I think we had to sell him for less than his peak value due to wanting a sale abroad and needing a sale before June month end. Very few clubs are looking for a 50m+ midfielder. Spain they have to wait until after June for their own rules. I think we got two of their players for a discount to try offset it for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t really be concerned about the reported fees for Doug. That deal seems artificially low all round. They got Doug cheap and we got Iling and Enzo cheap. €70m for Doug and €42m for Iling and Enzo is still a realistic deal, with the same outcome. €28m and two players but the reported fees of 50/22 has benefits. Particularly with future amortisation and more profit when we sell the players. it’s a deal to cook the next 5 books, not just this years books 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but if we were working on that deal for 18 months. We didnt do a very good job of it! Really want Monchi to do well obviously and everyone is excited because we are busy but the proof is always in the pudding. The Luiz deal just feels like a skid mark in the pants for me so its put me a bit on red alert for everything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted June 25 Moderator Share Posted June 25 Well, he might just be a genius, and it could turn out that he's insane, but the one thing we can say about him without any reservation is that he's a busy little soul isn't he! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were planning ahead in that we would sell Luiz this summer and that plan would have formed around 18 months ago. Hence going hard to get Tielemans last summer on a free, a CM midfielder who wants to be the go forward of the 2 who has excellent passing skills. We could then allow Luiz to leave this summer but we had a settled player in the squad ready to slot in to his place. That's the kind of planning.

Tielemans arrived at the club a week before Monchi of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monchi works for Emery after all. The clubs financial situation was known. So in planning for last summer the club knew players had to be sold in the 23/24 season. We had not that many saleable assets that could bring in 40m+ in profit and players like Watkins, Martinez, Konsa etc.. were deemed untouchable. Seems only Luiz and Ramsey were the two possibles. Succession planning means bringing in the replacement a year or so before the player is sold so assume club was set on letting Luiz be the one to go I think Monchi arrived and the sales we've made have been under his watch so he might have brought the ideas on selling Archer with the buy back and the swaps this June.
