But it is costing us players down the line ultimately, again a roadblock placed on us by PSR when there was no need for it in our case. We have the money to keep the players and buy new ones. Whole thing is so obviously bollox. I would love us to challenge this as it’s so obviously anti competitive! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very good sign that Mitchell and Howe are aligned and working together. Ultimately, as long as this is the case I think we are going to be just fine going forward. Man City and Chelsea can't sign every single player afterall. Getting good value in the market is going to pay major dividends going forward, and we've got the manager to get the most of any talent that comes in too.

LFEE Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 1 hour ago, MagCA said: The club also need to take a look at themselves when it comes to selling players. Have to do better. Works both ways. Compared to the teams we are competing against we have very few players of any value. You can’t force other clubs to buy off us. Apart from taking the risk of selling Trippier a year ago I’m not aware of any offers we’ve turned down for our squad players unless I’ve missed something. ASM and Wood both surplus and sold for decent fee’s. Minteh sold for a very good fee. Anderson can be argued until the cows come home. He allowed us to keep Isak/Gordon so until we see what becomes of Vlac in his time here from what i saw £15m for him in those circumstances was fine.

This is why I’m not as depressed as I maybe should be. At least we have a functioning football club again. I do believe the PL will eventually have to find a solution that doesn’t result in such a boring transfer market. They’ve been lucky this year because Man City have dropped off and the league has become competitive. Edited January 24 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Really thought there was a slight shift in Eddies press conference. He was open about Dubravka staying (pretty much) He was open about us pursuing Khusanov He pretty much confirmed Miggy will leave He implied that Lloyd Kelly could leave if they got the right fee He was asked about the Greek leaving and didn't rule that out either. He also didn't rule out incomings, he said we weren't active but also said that we have still been doing the ground work (talking to agents etc) in case we did want to act. He also said "until something changes", which again implied that if we sell we might be active. My gut instinct is that we are waiting right until the end of the window to see if anything heats up. I highly suspect we will attract interest in some of our players late on, which could change our position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 It genuinely doesn’t make sense. Where’s the Guehi budget gone? We even can’t sign Khusaniv? Not that I rate him that high but no way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Are we basically saying we'd have been royally fucked had we actually signed Guehi, or are we back to making false bids to appease the fans? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I don’t fucking understand. If we even can’t sign Khusanov, what would happen if we did sign Guehi? For the reported 70m bid? Things aren’t adding up.

Presumably he was a player Howe wanted as part of his long term plan, so I imagine the idea would be to then sell someone by next summer who wasn't part of our long term plans.

The Prophet Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Hasn't it been reported a fair but that if we'd have signed Guehi we'd have needed more sales? No idea if Miggy and Kelly would have covered the difference though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 What’s really annoying is that Man C and Chelsea operating in the same market as us, highly rated young gems that could develop into elite talents. So you can’t compete on that level given their huge revenue advantages not even mentioning their academies. At least Man U, Liverpool and the others tend to have a different strategy for more established players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
