@TheHulk Finally we can see how reliable these jokers are 😂👍

Grace Geyero from PSG? 🙂

Any better guesses?

 

P.S. I don't particularly want Geyoro. Don't think she improves us much, if at all.

Boehly maybe thinks this is FIFA Pro Club or something lol.

Releasing Jorginho and managing somehow to sell Pulisic and Ziyech for fees that at minimum match their remaining book values would free up much more than £20-25M a year in FFP costs.

• Jorginho: £10M in amortisation + £6M in salary = £16M a year
• Pulisic: £10M in amortisation + £8M in salary = £18M a year
• Ziyech: £7M in amortisation + £5M in salary = £12M a year

Successfully bin them all and we're looking at a minimum of £45M a year in FFP cost savings.

To do this, we'd need to get at least £25M combined fees for Pulisic and Ziyech to cover their remaining amortisation values and would also need to get their salaries off the wage bill for good so no wage compensations to their new clubs. Probably not going to be easy considering their recent form and clubs knowing we want to get rid of them but also doesn't seem impossible.

That right there is just about enough for three new signings at £50-60M each on six year deals with wages of £100-150K a week. It's funny how in the eyes of FFP calculations selling three players for a total £25M allows for spending £150-180M on their replacements without the FFP total costs changing one bit. That's something most rival fans moaning about the club's transfer activity don't even realize.

And like you said on top of that we have a few decent assets we could look into selling (for example Gallagher) and because there's no previous amortisation costs involved with club-trained players any fees gained from these kind of sales would go straight into the spending cap and would, at least in the short term, lessen the financial impact of having no CL football next season.

Don't think FFP will be a problem but of course all this relies on having some level of success in getting rid of the previous dud signings. If we fail to find new clubs for Auba, Ziyech, Pulisic etc. there is potential for some trouble there, at least as far as making any new signings in the summer goes. 

We need to get £17m don't we to cover Pulisic and Ziyech amortisation? Or are you viewing it as if they were to be sold now rather than the summer?

In the summer I don't see why we couldn't at least cover their amortisation.

It is incredible that just the move of those three frees up potentially Nkunku plus two more similar size signings. However if anything it just highlights how poor some of our signings have been because it's less a case of fetching £20-25m for these players, and more that we are getting off the books about £130-140m initial investment of these players.

You have to be kidding me. If we sign Trossard, TB has to buy a club only to sell half of out team to.

This does not excite me because we are now building an unbalanced group for next season. If this happens, this must mean there is no intention to chase Felix in summer.

It's a fake account mate.

I meant in the summer.

Pulisic was signed in January 2019 on a 5,5 year deal for 64M€ so an annual amortisation of 11.6M€ and that's all book value he'll have left in the summer.

Ziyech was signed in summer of 2020 on a 5 year deal for 40M€ so an annual amortisation of 8M€ and in the summer he'll have two years left on his contract so remaining book value of 16M€.

Overall 27.6M€ left for the two of them so roughly £24M. The €/£ conversion rates may have changed a little from when they were signed but that should be in the right ballpark. I'm pretty sure you counted Ziyech to only have one year left but he has two?

But yeah it should be doable to get £25M combined for them. Going by their current Transfermarkt values they're estimated at £33M for Pulisic and £17M for Ziyech. Those are maybe unrealistic but getting at least half value should definitely be within our reach.
