And a lot of people wanted to keep Shelvey. Brilliant work in the summer and winter.

100% agree. Makes the frontline and midfield worse at the same time. Not our best lineup. Why did we spend £45M on Anthony Gordon?

We spent £123M last summer and then have the 4th place epl money + new shirt sponsor. £150M sounds about right.

Other teams will drive the price up. Also, we get £37M for fourth place finish and a rumored £25M for the new shirt sponsor. The estimates of our budget are never accurate. They started out to be ridiculously high and then went ridiculously low. I think the club likes the really low guesses.

I don't care if he goes to Spurs. I just hope Leicester squeeze every penny out of the deal. If they get relegated and sell cheap they have to wonder what if they had sold to us during the winter window for a good price. Nunes to Liverpool heating up. Don't care about that either. Pretty soon the path to some really good young central midfielders will be wide open for us.

£55M for a center back? That's a big part of the budget for a fourth priority position (after lb, cm, rw).

Or Chelsea lol

Is that really true? I thought Dan Ashworth said it was more of a committee decision where he was responsible for building a consensus. I've also read some Eddie Howe quotes that suggest he is not the ultimate decision maker. Old Dan Ashworth quote:

At what price? Romeo Romeo Lavia, Manuel Ugarte, or Kephren Thuram are very good options for the position.

Most overrated should really come into focus after the summer transfer window. For instance, Moises Caicedo has played very well but won't be worth the £80million Arsenal will pay (similar to a lot of Brighton transfers). I would add Richarlison (£60 million basically what we paid for Isak), Anthony Gordon (but still too early to tell for him), and Chelsea to the list.

Liverpool transfer target Alexis Mac Allister has decided that he wants to play in the Champions League next season, according to The Athletic, which could mean that a move to Anfield is less likely.

How about Tierney & Anthony Gordon then?

opportunity = fans wanted to kill him. I think he would have been sold in the summer if we didn't bite.

Ryan Frasier, Jeff Hendrick, M. Gillespie, Andy Carrol, Kyle Scott, Jake Turner.

So RB Leipzig are going to make him the second highest paid player on their squad? Nice girlfriend:

Anthony Gordon needs more time, but he really didn't do anything at Everton before we bought him.

Really hope not.

It would add another position to be filled in addition to lb, cm, rw. I think if we sell ASM for 30m and buy another like Gordon for 45m we will be worse off.

Might as well just pay the Manuel Ugarte release clause £53m or go in for Kone or Lavia. We have several options for defensive midfielder.

€240,385 per week

Adrien Truffert and Manuel Ugarte would do.

Diaby really plays on the right and scores a lot more goals than ASM. I don't want to lose ASM either but would gladly drop him for Leao.

Newcastle, ManU, and Liverpool end up tied. Newcastle and Liverpool through on GD. I doubt this happens, but it would be pretty funny.

That would probably require a lot of free transfers and wage inflation. Doubt they want to bring in that many.
