Think we'd only get that second CM if we sold Willock somehow, or loaned out Miley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted August 5, 2025 Share Posted August 5, 2025 2 minutes ago, Froggy said: There's some truth in what you've said, but not all of it. It's true that over the past few years, especially in the grossly mismanaged Woodward years, we used a revolving credit facility to fund transfers. This facility was maxed out at £300m by the end of 2023. We tend to pay this down over the course of a season. £120m was paid off this recently after Ratcliffe's cash injection, but it currently stands at around ~£200m. So there's ~£100m in available credit. I believe our cash balance was sitting at ~£75m this summer before any incomings. That's why we try and negotiate fees in instalments, and use the cash flow to fund the transfers rather than borrowing anymore credit as that obviously increases club debt and subsequently interest. Cunha - £62.5m, paid in three instalments, so £20.8m cash this summer. Mbeumo - £65m, paid in four instalments, so £16.25m cash this summer. If we wanted to, we could use the £100m on the revolving credit facility and go and buy Sesko outright. That's what we would have done in the past, but that's why we're in this mess now. Interest is killing the profitability of the club so I believe INEOS are trying to get this down as much as possible while still trying to remain competitive. In terms of running out of money though? No, not even close. Get back in your thread or go back to your Lego. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign Paqueta or Gallagher as the 4th CM midfielder who'd play the majority of games, get a loan/cheap 6th choice option to go and let him get games. The one I've been harping about for months is get Ndidi for £9-10m and send Miley to Leicester for a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd keep Miley as he has the basic capabilities to play holding midfield and can drive forward without losing the ball. Willock injury has screwed us over if he was meant to go Fulham. We need more press resistant players in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingArthur Posted August 5, 2025 Share Posted August 5, 2025 38 minutes ago, Sibierski said: Wilson can’t press after 60 is smelly bull shit. That’s after 30+ games where it starts to take its toll, having someone who can come on for him is massive and sees that not be an issue that’s heavily over played. Sesko has to come in and be a major hit to even have it be a net squad positive. Even if Isak went to PSG, it’s still terrible stuff. He’s an absolute standout striker. Replacing Isak with 2 strikers, one of them proven in EPL and another a big talent, is a good move. Isak is a great player, but if this happens (and we use extra money smartly) we are better off.
