That'll be £70m please....

That'll be £70m

and relegation please.

 

[Dire Wolf]

If we sell Cunha we may as well start checking the Championship for places we'll be playing next season. He's worth more to us as a player right now than £70m in the bank would ever be.

 

[Tony Towner]

Genuinely surprised by the number of people on here that bought into the Wissa rumour.

As I have put elsewhere I genuinely believe we asked Brentford the question on availability and price and their response ended the interest.

Yay, go Bank Balance FC we're going to win the net transfer fee league.

May as well ring City about Haaland then. We weren't ever going to spend £25m on a 28 year old. Ridiculous to consider that we would or that the fee would be less. Fine to do the due diligence, people who thought that would be a deal that we'd do haven't been paying enough attention to the way the club is run.

Unless there’s a big trophy for most profit made in a transfer window then selling Cuhna is just lunacy and signing our own death sentence in the PL.

 

[Johnny75]

We're not selling Cunha ffs

 

[Wilf Wolf]

The only way Cunha goes is if we got players we want in exchange. Extremely unlikely even with the clowns we have in charge.

 

[NicholasG1973]

That'll be £70m please....

To stash with the other £100m, please.

 

[Tony Towner]

We still owe the thick end of £40m on Cunha. Even if his price doesn't increase over the next 2 years, now isn't the time to sell on either a financial or footballing sense

 

[The Bear]

If players are going to leave, and they will, then we have to make sure we get maximum value.

Whether or not it gets reinvested, or wisely even, is another matter entirely.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

We're actually 2nd in the 24/25 net spend table.

Sell Cunha and we'd be smashing it...

 

[big mean bunny]

The plan should be to sell Cunha for a massive amount, however the plan should also be to have someone now is place ready to take an extended role when that happens. And that's the part I don't really trust with the club currently. Selling then looking isn't ideal, look how long it took to get the best out of Cunha and you will see why succession plans work better for established players within a squad.

Raheem Sterling worth asking about (cheeky low bid or loan), or is he:

a) too toxic
b) too past it
c) too out of our price range
d) all of the above.

?

C is the obvious one

A? Well not helpful to have your team release a statement about being dropped around 40 mins before kick off is it

Also, will still feel he can be an elite player so not likely to drop down to us.

If we think £25m for Wissa is too strong for us, wait until you find out what Chelsea would want and then what Raheem would want as well

Definitely d).

 

[Dire Wolf]

He's also not been all that good for 2 seasons IMO.

 

[Jinky]

I don’t think he’d have any interest in turning out for us before you get to the wages issue.
