J P van Hecke

He is at the peak of his value and should Senesi and JPVH be signed he would be the 6th best CB at the club. His value is the peak it would be and we will probably get £30M for him.
If we sold Romero and Dragusin, and brought in JPVH, Senesi and Vuskovic, there is a solid business case to be made for selling Danso, especially with no European football next season.

It appears RDZ wants CBs who excel at progressing the ball and, notwithstanding his many positives, that is an area where Danso doesn’t particularly stand out.

I’m not advocating for Danso’s sale, but I do see the logic in the proposal. We could make a $40-50 mil profit to spend on difference-makers at the other end of the pitch.

6th best? VDV is not a better defender than Danso. Romero is comparable imo with Danso being more reliable. Vuscovic remains to be seen.

Doubt we would get that much but £30-£35M would work. Danso be unreal for a Sunderland.

Swapping out Romero, Danso, Dragusin, Phillips for £100M and getting JPVH, Senesi and Vuskovic back for £50M. Great stuff.

Romero 60 mil
Dragusin 20 mil
Danso 35 mil (quite conservative valuation, think he could be worth more given his age and contract length)

TOTAL: 115 mil

JVPH 30 mil (max for a guy with one year left)
Sensei Free
Vuskovic No Cost

Potentially enough to buy Savinho plus some extra.

The talk is £50M for Van Hecke. Romero will go for closer to £45M.

No chance JPVH goes for that with only one year left on his contract, especially if Guehi went for 25 mil.

By contrast, Romero has at least 3 years left, is in the prime of his career, is a WC winner and has a much higher profile.

Or we can sell Romero for £60m and get rid of someone that's unreliable and not a better a defender than Danso?
