    I'd hate to see him go.. a really rare type of talent for us. Pure class footballer.

    Understandable though if we entertain a swap. We need Fraser and Ely made a massive difference when fit and has not been plagued by injury throughout his career I believe?

    Swap and £4m sounds about right.

    Don't think Elyounoussi has been plagued by injury. Some saying on here he's only had one serious injury in his career.. Think it was Vert now @frimpong something..

    No chance should we entertain that idea. I hate the idea of letting him go.

    Aye I'd defo swap him for both, that'd be a good deal for us.

    Blows too hot and cold for me, on his game he's brilliant though.

    I really like him too but Southampton payed £16m for Elyounoussi and we really need Forster, so in reality it would be Ntcham + cash, if and its a big if that type of deal could work. In reality with different agents etc it probably won't be realistic..

    Too many folk playing Champ Man. Deals involving 3 players and money are as rare as hens teeth.

    Since they paid that for him he fell out of favour at the club, came to us and spent half the season crocked. He's in the £8-10m range now you'd imagine. Forster was third or fourth choice at them.. they paid £10m for him years ago. We'd expect to get him for what? £6/7m?

    £16m for the pair and would I * accept £16m or less for Ntcham.

    Like Paul says, swap deals are incredibly rare anyway so there's not much point talking about it. But hypothetically it would be Southampton who would owe the money in my opinion anyway.

    No chance we get near 16 million for Ntcham too hot and cold for that. Maybe 8 to 10 bracket I would do a straight swap with Forster coming the other way add in a 10 or 15% sell on and it's a win win situation

    Elyounoussi is only a year older than Ntcham and at 25 is in his prime, he's arguably more established than Ntcham too.. Aye and like I said in my pervious post these type of deals are hypothetical, but there's no way Ntcham is worth Forster and Elyounoussi he's been nowhere near consistent enough in performance or attitude..

    Although last season he showed well in both.

    OK so, straight swap Ollie for FF.
    Just cant see both coming, would be 3M a year onto pay roll.

    Give Ntcham a new contract. Lenny is going to get consistency out of him and he will be a star.

    It would most likely be a direct swap, Southampton paid 16 million for Elyounoussi but was it said they were looking for around 9 million to sell him in the summer? Factor in Forster and that's a fair deal.

    I agree, however pandemics are just as rare and it will be intersting to see what happens with football transfers after this. I really like Ntcham and think he is a cracking player on his day, but if we managed to get a straight swap for Forster and Elyounoussi then I'd be happy with it.

    I think he needs to be playing next to every game for him to fulfil his true potential. Would try and extend his contract but would take anything upwards of £10m
