JJ and Luiz is 150 on their own, and yes we will sell players, it remains to be seen if we are selling any top players, I seriously doubt it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeky swop deal Moreno / Digne plus €£$ for Balde sounds like a good deal for us - maybe not them … I thought he was the only one of the 3 that made sense too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsey 35m and Luiz 75m is about where I see it given the new profit and sustainability rules. Clubs just don't have te money to spend on big transfers atm and fees will be slightly lower than you may think but let's see. We will certainly be selling players. Whether or not they are top players is debatable but I can definitely see Luiz going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BG_Villa_Fan Posted May 19 Popular Post Share Posted May 19 It seems that all negativity from the champions league qualification thread has moved in the transfer one. It’s the best position this club has been in more than 40 years and people still can’t help themselves. Apparently we’re selling everyone because Emery said they should be smart duhh. FFS lads get a grip. 14 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcifer Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Had to laugh at the Sun Headline that popped up on my newsfeed! Thing they have been reading this thread "Villa have to sell, biggest losses in Europe and there won't be many coming in blah blah... " Yes we are probably going need to sell but it's not THAT bad. We have already seen our squad is small and we need additional players in key positions, its a guarantee we will have injuries and suspensions next season so we can't just sell everyone, as much as the media want us to fall on our backside. Let's just trust Unai. He got us into the CL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 9 hours ago, wishywashy said: Trevoh Chalobah is another possible deal from Chelsea that could make sense. Can play CB or RB afaik and he's been very good since he's come in for them. Would be quite an ideal replacement if say Carlos is sold. Not a bad shout at all, good player and has couple of seasons of CL experience. Good for the RB/RCB. He's also had plenty of games as CDM so he could operate in the CM who drops into RCB in posession (like Kamara has done often). What I like about him is how good he is in posession, very high and consistent passing stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 That Sun article is hilarious. We aren't signing Grealish, let alone for £50m which is conveniently the fee we would sell JJ for. Arsenal still interested in Dougie so we'd sell him too. Hilarious stuff. They never wrote this about Newcastle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Might be something in the Chelsea rumours. They must need to sell having already spent £50m on a 16 year old. Surely the PL will see through their dodgy deals at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the PL will see through their dodgy deals at some point. If we sell each other players, is it dodgy? even being open about the sales are for FFP reasons, is it still dodgy? The only dodgy part would be how much money each club would get. But if the prices aren’t inflated, then it’s fine, right? but saying this, how much is Duran worth?!? His potential is wildly unpredictable. He could be a Bertie Traore, his whole career or world class. So £40m to £100m could arguably be the range It all feels dodgy and it is, but what rules would actually be broken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, you're pointing to a Jan 2024 article. I'm under no illusion about FFP. I was asking about the summer of 2023. They spent a lot of time hyping them up, talk of £450m spending sprees. I never said there was a conspiracy, but there's a hierarchy of bias when it comes to teams in the league. Do you think they are going to publish stuff like this about us? "HARRY KANE and Neymar are among the star-studded list of Newcastle's transfer targets, according to reports. The Magpies are back in the Champions League for the first time in 20 years and can now look forward to an exciting summer of transfer recruitment."

MotoMkali Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I think it's worth pointing out that I think even last season people were saying we didn't have much money. And that we had zero money to spend in January too. I would be shocked, shocked if we were unable to spend roughly 100 million again this year. As we have done for every season we have been promoted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously that was before their accounts were published and we all thought Saudi were going to turn them into the new Man City. Now accounts have come out for both clubs in relation to FFP and the media is responding to that news instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
