How much we got to spend next year?


Depends on new rules I suppose but I think we’ll bring in around 40m for Adingra, Isidor and Patto. Possibly a bit more for a few fringe lads like Hjeld. I think we may choose to sell one “ star” so will perhaps have 100m to spend and invest a bit more.
 
Not sure on a figure, but some French journalist close to RLB has been posting that it'll be very much quality over quantity, with 3-4 additions as opposed to volume.

How much would he be worth? If he is worth anything then we need to cash in. We can hopefully spend it on a really good winger that we may or may not be able to get. I value their worth more than their talents.

Isn’t this called in other languages as “asset stripping”?

In football, flog your entire squad, most of which were not even bought a year ago, and it gets called profit making. And people on here have the gaul to actually have ambition! How can you do that if you are selling your entire squad after only a season?

It’s like me selling my Mazda 3. I absolutely love it. It has everything all of my previous cars never had. It is absolutely brilliant. Hasn’t put a foot wrong. It’s perfect in my book. So would I be wise or unwise to sell it now?

Hopefully thats right. We dont need to be adding big numbers to the squad. Keep it tight and get some more first teamers in there.

Chill out man. Nobody has gone anywhere yet.

Theres a possibility one will go, but we're not going to undo all the good work that's been done and flog a load of first team players and remodel the team again after just one season.
 
You can likely make some assumptions when looking at the squad that’s going to be around next season. So a few assumptions below….

———————KEEP———————
GK - Roefs + Ellborg

LB - Reinildo + (New Player)
LCB - Alderete + (New Player)
RCB - Ballard + 09
RB - Mukiele + Hume

LW - Talbi + Angulo + Mundle
CM - Sidiki + Rigg
DCM - Xhaka + (New Player)
CM - Le Fee + Diarra
RW - Traore + (New Player)

CF - Brobbey + Isidor + Mayenda

Homegrown - 3!

…….SELL…..
Patto
Hjelde
Masuaku
Browne
Adingra
Pembele
Ba
Rusyn
Hemir

————-RELEASE————-
Moore
Huggins
Neil
Cirkin

———-LOAN OUT———-
Ta Bi
Seelt
Hjelde
Aleksic
Abdullahi
Ogunsuyi


———-SIGN———-
Gertruida (if he is keen - gives flexibility)
LB
LCB
DCM (Xhaka understudy)
RW

Assuming no outgoings (bold assumption), I suspect we will be looking at a 80-100M spend to cover the 4 positions we are lacking in (average of £20M spend per position) and also for Gertruida (assuming that’s an option still).

With 4 homegrown players released and 3 sold, we will need to either invest in youth (below the age of 21), or in homegrown players.

Looking at homegrown players in Ligue 1 (as an example), alongside the positions we need, then the following players may be options that could also fit within the budget allowing for about £20 mil per position.

1. Charlie Cresswell (CB)
2. Ben Chillwell (LB)
3. Tyler Morton (DCM)

The only reason why you sell players is because they aren’t good enough. I take it then that in your opinion have they not.

Great plan Sherlock. Sell our best players the moment they arrive and start with a totally new squad every season. No wonder we are a laughing stock!

I suggest that because we feel sad and I’m called stupid among other offensive names, yet someone can suggest selling our 3-4 best players and they are right.



Why stay when you aren’t wanted? We love Brobbey yet are quick to cash in on him the moment the chance of a quick buck arises.

They stay and somehow become good players and again we end up in a mid table position, we sell all of our best players but are unable to buy any of our targets we need to replace players like Sadiki, Diarra, Ballard, O’Nien, Alderete, Reinildo and others and we end up going down. In your opinion which is the best option?

Oh right.

Apologies I didn't know you were director of football 😂😂😂

Who's not wanted? Im lost.
Who's cashing in on Brobbey?

Were going down.
Are we??

Hells fire
