?There?s no preference at the moment. It?s still early. What we?re saying today won?t apply tomorrow. Newcastle couldn?t let him go now, and there?s no point in moving, especially since Sandro is very attached to the club.

He's off, then.

This season is a bust, we all know it. Yes, we could turn it around but we've been saying that, more or less, since September. There are many rabbits off, amongst them the reason for his own drop in form... but

...a fit and firing Tonali is just about the best midfielder I've seen at this club but, if he wants out, we can't afford to hold on like we did with the rat. Get him out early and buy our first choice replacement so we don't end up with the Wissa version of a replacement midfielder.

I really hope he stays but he could walk into any of the top teams in Europe, imo, and won't want to hang around if the rest of this season plays out the way it's lookiong like it might.

Thoughts
I rambled on this subject in the 'Out Scouting Network'

Selling Sandro
Sandro - 110
110+465 = 575m
70% of 575 = 402.5m

My thoughts are that the player is contracts until 2030. The buying clubs are gonna have to pay Enzo Fernandez, Caicedo, Wirtz money because last season all the Cartel media shills were calling Sandro 'The best Midfielder in the Premier League

I've been modest with 110m quid. With inflation the lad is worth 120-130m.

What NUFC have to do as a club is set a deadline, You can leave for this price, before Pre-Season. No counter offers, no add-ons, 120-130m before the player reports back to the club after the extended break after the world cup or the he is with NUFC until summer 2027.

Last summer was a joke with the club being lead around by the nose like amateurs.

Ideally the lad goes to Madrid or back to Italy, however, we know clearly that Juve can't afford him.

Going to a Prem Rival should not be an option. The deal for Bindips or Ars should be priced 15-20m above the 120-130 price.

Make the signing hurt the buying club
