'Sell him in a heartbeat' - or is Gusto's price tag 'wishful thinking'?
[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked for your views on Chelsea placing a £75m asking price on Malo Gusto, as the defender continues to explore his options away from Stamford Bridge. Would you be happy to see the 23-year-old go for that money? Who could be a viable replacement? Here are some of your thoughts: Will: We should try to hold on to Gusto. We've seen throughout the season that he can be a bit ropey - however, he has shown spells of quality. Hopefully, if we keep him, he can provide good competition for Reece James in the starting XI, while also being able to step in if James has another injury-prone season. Ivan: I felt like Gusto checked out last season. He wasn't the only one, but the mistakes he made, coupled with his position as James' back-up, means he was likely to move on sooner rather than later. He had his moments and showed his potential, but the first half of the Conference League final showed he was a car crash waiting to happen. I'll take the £75m! Mark: I would sell him in a heartbeat at that price! He was never a Chelsea player, along with far too many of the others brought in by our clueless owners. We have to rip it up and start again thanks to them! Stu: £75m for a player who doesn't start, isn't good enough to start, and when he does start is generally awful? Wishful thinking at best, desperate at worst. If this is how Chelsea plan on recouping some revenue, they need to fire their accountants. Samantha: I don't think we should sell Gusto. Marco Palestra is a true wing-back, who would suit a back three, but we need the option of a more traditional right-back and Gusto is Premier League proven, flexible and defensively capable. There will be games when Chelsea play a back four or need another option. I don't feel we can play an entire season with a 21-year-old who is unproven in the Premier League as our only right-back choice.
