Apparently they've brought in 250 mill in sales. However, you would have thought that was just to offset the 600 mill they already spent last season? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah beaten to it above… Off topic but they’ve sold well over £200 mill of players this summer … seeking mount & Loftus-Cheek is £75mill pure FFP profit. We need to get better at selling players for sure. I can see us cashing in on Digne & A.Ramsey if they meet our terms.

We need to get better at selling players for sure. I can see us cashing in on Digne & A.Ramsey if they meet our terms. When they buy players for £600+ million the previous season and failed to get into CL, they are forced to sell players to avoid problem with FFP. Pochettino want to reduce the squad down to 22-23 players, on their website they still have 40 senior players, so expect them to sell many more if they can. We on the other hand don’t really need to sell. Of course if we can sell some players for more than what they are worth, if would generate extra income, and we could use that to buy even better players. But we are operating inside FFP and our squad is of a reasonable size, so we aren’t force to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he means those clubs buying off Saudi FC A & B. And it's a fair point. They have made legitimate money. They've also cheated and been given £70m for Mendy, Koulibaly and Saint Maximin. In Mendy and Koul's case it's also about £50m saved in wages. Fixed game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O…..K…. Without derailing the thread they sold two players who were available at market rate taking a loss of over £10mill on Koubialy … what’s dodgy about that ? Isn’t Fabinho & Henderson’s move more dodgy or doesn’t that fit your conspiracy ? Is it suspect if we sell Digne and/or Bailey to the Saudi league ?

Looks like Inter only bought him this summer after having him on loan last season (probably one of those loan to buy deals) Seems he really hasn't played many minutes for a 21 year old. Football Manager seems to think he has quite a bit of potential though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well… I’m not exactly invested but there is surely cause for suspicion… Corruption is rife in football anyway… Didn’t think I’d need to explain and be accused of an agenda… Saudi human rights, wealth etc. nor have people defending it… Well… no point discussing it here anyway… No stopping any of it anyway… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Tyler Adams talk again… is he really worth the £25m release clause? Is he good technically and passes the ball well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishywashy Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) I think the Tyler Adams link has been complicated by his hamstring injury. He's been out for 5 months. You have to be some concern/caution due to an injury like that, especially if your game revolves around being an engine/workhorse.
