Players to sell (evergreen "deadwood" thread)

I think the deflated market ironically has played right into the clubs hands.

We don’t get to know the details in terms of payment schedules for transfers but the boost that the CL gave our finances suggests to me that clubs buying from us probably will be able to pay a smaller  % of the total fee up front and the balance loaded to perhaps year two , three , four or whatever. Other clubs selling would want far more up front with balancing payments significantly less after year two etc 

Also the time really is opportune to sell players like Giroud, like Zappacosta like Moses also decisions have been made regarding some of our academy players who will no doubt have decent careers but maybe not at the top table where we hopefully will be seated and with the rules in respect of the number of players you can send out on loan being tightened 

The current that trading year will show a significant profit in player trading terms the academy players have no book value so every £ of their fees counts as profit . Selling the likes of Giroud, Zappacosta  and Moses won’t show massive profits but them moving on will probably help toward the amortisation charge that will have increased by circa £19. 5 million pa following Lukakus transfer so by my reckoning one or two of the other players that we paid a decent fee for like Berkley , Drinkwater or the like will be sold for their amortised value which will help going forward

Strong rumours that RLC will follow Tammy to Roma.

Doubt it but at least RLC can finally have a chance to play elsewhere preferably Serie A.  

His body can't withstand PL football. Good physique but made of glass

If that goes through we will have had well over £100M in Academy Sales ... with about 70% of it related to players who have barely even featured in the first team ... pretty much unprecedented I would say ... and quite incredible given the havoc that covid is playing with the finances of most clubs ...

I think the club have finally wised up and realize that it's better to sell and include buyback clauses for fringe academy players than hoard them in the training pitch or have 60 loanees all over Europe. 

 
Still 6 surplus players to shift as we get down to the transfer window wire ... Drinkwater, Bakayoko, Barkley, Baker, Sarr, and Musonda.

Probably also looking for loans for Sterling, Uwakwe, Anjorin and Ampadu.

That's a lot to get done in a handful of hours .. especially if we are still working on some incoming as well ...

Sterling has gone to Blackpool

 
Surely someone has to sign Barkley before the window closes? Still only 27 - should be at his peak - must be worth a punt for a PL club?

Or is everyone wise now that you only get a couple of decent displays a season and he's not so much Ross The Boss now as Ross The Dead Loss...........................!!

Probably fallen out of too many taxis ... people are wise to some of his non-professional behaviour ... probably what has held him back in his career, and why we are looking to move him on ?

Even Drinkwater has been linked to Reading but as far as Ross goes not a peep.

 
For those who like to know. 
Yesterday in the Game Genk vs Anderlecht Made Ugbo his debut in min 82. The game was up to that point a scoreless 0-0. 4 min in to his debut Ugbo scored the 1-0 that won Genk the game with a killer touch. 💙

He was also the person that won the ball for Genk to get possession and initially that would launch the attack. 

In case you would like to see the goal. min 3:45

Highlights with Debut goal Ugbo

 
Despite being royal ripped off by Inter for Lukaku we are sitting at a decent profit so far and hopefully we have more deals still to go out.

Bakas loan fee, Tino to Lokamotive for 10mill, CHO loan fee, will see.

It's them dodgy hamstrings. Also he's never developed further, still plays like that 18year old that broke through. Flashes of brilliance but needs the right setup

 
Really hope they let Callum go to Germany so that he doesn't just waste on our bench. Let him go tear it up in Germany and realize what a player we truly have.

Indeed. Cannot say I understand TT on this one. Both Reece and Dave are head of him at wingback, as are Alonso and Chilwell. Pulisic might be too, and definitely is as an attacker, as callum is clear sixth choice.

Baka is gone. 2 year loan, small loan fee, full wages covered, buy option which becomes obligation if unnamed conditions met.

Baka to Milan on a two year loan with option to make it permanent at the end, and somehow we will make 20Mill out of this deal?

 
We’re going to have made a tidy profit this summer. Yet we still get lumped in with Utd and city when talk turns to spending!
