Brands is going to have to get creative with the way we pay for players this summer, and do his best to get players at a reasonable fee and at the right end of the age spectrum. I don’t think it will be hard to replace outgoings, it’ll be the getting rid of them that will be the tricky part!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 We’ve struggled to sell players for years. The ones in their final year of contract might be a bit easier, more likely to take a pay cut and we can afford to take no transfer fee. But anyone with a few years left on their contract is very unlikely unless a bigger club is coming in for them. Don’t see big money being thrown our way for anyone. The Kean situation speaks volumes for the finances in football right now, when even PSG are watching their spending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor loves, it’s going to be tough to get by on only £50k per week. Maybe it’s the time that the wages come back to being just plain fucking ridiculous, rather than absolutely fucking ridiculous.

Bailey Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 I actually prefer the thought of us having to be a bit more controlled over who we sign. I have never liked the idea of just throwing money around on transfer fees and wages. When it is more important to get it right you take more care.

Ghoat Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 It appears to me that about only clubs that are not in a money crunch from the start are EPL squads. That limits where we might be able to sell players, as well as who we would WANT to sell players to. I mean would we be will to sell a Richy or even a Moise to a rival we have to face and battle for table position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make all contracts performance-based: Allow fans to rate the performance of each player after games and ensure player compensation depends on the result.

Kenny, Beni and Branthwaite will be on peanuts but I suspect at least 2 of the others will be given an extension and it won't be on significantly worse terms.

Turns out the rich owner we all wished for brought us nothing different than what we already had. Moshiri will be a winner because of Bramley Moore, sadly he still has a ton of work to do on the pitch to be revered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
