We’re not near the level of having a youth system that can churn out sales, so we can’t load up on a squad that has no resale otherwise we’re just fucked down the line. Have to balance things and Mbeumo at £60m with likely £200k pw wages isn’t that for me. This season was a big output, but if he’s back to 1 in 3.5, is it good value?

The Brazil market gets overhyped far too much it’s laughable. Rather we spent £40m on three British players who are better. Could rattle off 15 names straight away that have moved in past 24 months and done fuck all, and cost probably like £300m. Then people will go ‘yea, but Murillo and Vini Jr’. Like us for every Wharton, you’d have a Johnathon Rowe. And that bottom player is infinitely better.

Meh, it’s time for Nickson to start getting creative again. It appears we’re shopping in the same pool as the ESL wankers - I noticed Liverpool and Man City are both chasing Ederson from Atalanta, Cunha obviously gone to those reprobates, Mbeumo, Guehi etc. Rather than getting dragged into these transfer sagas for established players where we inevitably lose out to stratospheric wages and PSR constraints, whilst wasting time, where are the next batch of our stars? Bruno, Botman and Isak were all on the radar of others but we moved quickly and decisively. I’m struggling to see why we wouldn’t roll the dice again in that £35-£50m bucket in the overseas leagues.

It’s just a stupidly good deal. Guy will be moving on to a top European club in January, guaranteed. Clubs obviously scared he’s lost his mojo after moving to Saudi at a young age, but that will be shown to be shite as he delivers an output he was doing at Celta Vigo that originally had likes of Man City / Barcelona interested.

And that's our problem. We could probably spend 200m on fees.. but our wage structure won't allow the kind of wages the likes of man utd, Liverpool can offer.

It’s obvious he’s going there. They shouldn’t be able to afford him but they’ll be minted once they sell Bruno.

Lampard?

It because we haven't got the reports we have got to the monitoring stage yet.

Don’t know why but I don’t feel like we are closing on any targets now

Need a Globemaster rather than a Gulfstream for that rancid pile.

Ego.

Dunno. Was that an EU rule? Presumably post-Brexit rules would apply now, at least for domestic competitions.

I can understand the Saudi teams having to pay inflated wages to get players to go over there but the inflated transfer fees make no sense. If a team will accept £50m, why are they steaming in with a first offer of £80m+?

I mean they absolutely should but I'll be gutted if they do.

Wait, are you going to a match?

Still laugh whenever I hear the phrase "the traditional big six".

Lots of Twitter chat that Mbeumo will go to Man U, looks like they could be offering him big wages.

I know it's not this simple and they've still had a terrible season, but Spurs sacking their manager after winning a trophy would be so funny. Proper "that's not what we do here"

I know you're earnestly trying to be a WUM and witty to boot, but it isn't working. Stop being a silly billy.

Aside from sorting out our summer transfer business? What's the point in a little more headroom when you're busy sucking up all of the oxygen?

But not as good as Kellehers, in my opinion of course. Also, I find the Cunha deal a bit strange. Amorim has been quite ruthless in his approach of weeding out the bad attitudes and egos only to have replaced them with another..

Even if you weren't being daft, that's not how FFP works. We don't need the 40m to buy players - money isn't the issue - 'headroom' is. Selling Gordon for 40m + a 30m trade wouldn't mean we have 40m left over to spend.

Marketing. There's an entire generation of under 30s in the wider football world who don't know that. And some very interested parties who would prefer they didn't and want to keep up the Saudi interlopers narrative so they can insist that the Chelseas and Tottenhams deserve special favours based on their historicity.
