Felix has not reached more than 8 goals and 6 assists per season since he left Benfica. Idk if he is the solution. Swagger player with no end product.

Lamps is not a good manager

and we have made a cray amount of shit buys, plus have a lot of dross

these all can go as far as I am concerned

Edouard Mendy  
Kepa Arrizabalaga   
Kalidou Koulibaly  
Trevoh Chalobah 
Marc Cucurella 
César Azpilicueta 
Conor Gallagher 
Ruben Loftus-Cheek
Mason Mount  
Kai Havertz  
Raheem Sterling 
Christian Pulisic  
Hakim Ziyech 
Armando Broja  
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 

—    DF    Wales WAL        Ethan Ampadu (at Spezia until 30 June 2023)
—    DF    Ghana GHA       Baba Rahman (at Reading until 30 June 2023)
—    DF    France FRA        Malang Sarr (at Monaco until 30 June 2023)
—    DF    England ENG     Dujon Sterling (at Stoke City until 30 June 2023)

—    FW    Belgium BEL     Romelu Lukaku (at Inter Milan until 30 June 2023)

 

BTW

Even at shit cutrate prices (massively less than we paid for many, and a free here and there) and taking into account wages and time left on contracts, those players would fetch around £400-450m combined, plus a HUGE amount of salary off our books.

Oh, forgot one for above: 

Juan Castillo (sell for sure)

I also obviously did not list many who I rate, but are problematic for multiple reasons, plus some youth and loan players

Kova (such a conundrum)

Felix (only buy if fair price)

Kante (keep for sure it his salary is a lot lower)

Zakaria (I like him, but depends wjo wr bring in)

Lewis Hall (keep)

Omari Hutchinson (keep)

Harvey Vale (keep)

CHO (deffo lean towards sell)

Maatsen (£35-40m, well bye bye)

Then the youth:

Xavier Simons

Bashir Humphreys

Nathan Baxter

Henry Lawrence

Teddy Sharman-Lowe

Jamie Cumming

Sam McClelland

Max Merrick

Eddie Beach

Charlie Webster 

Dion Rankine

Silko Thomas

Malik Mothersille

Brian Fiabema

Jayden Wareham

Prince Adegoke

Lucas Bergström

Sami Tlemcani

Ethan Wady

Derrick Abu

Josh Brooking

Alfie Gilchrist

Highly technical, super classy footballers like Felix are going to be needed if we’re appointing Luis Enrique or Nagelsmann. I’ll be glad if we keep him. Likewise, Mac Allister would be a totally sensible buy and would be a gargantuan upgrade on Gallagher and would adequately replace Mase if he leaves.

Reading about the financials of the club over the past couple of days I’m just skeptical about whether we can afford what we need this coming summer. A world class striker, a top class midfielder or two, and a top class keeper is another £200m+. We will have to get incredible fees for all these outgoing players if we want to get all we need.

we need to sell a lot and I think that Mount and Gallagher will not be with us next season

I thought Boehly can at least use his connections to get us better commercial deals but looks like he sucks at everything.

Surprised he even wants to stay.

If you want to give something back to the fans go back to Italy in the summer brother.

[shrenshah 186]

Oshimen seems like a pipedream now considering we wont have CL

Should we turn to the 2nd string list...i feel vlahovic can be a good punt along with felix

The only ideal situation for me with buying Felix is if we can do it in a way that moves a player on we don't want anymore. In this instance, I'm particularly thinking Lukaku. If we could do a deal with them which involved Lukaku + £20-25m then this would work. Otherwise, it just doesn't look a feasible deal. There are bigger priorities than him and he doesn't justify splashing a circa £80m transfer fee on him.

yes

we can use the fact that simeone don't want him and try another loan

This is where this new recruitment team really need to make things happen. 

There are players out there that could slot into this team and cost a fraction of those prices. 

Outside of Osimhen, I actually don't think there's a huge array of obvious 'top tier' striking talent out there at a good age. It might well come down to thinking outside the box and finding a less obvious option. It's annoying that Broja got injured when he did. Not necessarily saying he would have been the answer but I think he was primed to be the striking alternative to Havertz in the second half of this season and may have had the chance to show what his long term potential at this level is.

I read the other day we're interested in the Valencia goalkeeper. I don't know much about him but Valencia have a real chance of getting relegated and even if they stay up are in dire straits financially so there may well be a good deal there.

This worries me. What also worries me is the fact that we are still thinking about big money transfers, such as Felix or Osihmen. At this rate, the club is going to get run into the ground under this ownership. There is no sense of direction. They seem to be ready to throw money at anyone who is wanted by rivals or is making the news like Osihmen. He's a great striker, but considering the circumstances, can we really afford thinking about signing him?

It seems that for any problem that this club has, the owners think that money is the solution. It's not, at this point. After our UCL success in 2021, we were able to throw a ton of money at Inter for Lukaku and it was the logical thing do to, even if that project actually failed after all. But under those circumstances, it was fine. Everyone thought that we needed him, considering that Haaland was untouchable for us. Now? No way. We need a Toney-type striker, someone who woudl cost around 30-40m, not 100. We also do not need Felix to stay, not for 80m. 

I feel like too many people do not understand how risky and dangerous our position is at this time. Everybody is watching us and the media has been putting pressure ever since Boehly & Co. started spending. We need to stop spending and start being smart.

Doesn't he have the same profile as Enzo? I don't see the point of bringing him in. Are we trying to build two teams or what?

It would be possible to sign him depending upon how much money we would be able to raise from player sales. 

i.e. if we were able to offload the likes of Pulisic, Ziyech, Gallagher, Mount (if he's not keen on staying), possibly Sterling for good transfer fees....that would probably help balance the books.
