Does anyone feel like it's inevitable that we need to sell one of they core players for a minimum £70m+ in order to try and start building again? 

 

I don't see any other solutions at the moment. The  squad was already getting stale and it was only the return of Tonali that has helped boost it this season but there's very little beneath the first 11. 

 

It doesn't seem like we are able to sell the deadwood for sufficient funds to be able to kick on, in the same way other clubs are able to do. 

 

Seems like we're pinning everything on getting top 5 this year but it's gonna be a tall ask with so many teams competing for it. 

No the ownership shot their load early and brought in top drawer players en masse, they decided to turbo charge the club after takeover instead of building slowly.

 

We’ll undoubtedly see a more measured approach going forward, but I believe they’ll only sell if they think a player such as Bruno has peaked, otherwise they’ll hope to add to the core, once this 3 year PSR cycle which included the initial big spend drops off.

 

The only problem we might encounter is giving Isak a wage befitting of a 150 million player and staying within the new 70% limit if that gets approved. 
 

The last 3 windows and certain players like Almiron and Wilson dropping off the wage bill will give us room to invest this summer.

Generalising and conflating two points there I think (Waugh). Some sales are needed generally in PSR world, I don't think we needed £7m for Miggy to avoid a points deduction specifically.

Nor is it supposed to change it..it's supposed to explain it with statistics 

Why are you so angry against a statistic that just helps to paint a picture? 

Cos it's new and trendy, and i think it's something football hipsters try to use to make themselves look cool and knowledgeable when it shows nothing useful that couldn't be seen by watching 3 minutes of Sky highlights

Is xG part of PSR now and how does it effect us 🤔 

The way people bang on about it you'd think it was

Either that, or increase our commercial income.

They don't factor expected saves or expected tackles into it which if it was to mean anything they should.

I think that's exactly it. I don't think we're in any immediate trouble this year if we hadn't sold.

The problem with xG and especially xG stats/xP is that it doesn't take into account what is actually going on on the pitch and that football is generally a low scoring game. If a team is winning they are more likely to concede a higher xG than a winning team, but that doesn't necessarily reflect how the game is actually going.
