Wilson I think was always set to leave, just a matter of finding a buyer. Grujic I thought might be able to play a role here, but midfield is getting awfully crowded. I don't think the forwards you mention are any more likely to leave because of this deal. I suspect the club has reached a conclusion regarding revenues to come in for the coming season. I would guess it's more involved than simply, "we're paying this much for a player so we have to receive that much for other players."
I think we might see a midfielder leaving, we have a LOT of midfielders now; Henderson, Fabinho, Gini, Keita, Milner, Jones, Ox and of course our soon to be latest edition Thiago. BTW I'm never sure whether to class Shaq as midfielder or attacker.
