re pretty blessed with attacking talent.
