NikkiCFC 8,317 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Also it's very ugly what Liverpool did. Clubs don't send offers without indications that player is willing to join. We clearly had green light from Lavia camp. And our offer was just 2m bigger than Liverpool one. On the other hand after our 80m bid rejected for Caicedo they offered 111m and 30% sell on clause. So glad we took both from them now. Norfolkblue1961 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrenshah 186 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) I feel we need to exploit the contract length hack as much as we can this window...below is what i would try to do if poasible and have this 25 man squad Gk - New no1, Sanchez, Bettineli Rb - Reece, Gusto Lb - Colwill, Maatsen Rcb - Silva, Disasi, Fofana Lcb - Colwill, Badiashile Midfield - Enzo, Caicedo, Lavia, Santos, Chukwumeka Wing and Cam - Sterling, Madueke, New Rw, Mudryk, Nkunku, New cam St - Jackson, Broja Sell - 170mn can be recouped Cucurella - 40mn (Newcastle) Chalobah - 30mn (Westham have backed out of Maguire) Gallagher - 40mn (Westham can replace paqueta with him) Ziyech - 10mn (Have a feeling he will go to Ajax) Cho - 10mn (Fulham) Lukaku - 40mn (Juventus or Saudi) Loan - Washington Deivid - Strasbourg Ugochukwu - Strasbourg Cassedei - Leicester Hall - PL loan after new contract Broja - wouldnt mind him going to AC Milan on loan to come back a better player next year Buy - 145mn more to be spent Gk - Diogo Costa - 70mn Rw - Olise - 35mn Cam - Kudus - 40mn (Deal involving Ziyech) Edited August 15, 2023 by shrenshah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jype 6,398 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 2 hours ago, Reddish-Blue said: Think the only reason for that is to help balance the books for FFP...with no-one keen on Cucurella on a permanent transfer. Clubs will be lining up for Maatsen at the 20 million mark. That's short term thinking. If we sell Maatsen for around that price then yeah it's a one-off £20M on the books profit but at the same time we'd still keep Cucurella at £18M/y total costs counting wages and amortisation. For the next five years Cucurella would cost £90M and by selling Maatsen we'd get just £20M of that sum back. On the other hand, say we managed to get rid off Cucurella for a massive loss (maybe £25M fee) then it would obviously amount to a big on the books deficit in the short term but having a much cheaper player in Maatsen would more than save that money back over time. Sign him on a 5 year deal on £80K/wk and his total cost for the next five years would be £20M so around £70M less than Cucurella's total cost. Even if we took a one-off hit on Cucurella's amortisation value the long term benefits would still make it more than profitable. If there's any chance Cucurella could be sold for £20-30M we should sell immediately even if it means a short term loss. His salary could prove problematic for a permanent sale though.

He swallowed being trashed by everyone for a long time, claimed he isn't going anywhere, worked hard, tried to get himself together, acted professional and… bailed out before one had time to blink and now became los blanco in his heart before even setting foot on the pitch. Perhaps reasonable for him, but may indicate we are still not all rosy behind the scenes, as I doubt he feared Sanchez displacing him much… Fulham Broadway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPetrCechx 13,570 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (☀️) BREAKING: Agreement in principle between Crystal Palace and Chelsea for Michael Olise for slightly less than €40m. 🇫🇷🔵 @FabriceHawkins #CFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPetrCechx 13,570 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Chelsea have activated £35m release clause into Michael Olise’s contract — deal advancing to final stages 🚨🔵 Clause has always been there despite denials and all parties will be in touch to finalise the agreement. Olise already said yes to Chelsea, time to fix details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,380 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Kudus a better goal scorer (and someone we probably need more) but Olise's creativity is going to create loads of chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
