Random Rumours

TT or someone must have taken a holiday in Barcelona and left the transfer notebook on the beach.

 
“Barcelona, the only club that has no money but then… buys every player they want”.“I do not know how [they do it]. It‘s kind of weird, kind of crazy”.

Everyone in football knows their situation is bonkers. 

 
We need to sell some players.  Barkley.  Dross Barkley needs to move on.

Michy Batshuayi is still available.  Everton, Besiktas, Southampton and Leeds have enquired, although Leeds have since moved on to other targets and Southampton have a preferred target. The player does not want to return to Turkey.  So that leaves Everton.  Everton may talk again to Chelsea. No decision will be made until he has been looked at in pre-season

.  He is not good enough to play for Chelsea. He needs to move on.

Then you should've sold Lewy to us. I would love to see Barca go broke and every club which has sold players to them to not get any money. Its just crazy that one minute they say Barca have no money and then the next they sell their players to them and expect the fees to be paid.

I agree, although we are also likely to sell a player or 2 to them before the window closes/ I just hope we insist on the full amount up front.

 
Dream scenario: Boehly manages to sell Dave and Alonso to Barcelona, signs Kounde from under their noses, and then loans them Malang Sarr with Barca covering all his wages.

 
Why do we even cooperate with Barcelona at this point?

I agree. It's really strange, we're competing with them and losing in some of them yet we're still in negotiations with them. Can't one of our negotiators just say "If you let us sign player X, we'll lower the transfer fee" or something?

it's also logical to do this. Only letting go of a CB when we get a replacement

I agree, but i think a lot of the issue is the sense of entitlement that some players have nowadays or the similar attitude of their agents. It often amazes me that a player will end up without a club rather than accept a deal on a lower salary.

I think a number of these players are on money islands now, so even if we agree deals and even take cut price offers, after all 10 sh*t players at £5m a pop is still £50m in the bank, they have this sense of enititlement that they are worth £150k a week even though they can't get a game because they have consistently proven that they are not good enough.

 
So are we actually in for that Barcelona midfielder that hates Man Utd?

 
Just have to put up with them being in the reserves and not used. 

Or offer them on free transfers to other clubs. Their wages plus a transfer fee makes selling them to the type of clubs who would want them next to impossible.

Putting this under random rumours, but it does seem reasonably likely there is some truth behind it:

Chelsea are struggling to get rid of £180MILLION-worth of flops from their squad | Daily Mail Online

In previous years we would probably have sent most of these players out on loan but with the new limitations we may have to keep these players with the squad and send out younger players on loan instead.

It's not the players themselves that no one wants its their wages.  I'd make a list up put up a Fire Sale sign and pay up to 50 or 60% of their wages, after all something is better than nothing rather than hang on to players that aren't even going to get a sniff....or buy a team in some far off foreign land or even in the MLS and stick them all out there, win the foreign league and bring in some revenue..how many clubs have the Man City owners bought now?
