Apparently Chelsea are really interested in Antonio and we've put a 30m price tag on he's head. 30m? Really? I know he's a fan favourite and all that but come on. If there still interested in Antonio for 30m that's got to be a straight swap for Batshuayi all day long. Sell Fegouli and go get Berahino or Hogan. Put a decent 8m bid in for Snodgrass. Sanson, Llorfa and loan Hoedt. Have another tidy up in the summer selling Sakho, Valencia, Ogbonna, Collins. bring Samuelsson back into the squad and go get a top quality Keeper. Why can't it be as easy as champ manager lol

So you would have a direct swap for Antonio and Batshuayi? Just because batshuayi was purchased for £33 doesn't mean he's worth that now. Chelseas 3rd/ 4th choice, hasn't set the world alight. Antonio will have 15+ goals by the end of the season. If antonio is worth £30, batshuayi is worth less then £20.

He's the top ENGLISH goal scoring midfielder or very close to! . If he were at Chelsea do u think we could buy him for 30m.? . Not on your life. he'd be minimum £50m. English players have a massive premium! . we know they have £60m burning in their pocket from selling Oscar and he's not twice the player Antonio is that's for sure! and he's not english!

one thing is hogans injury history i'm not convinced he will recover properly! I'd rather have andre gray. and I would never swap Antonio for Batshuayi. if they swapped and gave us 10 mill maybe but I wouldn want to let him go even with that. antonios attitude and drive is top notch absolute class act

I wouldn't sell Antonio personally. He is our most consist performer at the moment, and the only one in the side that you can see potentially scoring in games. Lol.

However, if Chelsea want Antonio and are willing to pay the £30 million for him, I think it'd be difficult to say no.

Personally, I'd want Michy Batshuaui + Nathan Ake in exchange on permanent deals for Antonio, with the possibility of taking Ruben Loftus-Cheek in exchange

Hi Die

Do you really think they would find it hard to say no for £30m for Antonio?

I personally think it would be nearer £40m plus to find it hard to say no

Although not the graceful player I have seen, he gives 100% every match he strong quick and most importantly scores goals from midfield, I would be devastated to lose him,

Bottom line is you don't get anywhere by selling your best players and this year Antonio has been our best we'd be stupid to get rid as we won't get anyone as good teams never improve when thier best players leave no matter howhat the monet is spent when we sold rio was a great example got more players but 1st team wasnt as good

Looks like i'm on my own with the whole Antonio thing then but there you go that's my opinion. I've always rated he's work ethic and he's great at scoring goals with he's head, but that's about all I like. Never rated him for much else really. In AC with got one of the best headers of the ball but no wingers who can put it in the box on he's head and I include Antonio in that. Boys got bad touch, skill, awareness. you take he's headers out of the equation and replace them with AC what have you got? Work ethic. really? When do you see Antonio striking a ball with either foot, curling one in from the edge of the box, splitting defences with a pass to our striker, beating a keeper one on one. the list goes on for me. love the lad, he's work ethic, for a winger he's great at getting to the far post and heading the ball in but for me and I can see I don't share the opinion of everyone, for the money being banded about, 30m, 40m, 50m. I would happily say thanks a lot mate, have a good one, see you later.

Why sell a player who performs most weeks, is a first team required player, is not wanting to leave, and as a plus is English? Not certain how it helps us getting rid of good players and taking a risk on someone else.
