We simply MUST qualify for the CL next year or we will be facing yet another big revenue loss when the December 2021 report comes out 2 years from now. If we have another net £100m loss reported 2 years from now, we will more than likely be on breach of FFP IF we also spend huge money on the transfer market the next (county this one) 3 windows. Selling Kante (this summer is the last window we are going to get huge money for him, as he turns 30yo next season, right as spring starts) would help A LOT, but the mere suggestion would see me burned like a witch in some parts. I think in his current role, he is simply not worth the money we can get for him, and is not remotely (in his current usage format) the player he can still be. We have reduced him to a bog standard CMF as of now. Something has to give. A 3 man MF (in a 4 3 3 ) of Jorginho, Kante, and Kovacic is just never going to work.and if we go to a 4 2 3 1 then one of those 3 has to be dropped anyway, as none are AMF's in even the slightest, most remote sense, plus, even when Mount is tossed in, we still have fuckall for creativity as well atm.

Never in a million years will clubs agree to this especially with players that will attract bidding wars. Pulisic was the ultimate anomaly.

He is a decent Championship level CB who is in his prime years, homegrown, Londorn born, is tall, pacy, loads of experience internationally (Jamaica) and in other European leagues. I would (and did) rate him around £5m or 6m for a sale, so nice 2 or 3m extra into the kitty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,916 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Speaking of Portuguese Fernandes's, I see Bruno to United is heating up again. Is he actually as good as hyped or are his stats massively inflated in that shit league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His numbers are inflated but even at half of what he did there last year he is a good buy. 15 or so goals a year from your AMF is worth £50m.
