TheMelvillan Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 The more we threaten the top 4 the more they will look to buying our players to destabilise more than anything Man city know full well they could get a player as good as Ollie or McGinn outside of the premier league. But why do that when you can get a player and at the same time weaken a rival 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Hopefully coutinho can be sold off to the Arabs for 10 or 15 million Donker 5 to 10 million Traore will leave on a free or we could try and get the Arabs to buy him in Jan for a couple million ? Sansom another 5 million or so Then you are looking at players we wish to upgrade Cash Olsen Bailey ( done well recently ) Then age / value Digne Mings Carlos Them there's still big Tim and maybe another couple younger players who could be sold off who are on loan at the moment. So plenty of players we may be able to shuffle out to reduce wages and increase revenue. It's balancing having enough quality players who will keep us strong if injuries or suspension kick in to strengthening financially in order to get 2 or 3 better players.

Jareth Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Yeah I'm on board the replace Cash train. I think he's great, but we need more than he gives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if we can get the middle east to buy our trash then we can get some money in, if we can't you are looking at what you mentioned for Dendonker and stuck with the rest. Neither centre back will be sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaVilla Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 There’s definitely a release clause in there I’d suspect. Doing the right thing to make sure the club get a good transfer fee but he’ll be off in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishywashy Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) Every player in Spanish football has a release clause, but some are evidently achievable (Nico's old release clause of £42m) while others are there as a formality (Inaki William's release clause is £125m, Lenglet's is £250m!).

It's a question of whether there is a realistic fee to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to be under 25 and playing for Brighton for Todd 'The Disruptor' Boelhy to be interested in buying you for that much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Been speculated the whole time that Nico Williams was always going to sign a new contract with Bilbao so to make sure they would get paid for him instead of him leaving on a free. The same rumors said the new contract would still have a low release clause so that he could leave if a offer came in. Time will tell I guess but it's being reported in Spain that the new release clause is a similar figure to the previous €50m which is really, really low for a young and talented player like him. Ansu Fati for example has a release clause at €1 billion... Still think we are very much interested in signing this guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
