I dont think selling Soule would be such an issue if his potential replacement wasn't so mediocre

At this point in time, despite the off the pitch/mentality issues, Sancho would be a godsend compared to most of the names we are rumoured to. Especially if he is on a loan. I know 100% he is better then Soule, and at his worst would be same level as current Chiesa. Otherwise he is just someone who has x factor high level ability in creating for himself and others. Top level baller, even if theres question mark of how long he can maintain that.
I'm not sure Soulé is better right now but potentially yeah. It's simply not a guarantee, however, that a young player does well for a season and then gradually improves year on year until they become a great player.
Roma will be a good place for him - unless Dybala gets in his way - as these sort of players often do well there in their attacking teams who often play three forwards. He might be another Iturbe (same age, country, position, impact at a provincial club, move to Roma). Time will tell, but I think Soulé will have at least a solid career. I find that wingers and wide attackers are often the most inconsistent and annoying players of a squad.
I look forward to weekly updates from yourself and @Suns though as to what we are missing.

I'm not crying about him, but he was the standout player in a relegated team, which is a big achievement if he played well against better opponents every game. Goals, assists, and leading the team despite being surrounded by weaker players.
Gonzalez played well for a much better team that were gung-ho attacking. They had a good run in Europe too, but under the circumstances, perhaps a minimal upgrade.
If we get a playmaker then great, it makes sense to sacrifice him. If we get Adeyemi then fine, he's a different type of winger so I get that maybe we want to play a certain style. For Gonzalez though? Only makes sense if we didn't get any main targets so we settled for him: a mistake in other words.

I think I know what’s really going on here by putting the pieces together.
Nico Gonzalez is a target for Atalanta as was Oreilly. I think Juventus is showing interest on those for that reason although it could also mean that there could be genuine interest in Nico.
Mckennie is liked by Fiorentina and the Viola have already done a deal with Juventus earlier for Kean. We also know that Atalanta need a defender so Rugani or Facundo Gonzalez might be bargaining chips too.
But my gut tells me Nico is all about Koopmeiners.
