the summer 2019 war chest from sales minus buys unless we sort out the dregs this summer it is FAR smaller then it could have been due to massive cock-ups, mis-time sales, no sales, and free-walkers it is looking grim to be honest atm, as we REALLY need to liquidate the loan army and clear out the main dregs on the roster all thsi only furthers my hardcore belive that Kante simply MUST be sold, as we already have an almsot £100m loss on the books for last year, and FFP is going to rear its ugly head a missing out of CL will just be devastiong as well no Kante sale AND missing out on CL, AND a failure to sell off most of the dregs and we are FUCKED Buys since summer 2019 Kovavcic £40m Sales the already done deals £90m from Eden (we got £90m up front) £50.5m from Morata £9m from Ola Aina £8m from Tomas Kalas £5m from Kenneth Omeruo £13.5m from Mario Pašalić (Atalanta have already said they buy him on the option price this summer) £8m from David Luiz £8m from Michael Hector £3.5m from Kasey Palmer £4.5m from Juan Familia-Castillo (Ajax has option to buy for 5m euros which they will use) total done or optioned sales revenue £200m minus Kovacic spend leaves £160m net to spend the potential sales £25m from Alonso £25m from Emerson £13m from Zappacosta £30m from Bats £8m from Jake Clarke-Salter £5m from Izzy Brown £10m from Baba Rahman £30m from Bakayoko £4m from Musonda £8m from Moses £5m from Miazga £8m from Drinkwater (if we are lucky) £3m from Nathan £3m from Lucas Piazon £3m from Danilo Pantic £3m from Lewis Baker £30m from Ross Barkley total potential sales revenue £223m in a perfect world, and I can see us get A LOT LESS by next summer, say $140m or so unless we sell AC and/or Zouma too, which looks unlikely and then the big one, Kante which looks even less likely also we are going to get NOTHING in terms of t-fees from Kenedy (unless we renew him he walks on a free) Willian Pedro Giroud Marco van Ginkel (unless we renew him he walks on a free, his injury cost us around 12m quid) total loss from mistimed sales, shit buys, turned down sales: around £105m, flushed straight down the shitter, and that includes only these five, when you add in the others we will cock-up on it will be over £400m when salaries are added in (Drinkwater, Hazard, and Courtois alone add on around £185-200m to that 105m loss, so right there we are already at around £300m) my guess is that the total net spending total monies we will have is around £250-300m MAX. We have a rolling FFP 3 year total, meaning ALL things included, not just transfers club loss of minus £40m as we made £15m in 2017, made £42m in 2018, but lost £97m in 2019 BUT my totals already included the £40m Kovacic buy subtracted, which perfectly covers that £40m, which if I had not included Kova,, I would have now subtracted from our budget I will lastly list the barebones want list and its price CF Dembele £60m LB Chillwell £80m Winger Sancho £130m AMF/winger Ziyech £50m DMF Soumare £50m total £370m meaning those all are so not happening only way it COULD is if we sold basically EVERY single player I listed except AC, Zouma, and Kante and got what I listed as sales value which would yield £383m net spend money but selling them all means we would need to buy ANOTHER LB as well, as both Alonso and Emerson are included in that £383m total. so say we did buy Telles for 33m that leaves a net loss of 20m quid now, as it is impossible to sell every player listed you see why I say Kante HAS to sold if we do not, forget Sancho for sure, and plug in Boga that is the only way the money will work and do forget I did not include ANY GK action at all, no Kepa sale at a huge net loss, and also no buy of his replacement bottom line adding Dembele, Chillwell, Boga, Ziyech and Soumare is probably the best we can hope for, plus a GK who is NOT going to be anywhere near top 5, top 10 class but will at least be better than Kepa will we be a better team than now? yes, definitely but nowhere near title time or CL deep semi-final/final run level IMHO I also would say fuck Soumare, spend the extra 25m, and buy Declan Rice, who I actually think is our eventual CB great hope, I think THAT is where he will be truly WC, the best we have had since Terry, and is also a great DMF as well

Paper Talk: Man Utd slash Pogba price as star makes clear exit plan https://www.teamtalk.com/news/transfer-gossip-paul-pogba-price-slashed-as-star-makes-exit-plan PAUL POGBA MAKES CLEAR HIS INTENTIONS TO QUIT MAN UTD Paul Pogba has told his Manchester United teammates he fully intends to quit Old Trafford at the end of the season. The troubled midfielder has managed just six appearances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side this season due to a persistent ankle injury, with question marks being raised about his commitment to the cause. The World Cup winner tried to engineer a route out of the club last summer when he said he was tempted to take up a fresh challenge elsewhere, and this season’s increased match action has only furthered claims that he will be allowed to move on. And now according to the Manchester Evening News, Pogba is determined to end his time with the Red Devils and has his heart set on a return to Juventus, with Real Madrid also firmly in the running to sign him. Dressing room sources have told the MEN that Pogba’s ‘head is not currently at the club’ and the majority of players believe it is in United’s best interests he moves on. Pogba remains a very popular figure among friends and teammates, who understand his stance. And with the midfielder still recovering from an ankle injury, there is a growing belief that the player may not even play again for the Red Devils, with his agent Mino Raiola also doing his bit to engineer Pogba a route out of the club. United value Pogba at £180million, but with the player currently having just 18 months left on his deal – though United do have an option to extend that by 12 months – and due to his huge inactivity thanks to his ankle issue, it’s believed the club will now accept just £120million for the player, with his value dropping by a third. Pogba has had his cast removed from his ankle, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says it’s unlikely he’ll be considered for their next game at Chelsea on February 17, while he has also been left behind for their warm-weather training camp to Marbella. snip

Chelsea: Lots of fans slam Kepa after damming stat puts bad form into perspective https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/chelsea/chelsea-lots-of-fans-slam-kepa-after-damming-stat-puts-bad-form-into-perspective/ Lots of Chelsea fans have taken aim at Kepa Arrizabalaga after a stat has revealed how poor the Spanish goalkeeper has been for the club this season. Stats from Odds Checker via CFC-Blues show that the 25-year-old shot-stopper has the worst save percentage out of any player in the Premier League this season, with Kepa having a poorer campaign than the likes of Norwich City keeper Tim Krul, Tottenham’s second-choice option Paulo Gazzaniga and Arsenal number one Bernd Leno. Kepa’s form has dived off a cliff this season, with The Mirror reporting that Frank Lampard is leaning towards shipping off the young shot-stopper in the summer transfer window. The former Athletic Bilbao keeper was dropped last weekend in Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Leicester City.
