Maybe, depending how much we've manged to increase our revenue by and how much our profit/loss was in 22/23 and is this season. The £70m loss in 21/22 is probably a big part of any FFP issue we have and that will be gone from the FFP calculation in 24/25. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen any rumours of Lascelles leaving this summer. If he doesn't leave I'd be surprised if we added another RCB. But maybe. Things could get crazy these last few weeks as the deadline looms.

Alberto2005 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I'd be happy with Hall, but I think playing Lascelles worries me more than playing Targett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 1 hour ago, Mazzy said: The most frustrating thing in all this is if we could just shift Fraser, Hendrick and Hayden. Regardless of how much we actually get in for them (if anything) this deal for Hall could probably be done quite easily with them all off the wage bill. Does seem Hayden and Fraser have interest at least (Southampton/Celtic). Not a sniff on Hendrick though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Not sure a loan with an obligation will sway Chelsea, they will want the fee this summer to balance their books. 30m (25 + 5) seems to be about right for Hall, I wonder if we need to shift one or two of Hayden, Hendrick and Fraser to open up a gap in our wage bill first. Although Hall wouldn’t come in on that much, I reckon this one might drag on til the final days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 One more season of Lascelles at backup isn’t going to hurt anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the other way round for me strangely. Neither of them should be starters but I'd be more concerned seeing Targett in that team against City at the weekend than if Lascelles was in there for Schar.

Likelylad Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 The question is. If we get an injury to Schar or Botman. Could we count on Lacelles to do an short term job if called on? Obviously Howe has worked wonders elsewhere and he did ping a Schar like pass in pre season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lascelles was pretty solid away to Liverpool last season iirc. Lascelles as a backup isn’t a big a deal as some are making out imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSG Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Sees his best position as a centre midfielder but says he’s comfortable playing left back, left wing back or even centre back. One thing we seem to be targeting with players at the moment is versatility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawalls Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 So what I’m getting is a lot of people were saying “we really need someone to unlock those tight defences” so we get barnes, people then say “ffs - another season with burn at lb scares me” and as soon as we’re linked with one then people move on to “fuck - what if schar gets injured, we’d be screwed”.

Tbf if Isak gets injured we're down to one striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
