Sanchez is a very good keeper and will end up in a CL side. Hopefully us.

Would touch him. Even though at 25 he is still relatively young for a goalie, I don’t think he will develop to be an exceptional one. Bazunu is the goalie I am intrigued about in the PL. Outside the PL, Genk have an amazing young goalie in Vandevoordt, and Diogo Costa is an interesting option though he had a sh*t World Cup. Both players have very good underlying metrics for a goalie.

Potter and his team did a fantastic job for Brighton. Cucurella, Trossard, Bissouma, Ben White, Caicedo, Mac Allister all gone to or wanted by top teams.

Time will tell. Reminds me of when Liverpool signed 7-8 Southampton players a while back, only Van Dijk & Mane turned out to be top notch of that batch.

Sadly enough Vandevoordt already signed a contract with Leipzig last season, but they agreed to keep him 2 more years at Genk. 

However there are conversations going to call him already in this Summer.
 

He is having a grear season. Will play his 100st game for Genk this weekend at the age of 20.

Another Goalie Gem from the academy after Courtois and Casteels.

 
The outrage on social media regarding Chelsea's transfers is hilarious hahahah. But sit back and enjoy because Chelsea will have to sell players, too. Watch all these fools lose their minds when we will sell Lukaku, Havertz, Mount/Gallagher, Pulisic, Aubameyang, Ziyech, Jorginho, RLC/CHO for 350M+ and balance the books haha.

Aside from Mount, they can all go for me.

Though, I can't imagine we'll be getting fair market value sadly. Buying teams will know how desperate we are to sell.

I saw a graphic regarding the PL spending versus all other top European league. Seven times the amount spent by the PL.

Plus, the transfer fee is only part of the story. Our wages will outstrip most other clubs.

Who is buying any of our players

All depends on two things for me. How aggressive our ownership/board are in the selling of these players and how content these players are in wanting to leave to better their career. We saw with Werner that he was willing to take a wage cut just to have a better and more comfortable career. 

Gallagher - 50kpw (£35-40m)

Mendy - 55kpw (£15-20m)

Ziyech - 100kpw (£20-35m)

RLC - 120kpw (not a chance he leaves)

CHO - 130kpw (£15-20m)

Pulisic - 150kpw. (£35-40m)

Havertz - 150kpw (£30-50m)

Aubameyang - 160kpw (Likely won't get anything)

£150m-£200m we could fetch. Considering the debt was cleared when these players were purchased, 100% would be considered cash on hand. 

 
Think you're being a bit optimistic there for some of them. These are players we want to get rid of, not players other teams are desperate to buy. The values won't be that high.

This is the point. The last sentence you have put. If the sale of the club resulted in Roman wiping out the club debt then surely all of the purchesed players became assets with the annual salaries being the only liabilities that we hold. Therefore presumably, even if we sold at fire sale prices these sales should still go down as pure profit in TB's books wouldn't they. Regardless of what the club paid for Malang Sarr for example, wasn't that written out of the books as part of the sale and therefore if we only sell him for £2m, isn't that pure profit now.

So my point being at a larger scale, if we sold Lukaku for £60m the press would howl derisively at the club for losing 30 odd million in a year or two on the player but as far as Todd's Chelsea is concerned, hasn't he just made £60m pure profit?

Made even funnier by the same f**kwits who told us our new owner wouldnt spend any money...

 
Anyone know anything about this Lyon right back Malo Gusto we’re getting linked with?

 
Might Potter turn to his old club and nab Evan Ferguson before the Jan window closes? We need a striker, and this lad looks like he could be the real deal...

 
DarkMata said:
The rumours are saying €30-35m.  Lyon don’t want to sell in January so there’s obviously winter window tax on top.

If we have money left we should be aiming for a midfielder and giving Jmes regular time off to be ready for the CL.

 
Why don't we try to sign Elyes Skhiri from Koln as a DM? 

Cheap, class with the ball and tall. 

He's the best DM in German League imo. 

 
I trust Vivell and Winstanley to come up with the goods. Mudryk, Felix and Badiashile have all been good debutants with huge potential on their side. 

 
Some rumours that we might be open to a deal with Barcelona with Ziyech going there and Kessie coming to us. If Ziyech leaves I would rather he went outside Premier League, and Kessie would provide us with more physical presence in midfield. Thoughts?
