So many fans are actually deluded. Claiming they can have at a discounted rate because we've been relegated. Hilarious.
I can kinda understand it with Che, He has a year left. But even so, He's a striker that's still pretty good considering, and that'll still fetch 15 - 20 Million.
Che's not fetching 20m with a year remaining, having scored 5 goals in consecutive seasons. If offered half that, we should take it.
Yeah the assumption is you need to offload anyone and everyone desperately to survive and feel like they are doing you a favour by taking players off your hands. We are financially stable as is and due to make around £100m from the likely sales of KWP, JWP and Lavia, before even considering ABK.
There's a difference between 'financially stable' and 'capable of passing the much more rigorous financial rules in the Championship'. Remember, we did not pay all of our transfer fees up front, and we will not be paid all of our transfer fees up front.
Agreed, whatever we bring in (circa £100-200m) I would expect us to spend about half in bringing in new players, the remainder will be a stabilising fund
Mac Allister confirmed for Liverpool at £35m (rising to £55). I actually think Brighton would be a good home for Lavia, and they could afford him when they sell Caiciedo too.
I think last summer the consensus was that around £50m was about right. I would think with one year less on the contract, the fact that he has just had a poorer season, we got relegated and he's been away from the England setup for a while will mean his price will come down a bit.
In the last 24 hours, Newcastle have been linked with; JWP Lavia KWP Tino ABK Alcaraz It's clickbait silly season.
