    Too much in wages for squad players and they’ve already proved that they are not good enough for the premier league, it’s why we are where we are. Rather get shot for a small fee and keep them off the wage bill and give this lot a chance IF we make it.

    Would still make them show up for the first day of training though.

    If we play hardball we might get half decent fees for them.

    Guess because of FFP we'd need to get roughly 50% of what we paid for them, that's assuming they are half way through a four year contract.

    Llorente is different as he signed an extension.

    There are mitigating circumstances to that one.

    Is “mitigating circumstances” his alias?

    Yep he refused to play so he could get his move away without getting injured.

    Totally different <ok>

    Whereas Sinisterra and Gnonto refused to play because they are tw*ts who didn't want to get injured.

    Do you mean anything is better than Firpo per chance?

    Just watching West Ham v Brentford and it's hard to see any reason why we couldn't be competitive at their level.

    That's not hardball!!!

    Fine them for every indiscretion when (if) they come back. 2 weeks wages fine for everything from late-coming to dripping your spaghetti hoops down your shirt at lunch. Several times a day to start with, & continue until they get the message, & go whereever we tell them to go, transfer-wise.

    Add the Bielsa philosophy, get the twats picking litter, plus in for training 2 weeks earlier than everyone else and feed the homeless on a Saturday night from their own pockets

    I’m not his greatest fan but he can’t do anything good in your eyes despite being part of a team that won eight on the trot (I’ve left out Leicester as he was subbed off), let in very few goals and has assisted for a few.

    £80m ??? We're getting £20m for Sinisterra, probably the same for Harrison, then approx Wober £10m, Roca£7m, Llorente £8m, Kristensen £5m the fringe players combined £5m, plus a bag of suck for Firpo. Plus we're £100m better off in the PL. Saving on the rats wages covers the newbies. What's not to like
