They will know this though, you can’t keep that kind of thing from them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why, if we can, look at and use the Saudi league if they are willing. The vote went our way, so we can use it. If any of the Saudi teams have a willing to do it, then let’s use it and shove two fingers up at other clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennyBlanco Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 We don’t have the ability to sign a moderately skilled in form striker from a lower to mid level premier league team. FFP, brilliant ain’t it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingArthur Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I think the 73 million loss means we are not going to make significant transfers. If the limit is 105 million loss or whatever in 3 years, certainly we must be selling club now? We made quite an investment in January 22 also.

aussiemag Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 It seems we have to sell to buy. What would you be willing to sell each of our players for? Pope - 30 mill Dubravka - 5 mill Trippier - 25 mill Schar - 20 mill Botman - 80 mill Livramento - 60 mill Lascelles - 15 mill Burn - 15 mill Targett - 10 mill Krafth - 5 mill Dummett - Free Manquillo - Free Hall - loan Longstaff - 30 mill Miley - 60 mill Joelinton - 50 mill Bruno - 100 mill Willock - 40 mill Almiron - 20 mill Tonali - 40 mill Anderson - 30 mill Ritchie - Free Gordon - 70 mill Murphy - 15 mill Barnes - 30 mill Isak - 100 mill Wilson - 20 mill ————————— Total Value - 870 mill I’d be looking to sell Almiron, Wilson, Targett, Longstaff and Krafth. Dont renew Ritchie or Dummett. Bring in 85 mill pounds. Save 500k a week in wages. Sign a developing CB to backup Schar (30 mill) A starting RW (50 mill) A forward to replace Wilson (50 mill) Get Minteh back. A central midfielder that can receive the ball deep to beat the press. (50 mill) —————————————————- cost - 180 mill @ 36 mill per year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Boyo Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Longstaff, Lascelles and Target . They are players who can do a job, but just enough to get a few bob off otherwise keep the rest - some of which are injured in anyways . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggys First Goal Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Should do a job lot of players. Offer them to Forest or something. Gillespie Dummett Ritchie Kraft Manquillo Lewis Ashby Fraser Hayden Hendrick Should be able to get a combined £50MM for that lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 2 hours ago, arnonel said: I think the club are smashing it. The only tweak I would have liked to make, would have been to follow more of a Brighton/Dortmund type model I would have been happy to be patient, mopping up all the wonderkids, building to winning the league in 5-7 years. The disadvantage with going after elites is that the expectations increase, and we run into problems with FFP. After getting 4th, the perception is that anything else is failure. We are always playing catch up. Absolutely. Develop top youth facilities, recruit elite youth coaches and bring in some of the best available talent in the 15-18 age range. In a few years time we should have a conveyor belt of saleable assets and the odd Miley to keep us ticking over. Clearly due to FFP we can’t just bring in the finished article and expect to compete with the likes of City in a few years time. Also this approach makes us sustainable, so that if the Saudis were to leave the foundations would still be in place to keep the club going at the highest level.

That’s a good point. Brighton’s success has to be more than what Ashworth contributed in his short time there. They have an excellent scouting department and an owner who backs clever recruitment. I’m not really sure what our blueprint is yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 2 hours ago, TheBrownBottle said: It’s literally published. £105m in FFP accounting losses over a rolling three year period. All PL clubs books are published. It’s not made up, as Everton can attest. I mean can we be certain that the information published is true? Perhaps we can, I don’t know, I just think in football if you have money and the will you normally get what you want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
