Those 3 will be on about 450k a week combined though. What was Coutinho on? 200k?

Anyway we have to shift some high earners. Sturridge and Mignolet spring to mind.

450k/week or three quarters of a Sanchez <yikes>
 
Do we have any more money to spend?
Personally I doubt it, really need to ship out a few first.

Maths says:

2017/18. we took in net 28mil post coutinho. some of that however is prob add ons so lets be cautious and say 0 net spend.
2016/17 we took in 6.5mil
2015/16 we spent 28mil net.

so... by any stretch... there SHOULD be 60-70mil form last two years available plus another 30mil odd to spend.

SO thus far

Fabinho was 40mil
keita will be 52mil
Fekir will be 48mil initally

call that 140mil and we might have had 100mil... so.... you might say ok we have spent the cl money already.


Now assumptions:

1. 30mil annual transfer budget. could be more could be less available. we just don't know form the history give what has happened

2. add ons for coutinho. when those are paid.

3. other deals.


My gut feel would be once we get these 3 done we will be into selling off the ****e and scraping up a fee.

I still think it will be a forward next not a GK.

I very much doubt Matth said that tbh mate.
 
Rumours saying the main sticking point was wages...

He's apparently getting 175k a week.

Fabinho must be happy on a measly 85k.

Imagine having to get by on that. Shame for Fab really.

175k when he joins us? Or 175k at Lyon atm? I chant imagine he’s getting that at Lyon and I can’t inagine we’ll give him that, make him one of highest earners ahead of Salah, Firm, Mane.
