sushimonster85 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 1 minute ago, STM said: Bruno will be getting a new contract very soon and it will see our highest earner on more like 150/200k, it opens the door to the possibility of others earning that too. Yeah, Bruno will likely remain the ceiling after Summer, but a new contract for him will likely open the door the higher p/w offers than we have currently been making.

The College Dropout Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 This is another factor about a "slow revolution". You can't have too many 200k p/w footballers on your books without starting to challenge. If things go well, Isak & Bruno will be 200k footballers. Botman 150k.

If Bruno is currently on £125kpw and they’re talking about a new contract already, it’s likely that he’ll be on around £200kpw this summer regardless.

andycap Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 If we could get Marcus thuram on a free in the summer and say mount for a knockdown price of say 40 million with the Chelsea ffp problems we will be looking strong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thuram and Grimaldo would fill two much needed positions for no transfer outlay. I'd be more in favour of that approach so that we can spend in midfield and out wide where it really matters.

Wages are the big problem with Mount. He’s already turned down Chelsea’s offer of £170kpw and is supposedly wanting £240kpw. Can see him going to Liverpool, personally.

If a club as large and historic as Napoli uncover a gem, and then immediately have to cash in whether they like it or not, we may as well let the ‘elite’ set their Super League away. It’s not like Napoli are equivalent to Brighton. Edited March 29, 2023 by SteV Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Grimaldo is a fantastic set piece taker and brilliant crosser. We’d have some excellent attacking balance with him and Trippier. Marcus Thuram as a powerful wide forward would be well nice too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need more clubs to say no to them. I don’t even mind Real so to speak these days. It’s the agents and press of the world just gasping at selling a player way too early to one of these bigger clubs every year that truly bothers me.

It's been quiet when it comes to Thuram, usually there is a strong link by now of where out of contract players may go, same with Tielemans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 25 now (26 in August), even if we do qualify for the CL this season we're still likely 2/3 seasons away from consistently competing for titles/European trophies. He may think he doesn't want to wait till he is 28/29 to be in that position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
