I would keep Gapko. He has prem exp and is backup to Isak.
I would send out Rio on loan to Brighton or Crystal Palace.. and sign Minteh or Sarr.
Will give Chiesa for 5M to sweeten the deal.
Other options are Fofana and Pazzo from outside Epl.
Isak, Gapko, Barcola, New RW and Munoz should be enough till Jan when we get Ekiteke as long as it's not Minteh.
Also buy someone like M. Kone and try to send Endo in opposite direction.
Finally let H. Elliot have his pick if any clubs interested around 20m mark.

I think many of us would, I guess it depends on who we sign for the right and whether they can also cover CF. The club may see this as an opportunity to cash in and recoup some money.

Munoz, Barcola and Wirtz can all
play cf or false 9, in Wirtz's case, and are all
more suited to the system than Gakpo is.
If we are backing Andoni, let’s go all
in and move
on from Edwards' fantasy football.

Bhav-reds,
Minteh is exactly what we need. Rapid and gets crosses in early. Young and plenty of time to improve, too.

It staggers me that people think we can just buy, sell or loan players without the agreement of other teams or the players. This is not Football Manager.

We certainly should not sell Gakpo to a direct rival like City, and definitely not for less than £100m if they got £85m for Savinho, a younger but worse player....

Is Rio digging that new contract if he knows we want to send him on loan?
