Losing both Amad and Mbeumo for a month because of the AFCON will be huge drop in quality on the right side of our attack potentially for games against Villa, Newcastle, Wolves, Leeds, Burnley and City.
Bruno or Zirkze could be options to replace Mbeumo but I do think we have no replacement for Amad's quality when attacking the opposition fullbacks in 1v1 situations.

More relating to the summer; would the sale of Bruno and Mainoo equate financially to the purchase of Baleba and Wharton?

Those sales would enable it easily. The accounting for incoming is spread over 5 years on the books and the outgoings accounted for in that year. ECL qualification from a PSR presepective means you could buy two of the names linked for those positions.

In terms of total numbers you will pay more for Wharton and Baleba ( though i am big fan of Anderson personally) than you get for Bruno and Mainoo, the first in his 30s the later is on the bench, i think Mainoo leaves in Jan whether on loan or transfer. Its a World Cup year and he isn't going to get himself into the England squad staying at Unitws.

I think Italy or Spain would suit his skillset.
