I'm divided.
On one hand it's a lof of money and we cash in big time on him and we can reinvest in the squad for the summer window. But on the other hand I also feel like it's shortsighted.
Tel showed a lot in 2023, especially during the later half of the year. He saved us 3 points in the CL against FCK and United as well if I'm not wrong. When watching him play you can see there's talent in the boy and I believe he can be great. But Kompany apparently doesn't rate him or don't think he's doing well enough in training, idk.
I just wish we could've offloaded deadweight aka Gnabry, Sané, Coman and Goretzka.
But Gnabry and Goretzka never had any intention to leave as they're sitting on big fat contracts. Contracts Brazzo gave them when he was still here. Selling Tel will be like pissing in the pants to keep warm when there's 3-5 other players that shouldn't still be here in the first place.
Gnabry for instance should've been sold 3-4 years ago. He didn't play at a wc level since the 19-20 season. And we can see now that was a massive fluke from him. Since then he has been med or average at best. Coman and Sané are often the same, although Coman won us the treble, so I'm cutting him some slack.
Tel is the future, none of these guys are. I hope we have a serious plan with this, because if his sale involves keeping those bums then it's 1 step forward and 2 back.
