Shearergol Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 It's really not silly money anymore either, particularly when you then go to spend it and find that that'll get you someone like Grant Hanley. Or it could be the difference between signing or not signing a new centre forward. I highly, highly doubt that. It could be the difference between signing a £15m striker or a £21m striker though.

Howay man, it's obvious what I'm saying, it's not as simple as saying 'we're getting 6m for this player therefore we're spending it on this other player'. If it goes in the pot of money that Rafa can spend, the pot gets bigger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this money will end up in the transfer budget, and it shouldn't be. It should be used primarily on the youth setup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 At the start of the week I was really pessimistic about Rafa's future here, but it's looking a lot more promising now after two important signings that were clearly both Rafa's choices. We're not out of the woods yet but if all signings are in by the Spurs game, you'd hope everything will be alright. My worry remains about the amount of players currently on the books. Hopefully we can get Krul and Murphy out asap because one would imagine their existence here is potentially blocking incomings. Not to mention the likes of Saivet and Lazaar.

Optimistic Nut Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Sorry. He's 3rd in the pecking order, we'll need two CMs. I could see us signing one now and then another either in January or next summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colback, Hanley, Saivet, Lazaar, Murphy, Krul Fortunately Hanley's existence didn't prohibit the Lejeune signing but aye, I'm sure we're keen to offload him all the same. Colback will be here until his contract runs out I bet. I think even Rafa sees him as a valuable member of the dressing room. Hopefully he just won't play much. The others, yeah, they need to go desperately. Riviere too. Arguably Mitrovic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colback - Jun 2019 Hanley - Jun 2021 Saivet - Jun 2021 Lazaar - Jun 2021 Murphy - Jun 2018 Krul - Jun 2018 Riviere - Jun 2020 Haidara - Jun 2018 So, if we can't sell them theirs a ton of dead wood earning millions, all using squad places.
