Ash Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 2 hours ago, Tsunami said: We may need to rethink our transfer strategy after missing out on Europe. I’d been told, on pretty good authority (one person removed from the player himself), that Bruno has been told that if we qualify for Europe that we wouldn’t need to sell him (based on current strategy) and he doesn’t want to go. Quite how this now unfolds will be interesting, do we try and offload some other players we weren’t planning to release, do we revise our list of targets to save money? One thing that is now likely to happen is that Clubs will be looking to unsettle the likes of Bruno and Isak with the attraction of European football and it’s something we can’t offer to prospective targets. I think it’s a bigger blow than it may look. Not doubting your info for one minute but this is something I’ve struggled to get my head around for a while when it comes to increasing our budget. Why sell off our prized assets when we have plenty of players who aren’t good enough for where we want to progress to as a club? Now Europe isn’t a factor and we don’t need to hit a club trained quota, Longstaff should be a real consideration to be sold, for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don’t get it either, the players that we will release this summer will save us in excess of £10m a year, that’s half of what we would have made in the ECL, and the sale of a longstaff or almiron will get us the rest of the way.

sushimonster85 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Always felt like it would be a big ask. He is super comfortable there. Would only think he'd have his head turned by a Liverpool or City, and they're not coming in for him. Can see him staying at West Ham for the rest of his career.

It literally means we could sign people before then and it having minimal impact on this years accounts, providing with have slight headroom in this years figures to do so.
