If we do, it is meant to be £100m or around before end of June/start of July.

I don’t see how we can spend £300-350m let alone £200m, quoted in that article a few posts up. We have spent £1bn in the space of 3 transfer windows and only sold maybe £300m worth of players. 

People seem to think Broja, Chalobah and Maatsen are going to fetch top top dollar too. Or even be easy sells. Throw in the Gallagher rumours too.

Maatsens release clause maybe will get triggered but again, £35m, lets see. Regarding the other two, we went from wanting £50-60m for Broja to accepting a £4 or £5m loan fee which will go to virtually nothing if he plays a lot. Whys that? Chalobah also made it clear he doesn’t want to take a big step down from Chelsea after Bayern interest which is why he didn’t go to Forrest. Selling Gallagher would also be insane even for £50m.

People can bury their heads in the sand if they want but there are more than enough things that point more towards us needing to sell than not needing to sell.

we made more money in sells than 300M pounds...

In all honesty, it really doesn’t matter how much it was unless it was ridiculously close to what we spent. Which it wasn’t. Call it £500m if you want - the club aren’t recording huge pre-tax losses for the last 2 years for no reason. 

I am a bit worried that people really are stupid enough to believe that there isn’t any chance of a huge financial problem coming up at the club. The club just announced a pre tax loss of £90 million up to June 2023. And it was over £120m the previous year. To put this in contrast, you are allowed £105m over a 3 year period for PL profit & sustainability rules. Everton barely spent over that, worked with the PL extensively and still got walloped with 10 points before it was changed to 6 after an appeal. What do people think being nearly £100m will be worth?

Thats a big reason why there are persistent rumours of selling home grown players (as they are counted as pure profit on the clubs books) to generate over £100m this summer.

We don’t generate that sort of cash for any players, yet alone homegrown ones, then we are definitely in some sort of trouble. I don’t see how we couldn’t be.

we'll have to sell gallagher, broja and chalobah and try to get close to 80 million for them 
40 gallagher
20 broja
20 chalobah 
Oh and maatsen

Far easier when you have a squad with more 'PL proven' players, even though they were massive flops in their last season with us.

Thomas Tuchel has targeted a return as Chelsea boss when he leaves Bayern Munich in the summer, but the German coach is also interested in Manchester United and Barcelona. (Sky Sports Germany)

Please Please Please, be true, for us I mean.

I prefer tuchel over amorim or de zerbi, but I have some doubts...

Which club is buying Broja for 20 million?    He looks so much worse since his injury.     I just hope he doesn't end up like CHO, all that potential and we ended up getting around 5 million for him.

As if the current owners would bring back the guy they sacked

Why should we sell Lukaku when this club desperately needs a striker?

Because he is toxic, doesn't want to be here and is on big wages

I think we don't have much of a choice. If we want to be mid table again, we will have strikers like Jackson and Sesko leading the line. We won't be able to afford Osimhen or Toney's wages, nor would we even be their first choice.

Least we can do is utilize Lukaku for the time being as he guarantees 15+ goals.

We would be fighting relegation and get even angrier with that dumbfuck. Get shot of him in the summer, I don't even want to remember he wore the shirt.
