If you replace DL with his last year substitute, your first 11 is worse. There’s a reason Douglas Luiz became one of the best midfielders in the League and that reason is Unai Emery 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also means we have to amortise the players coming in so that we can spend next month meaning we will probably have PSR issues again in future summers and have to sell another key player. If only we had that £400m in revenue that Chris Heck talks about now rather than in 5 years time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really shouldn't be finding ourselves in this situation again in future. We have no bargaining position whatsoever it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes. Quite. But that doesn't help us much at this second. At the end of the day we have to make a deal that gets us out of the doo doo but doesn't completely hamstring us next year.

Can’t believe we’ll only have Carlos as our remaining Brazilian… that itself is devastating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_AA_786 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 We're being forced to do this due to PSR (with Juve exploiting that) and we also all trust Unai but it's fair to say many of us would prefer more established names than Iling Jnr & Barrenechia. One positive is that they'll be cheaper in wages than Dougie (needed for UEFA rules) and we've been saying we want the players before they become stars so can't then turn our noses up when we try to do that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thabucks Posted June 19 Popular Post Share Posted June 19 Remember those clamouring we should act in the transfer market more like Brighton - when we do the same people moan … we are adding to the squad first which is paper thin with players who could go on to be stars - I’m gunna sit back and enjoy and see what happens over the coming months before forming an opinion. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 We also have two very experienced scouts in Alberto Benito and Pablo Rodriguez who work closely with Unai and Monchi. Not to mention our analytics teams. I imagine we proposed a bunch of alternatives to Juve, including Soule (which they rejected). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some on here think there should be clubs lining up for him, and we should be swatting away 80m+ bids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more like McKennie is asking for Digne level wages, so we have to switch targets. At the end we are doing this deal for PSR reasons, yes we definitely won't get full value for Luiz but we don't really need it either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced Luiz wouldn't go even without PSR issues. Didn't sign a new contract etc. Reckon both parties best for both parties ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
