So how are we looking PSR related assuming this sale goes through before the deadline?

Do we have funds from July onwards? Does anyone know

Yeah, City have just rafts of talent, a conveyor belt of £20m+ youngsters who’ll see them (cough) clear of FFP issues forever. That’s where we want to be. Look at Palmer, very very good but they let him go. If that was us we’d be beside ourselves but they’re used to it and we probably will also have to get used to it. 

Man City have an elite and winning side though. A lot of the players they sell are not good enough for them. I’m sure many of their fans think selling Palmer was a mistake but the ends justify the means. They won the league again. 
 

Our situation isn’t the same. Man City have never sold a youngster they do not want to sell because of FFP

I'd rather you don't see me as a Man United fan, but rather as just an excellent forum poster.

Fantastic. Almiron and Murphy for another year.

Even if we ended up without signing a new RW, Gordon could still play as a RW and Barnes could be our LW.

It’s not going to be a big gun if someone does need to go. Will be Anderson, Wilson or possibly Trippier if we have to sell tomorrow

I never really expected him to play for us. Annoying since he looks good and he’s going to a PL team, but selling him was what I expected from the start.

It's amazing how many people have been hoodwinked by the club into thinking this is a good idea. 

 

One of europes hottest properties sold without a game played so we could overspend on players like Barnes. Tragic in every sense. 

I’m with you on this mate

Dear me.

Ignore the cunt, reports were we needed £30m and now shock horror the sly6 mouthpiece says we need more, sure the Swiss ramble said we needed about £30m I’m inclined to believe him over the sky idiot

He’s the most talented RW we have in the squad. His ceiling is a £60m+ player in the weakest position we have in the squad. We could’ve sorted our weakest position in the squad with a £8m transfer. Instead we are likely to sell another player to fund a £30m+ RW that will be a significant FFP burden for another 4-5 years. Borrowing from Peter to pay Paul type stuff. 
 

 

It’s the best result all things considered. But it does suck.  Had we sold a player we were happy to sell, everyone would be happy. If Minteh was a CM, less people would care. We have lots of options there. We don’t at RW. 

 

Wait, so you think Minteh was the answer on our right side? You are that convinced of him already?

If true, it's pretty poor mismanagement. I'll blame Ashworth.

[Colos Short and Curlies]

There’s no way we are that far in the eed

on PSR to need to sell Minteh and AN Other, I’m not even convinced we have breached without the sale and this is just making sure in case the PL play silly buggers with anything such as the Aussie tour.

 

another thing we could have done - and could still do to release some benefit over the summer is to agree free transfers for the likes of Hayden and Fraser and releasing the wages provision that we’ve booked. Only a couple of million in it but every little helps

Has Barnes ever played on the right ?

I would like to see him tried on the right, he seems from highlight videos to be able to use both feet which many of our wingers aren't able to.

Can only judge our business once the window closes, really. Even if we kept Minteh we'd need to buy a first choice RW option imo. Trying to finish top 4 with a 19 year old as first choice with no experience in the league would be a huge gamble. 

 

There seems to be relatively little genuine interest in Minteh considering we were desperate to sell and how highly rated some of our fans seem to think he is.

No it won’t be a big gun. Why would we sell Minteh for £33m then Isak or Gordon for £80-£125m when we only need £30m-£40m? Just sell Longstaff to Leeds for £15m if we need some extra.

Lets wait and see before getting upset about Minteh. At the end of the day if it protects Bruno, Isak and Gordon its a no brainer.

Rubbish all the same but at least we're not Villa selling their first choice CM after qualifying for Champs Lge... mental

Or we bring back the big Joe/little Joe combo down that side 

[Yorkie]

If this isn't enough to avoid a points deduction, man.

 

Hopefully it's as near as dammit and we can shift a less crucial player (Anderson?) to make up the shortfall.

If this doesn't sum up how completely daft PSR rules are, I don't know what would. The richest club in the world, desperately scrambling to sell a player to fucking Brighton to avoid having points taken away, despite the fact they could probably buy Brighton a hundred times over, while others like Chelsea do what they want and just cover it with bullshit like selling themselves their own physical buildings. And why? To avoid certain red clubs facing more competition, what the fuck are they afraid of? It's fucking insane.
