I don't support selling Gakpo this season. Etitike is out until next year and Isak could shoot blanks. With Gakpo, he's an option as a forward with great work rate and physicality.
We also don't know how Barcola will fare and there's a lot of games. Keep Gakpo this season.

Hey Ron, I do agree. To play devil's advocate, in a market where wingers are a premium I can understand selling Gakpo and sourcing a back up striker to help Isak, which is likely to be far cheaper.
Barcola is obviously number 1 LW, and keeping Gakpo in case, or to cover striker, when we could potentially recoup 80mill doesn't make business sense.
Granted, im not sure we can trust Hughes, but can understand letting Gakpo go and getting someone in to fill the gap.
Not my opinion, just understand it.

If we can sign Sarr or Minteh, I'd sell Gakpo and go with a fresh look front three.
Barcola LW, Isak CF and Sarr/Minteh RW.
We'd then have Rio, Ekitike, Koumas and Munoz as the back ups.
Koumas and Munoz, I can see getting a lot of minutes this season. Their intensity and energy late on, off the bench could change more than a few games in our favour. It certainly saved us in the Newcastle game.

Do like Koumas me.

Weirdly, the thing that isn't posted on here is (allegedly) that Gakpo wants to leave and is excited by the project at Tottenham, according to various news outlets. According to some, he has already agreed personal terms.
