I think we’ll have a summer window here that brings Martin Samuel’s recent article to the surface. The cartel going mad whilst we adhere to FFP as carefully as we can. Sick of seeing / hearing about it.

The cartel can afford to go mad under FFP.

Dominik #Szoboszlai publicly flirted with a transfer last week.

@NUFC

would like to negotiate down the €70m clause. Magpies can spend around €150m on transfers this summer. Potential transfer income included. Financial fair play must be taken into account.

@SkySportDE

 

Right on cue.


Potential transfer income included in the 150m? How do they know who we’re selling and how much we’ll be getting from them? Nonsense.

Out of interest, has anyone credible other than Sky Germany reported interest in Szoboszlai?

The player himself liked our instagram photo after defeating Brighton 4-1. That’s a very promising source if you ask me. Botman liked our Instagram post when he was still a Lille supporter player.

I don't believe it. Even Nottingham Forest can spend €150m, any figure below £200m will be a big mistake and a missed opportunity to establish the club in the top 4 right now, not later.

When someone says to me, would you rather spend 40m on McTominay or 40m on Lavia my answer is always the same: they're not mutually exclusive 

True but a bit of a let down if our two CMs are Lavia and McTominay when there has been so much talk about Szoboszla and Maddison (not to mention Ugarte, Thuram, and even Mac Allister). City have a match any offer and a buyout back for '24 for Lavia.

The problem is forest had to go crackers as most there team was made up with loans. So they were depleted massively hence the splurge.

...and we know a thing or two about missed opportunities around here.

We've already spent over £200m without bringing barely anything in. That said, I agree not to spend this window given what kind of attraction we will be with Champions League football would be a mistake. It's the perfect opportunity to take a leap in terms of quality that might not be there next year if we didn't qualify again, which is still more likely than not I'd say.

We’ve brought £20m in with the sale of Wood and Shelvey. I think the club have identified ASM as an asset worth trading if it loosens the purse strings for quality in other positions. ASM is at peak value now and won’t get any better as he relies on his pace!

If we can get 30-40mil for him, I reckon our budget will allow us to go big on 3-4 targets!

But then you have to replace ASM as well, probably at the same cost, so it doesn’t really create any extra funds

 

If there are other reasons fair enough, but I don’t see the club being willing sellers of anyone who would actually attract a fee as they would just need replacing

Anyone significant missing from this in terms of recent links that seem to have some amount of substance to them? I know some are unlikely or maybe even already ruled out (like Phillips and Veiga), but trying to get a sense of the overall picture.

 

AM/CM

Dominik Szoboszlai - £60.3M (release clause)

James Maddison - ~£40M

Rayan Cherki - £40-45M

Arda Guler - £17.3M (release clause)

 

CM

Kalvin Phillips - £40-45M

Romeo Lavia - ~£40M

Scott McTominay - £40M?

Gabri Veiga - £35M (release clause)

 

LB

Kieran Tierney - ~£30M

 

CB

Kim Min-Jae - £51M (release clause)
