WilliamPS Posted July 26, 2024 Share Posted July 26, 2024 NO’s get rid list can now field a team; Dubs Trippier Lascelles Targett longstaff murphy willock miggy Isak wilson barnes & that’s before you get to Lewis, Fraser and Hayden. If someone could call for BDB or Bruno to go it would have a bit more balance though Thankfully the season starts quite soon so there’ll be actual games to worry about, instead of the accounts, but it’s getting a bit silly now, it’s a football club not a game of monopoly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isak guarantees 20+ goals every season, health permitting. He's dynamic and deadly, think we've barely scratched the surface with him. The only central striker I can think of who I could see coming in and doing close to as well would be Osimhen and it's highly debatable if we could attract someone like him without CL football at any rate. Think Isak is top 5 in the world tbh and got him at an amazingly opportunistic time and, with hindsight, at a bargain price really. I agree. He’s a player that is better than we are as a club as it stands right now, an overperformer. Which is exactly why we may need to cash in if we get an offer that is too good to refuse. It is clear we are not going to be able to continue to attract more players like him by selling our deadwood that nobody wants even if we give them away for free.

How about these then..? “Under FFP, if you sell a £50m player and bring in an identical one on £50m and the same wages, but amortise over the five years the player you are bringing in, that's only £10m a year so you are creating £40m of headroom,” Eales explained. “That's the reality of the FFP model. If you are churning players you create more headroom. We have seen lots of examples of this elsewhere. “[Philippe] Coutinho at Liverpool and they brought in Allison and Virgil van Dijk. [Jack] Grealish going from Aston Villa [to Manchester City] and they have reinvested and reloaded. Decan Rice at West Ham, it's just the nature of the beast. “If you trade players on, it creates more headroom. You have to keep growing that headroom [by] increasing commercial revenue and player trading.” Player trading is definitely part of the plan, and we can’t rely on there being a Minteh to save our bacon every season. Our star players are not exempt, quite the contrary I’d say. We’re operating a buy low sell high model here to eventually be able to compete properly under these wretched FFP rules.

Undoubtedly, but within that there are players you don't want to sell unless the stupid offer comes in. Right now I think it would take more than market value for us to sell Isak.

I don’t really understand the hype around Duran. Granted that he’s only young, and his goals per minute stats are….alright, but he seems to believe his shit doesn’t stink for some reason. Why would we bid for him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
