In fact I'd say there's no room for Maddison in that lineup, only the bench - you need a real right winger, and if we get the Szob, IF, I'm happy to stick with Almiron and Murphy for now in that position. Can't replace everyone in one season and the guys we have now know the system and are already part of the TEAM!

We don't need a "real" right winger while Trippier is effectively playing that role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 45 minutes ago, GeordieDazzler said: They aren’t in a Everton/Leicester situation where they are paralysed from making moves just that they have an overhaul to complete. Plus they may have players they could sell but they can’t shred their squad depth esp being back in the CL. How much will they get for Elanga, Van de Beek and Maguire assuming they can find buyers. The second two probably have exorbitant wages that will put off most buyers. Martial is a good player but is made of glass and entering the last year of his contract. Sort explains where the McTominey links have been coming from, he looks like one of their more saleable assets. I don't think Martial is a good player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 1 hour ago, GeordieDazzler said: They very much do, highest net spenders in the last decade yet in the same time Chelsea have made more than half a billion more in sales. They’ve spunked a lot of money on a lot of shit that they’ve lost for nowt, also the wages for Casemiro et al will be very high. Athletic reporting their budget (even in event of a takeover) will be around £100m to not fall foul of the rules. For a squad that needs some serious money spent on it that won’t go far. Net spend is somewhat irrelevant to this as it's about profit/loss To my knowledge they haven't posted ridiculous losses (like Chelsea/Everton etc) and they have significant revenue A portion of their revenue goes towards dividends and also interest on the debt, a takeover clears that for them They definitely have scope to continue to spend big, just hope they continue to spend badly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schar will get plenty of time. BTW, it would be hilarious if we ended up getting him because Maguire refuses to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at him in clips, he looks like he could play the wide positions or as one of the #8s in our system. Might make more sense to swap him and Maddison in the above formation.

sushimonster85 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 May be wishful thinking because it's only quarter past 9 and I'm already bored at work, but do think this is the week things start to heat up. All the business stuff with Sela and the new kit is done and out the way, season is completely over, window officially opens. Imagine we start hearing about actual moves this week.

JP Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Would Maddison being with England hold anything up? Appreciate a lot can be done behind the scenes but the player himself might put future on hold until that 2nd England game out the way (19th June). Crazy there are internationals during this shortened break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's precedent in the past for players being allowed to temporarily leave the training camp to sort a move. Though that's usually at the very business end of the move when they have to come in and sign the contract, take the promo photos etc. Doesn't seem like we will e at that stage till after the 19th anyway.

Seems like it will be either Ratcliffe or the Qatari's With Ratcliffe a couple of the Glazers would remain but as minority shareholders, think there would still be debt involved but at a much reduced rate than they have now With the Qataris it would make them debt free so they'd have way more scope to spend big, well bigger since they already spend big Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
