It was fairly obvious Saido was going after being left out yesterday, so the transfer request doesn't mean much.
Personally, I think he's a top player and I'm sad to see him go. I think he'll score a hat full of goals for any side that can actually slip him through from open play.
That said, I thought we looked better with 4-5-1 and Rondon is a better option for leading the line on his own. So if the money is invested wisely, we could have a better 'squad' for the sale. My worry is if we waste money or overspend on players who aren't even going to get in our side.
Townsend and Fazio as part of the deal would be a good start... Although I can't help thinking Saido will go to Man Utd.
