Why did we ever let this man go? He still has fuel in the tank.

(🌕) Jules Kounde is Barcelona’s next top target. @FabrizioRomano #Transfers 🇫🇷☎️

we spend a lot of time with ake when not with kounde

abysmal 😕 

[Artandur 938]

Still not convinced by Kounde. Just get proper RWB cover and give Colwill the minutes

You guys clearly haven't been watching Sane recently. There is a reason he is being shipped around. He has been utterly abysmal recently, to the point that he became a joke over here. I hope we stay way clear of him, would be huge money down the drain yet again.

With you on Sane. He's physically gifted but his footballing IQ has never improved. He'll have those wow moments with his speed and left foot but disappears far too often. 

Bayern have the right thinking preferring to keep Gnarby over him.

Interestingly our squad wages are not bad. But Mason and Reece need improved deals asap.

I'm pretty sure some of the wages listed on there are somewhat underestimated.

Best starting point would be to look at the 20/21 season which is the season covered by the club's latest confirmed financial statement. Capology lists that season's total player wages, also including some of the loan army, at £148M for the year while the club's official financial statement says wages were an expense of £332M for the 20/21 financial year. Sure the latter figure also includes all non-playing staff as well as academy players but surely the first team squad's wage bill is more than 44% of overall wage expenses?

But yeah, no matter how accurate they are it's still obvious Mount, James and even Mendy seriously stand out because of how low their salaries are. It's not exactly right that three of the first names on the team sheet are earning the least wages in all of the first team squad.

A much cheaper risk than Kounde

Does Bayern really pay any of their players like that? My understanding is that most of their starting 11 are on fairly modest wages in the grand scheme

https://www.capology.com/club/bayern-munich/salaries/

this is what I found not sure how true

that links backs up what I said almost exactly (I said £327K PW, and of course the FOREX rate changes a wee bit daily)

Above I posted the breakdown which has gross pay and net pay after taxes he’s only on like £176k

we talk of gross pay here always, not net like La Liga

he is on, like I said, 327K PW gross

the entire time I have been here the standard delineations (as it should be) for all things fiduciary have been pounds sterling as the currency and then, for salaries, per week gross pay 

the board will completely get into weeds if we start playing mix and match with currencies (especially when the type is not specified, like when a 90m figure is tossed out there, and is not labelled as euros, which is WAS,  so people start to think it is £90m, which is not the case at all)

and then also if we start talking NET pay, as each nation has different tax rates

Unless we are somehow now going for Osimhen (good luck atm with that after the poison dwarf had a meltdown with us buying KK) then not going HARD for Hugo (sounds like a gay porno, lolol) is just fucking dereliction of duty level madness. He has just crazy upside potential.

Well.. Hugos transfer has been confirmed by PSG now.

Just depressing. Could be the next big thing, but he will shine for someone else now.
