NWMag Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Hypothetically if we sold Maxi for 40 million, that would be a massive ffp boost surely? He can’t have much left on the books so that would be 30/35 million profit surely, could get another tonali for those figures. (He is 11 million a season) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(He is 11 million a season) Yep, and it is the lack of sales which also screws us on FFP. The profit would be: ASM sale price - remaining FFP amortisation = profit. So the sale of any player late into their amortised contract would be a hefty boost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you’d still have to decide whether to spend that ahead of time or wait until the actual cash comes in. I still believe we could spend £200m this window if we could find the players to come. Future revenue won’t help, as the three-year FFP window is the problem. This is the third ‘takeover season’ - so you’ve got 21/22, 22/23 and 23/24 - we spent large sums in the previous two seasons and racked up losses. So this season our spending is limited by this. There’s no chance that we spend £200m net without being smashed on FFP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 But it’s a constant rolling 3 years right? So some of our previous spending was covered by lack of spending under Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 In the absence of anything interesting happening, I'm starting my own Diaby rumour... He was allegedly a primary target last summer, but didn't want to move as he thought he might not get in the French World Cup squad (lol) He plays in a position we need to upgrade We'd seemingly have a free run at him Leverkusen have just signed a potential replacement Seriously though, please bid for someone.

But what does that do to the likes of Anderson and Miley, working and hoping for their chance and then seeing themselves being temporarily overtaken by a player who is just there to boost his own game so that he can be sent back to his parent club? I can see why Eddie's not keen on loans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really does show that we've still got quite a mountain to climb before we can compete in the transfer market in the same way as the 'big six'. We need Eddie to keep on working his magic for a few more years yet. But who's to say he won't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be amazed if we were waiting on Guler to be the first domino to fall in our pursuit of a RW. Hoping to get him as top target... if Guler had gone to Barca maybe there was something to be done with Raphinha... Maybe with those two off the table we might move on other targets.

Nobody Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I really like Barnes, but don't really want us to sign him. Can't really explain why tbh, but just not the type of winger I want us to sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 5 hours ago, Shak said: I'd hope that Tonali would be able to play those passes too but yeah, in general I'd share the concerns. Particularly with ASM being a huge question mark in terms of expecting him to be fit for very long. Personally I'd rather see us buy a winger and use Joelinton primarily as a CM who can play LW when needed, just trying to see the logic in going another way. If the wide players we really want aren't attainable this summer and the value is in building a quality group of CMs, I won't hate it. Go into next summer with fewer holes and better FFP flexibility and you could be looking at adding a Raphinha or a Kvaratskhelia level player instead of settling for a Harvey Barnes this year. Our squad is a prime example, but it's not just the quality of the wide player but the actual type as well. Joelinton and Miggy are both wide forwards who create little, especially Miggy. Look at their goals vs. assists. The obvious tactic then is to not play them together. Either Joelinton left and Murphy (get to the byline crosser) right or ASM (creator extraordinaire) left and Miggy right. Gordon is an option too of course. The aim is to get both creation and goal threat from the flanks. One thing with ASM is how low his xG is. He shoots, but only from poor positions. Maybe its on the player, but he does not get into good goalscoring positions. It would be a sign of player and team improvement to see ASM score a tap in.
