Hank Scorpio Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Let's start on a negative. Who being sold? Luiz, Martinez, Kamara? Got to comply to FFP...unless your a sky 6 team of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to comply to FFP...unless your a sky 6 team of course. No-one that Emery sees as being important in the next 3-5 years (unless we / they get an insanely big offer from a team that expects to get to the CL final). We've got the advantage of having lots of areas where our current levels of revenue are poor (main shirt sponsors, etc) where we can only improve our revenues. We're in a good position to secure a number of extra home games each season and increased prize funds through Europe - that again would be additional revenues compared to previous seasons. We probably haven't baked those into our budgets either (unlike the Sky 6 teams who will almost certainly have based their budgets on long runs in either the CL or Europa Leagues). All of these suggest that our revenues as a percentage of what they currently are should be increasing for next year - which will not be the case for a lot of other teams around us. I think this means that we'll be less under FFP pressure than others. I also think Emery / Monchi have history in terms of finding value in the transfer market - so I don't think we'll be looking to sell £30m players so we can sign someone for £80m. We've got a relatively young squad (at least in terms of the core of the team) and so we don't need to replace lots of players) and we've got the likes of Ramsey, Buendia, hopefully Mings coming back having missed most / all of the season or in Jacob's case having a very stop / start season to date. So we can probably do excellent business without a huge transfer kitty - again reducing the pressure to sell one player to strengthen two or three positions. Of course I expect a lot of our players to be of interest to several clubs - but I don't think we will feel compelled to sell. I am in an extremely positive and optimistic mood. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2003 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 We need a righ… huh… ok a new backup goalkee… huh. Ok, they changed the narrative! Impossible to think too much now when we might have CL or might miss Europe completely, but my guess is one or two new signings per window from here unless we are replacing big departures.

This conspiratorial idea that Chelsea and Man City are protected is nonsense. With City it's a matter of PL being able to prove the charges or look foolish if they can't.

So they sell backups to Saudi clubs with ease. Which is allowed, by the PL and other bodies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 (edited) Just having a play around with what we "could" do in the summer. I am assuming we might sell one of our key assets for big money as per reports, i have chosen Luiz as an indicator, but tbh it could as easily be another key player, its just for illustration. Selling, releasing or loaning out the list of players in the right would free up 825k ish per week, or roughly 43m per year, plus any transfer fees, allowing us to invest in 4 players (CB/RB/CM/Striker), at least? With the saved salaries p/w, and some good transfer income, we could probably go really big on a couple of signings, as well as get a couple of younger, development type players, going to be an interesting summer i reckon. Just thinking out loud ofc. note: some players arent in exact positions, but you get the point im sure. edit: add Donk to the sell side, so 90k p/w, taking weekly salary savings to 915k, and yearly salary savings to 47.5m........(thats nuts tbh) Edited February 3 by MaVilla 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I personally think Kamara will be off before Luiz. Got a feeling he’d go to PSG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted February 3 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3 Considering we have thrown our champions league place away and finished sixth, I say major overhaul, flog McGin for FFP, Luiz too, and rebuild ala Monchi. However if we qualify for champions league then let's keep capitano fantastique and the exotic Luiz and sign Frimpong and others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Digne, Olsen, maybe Cash very likely to leave. Zaniolo goes back. Archer to be bought back, maybe A Ramsey too. Hopefully Tim I will have shown something in some appearances to be part of the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Crystal Ball... Mings and buendia will be back Sell olsen, release hause, cash in on oreilly with a buy back clause, timbo I don't think qualifies for this pure FFP profit nonsense so he'll stay, chambers goes for about £2m We buy 3 academy players, at least 1 from West Brom and 1 from a V sports club We chase a RB all summer but don't get one We sign someone from salzburg We get big signing in CM, more of an 8 than a 6 but can cover Luiz, he'll be French, bit like diaby someone with a couple of caps and flirts with call ups, it won't be guendouzi whatever his name is, maybe thuram but I think he would be too like Luiz in that he'd more cover dropping deep than pushing forward (?) Last one not a transfer... We have a pre season game in Japan... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Depends on what tournament we're in first of all. If it's Champions League or Europa League. I think we'll sell Dendonker, Sanson, Chambers, KKH, Digne, Cash and Olsen. That will generate some decent income and lower wage bill. We'll bring in a RB ala Frimpong another CDM and a right footed forward/winger. We could possibly buy Philogene if he continues to have a stellar time at Hull.

AshVilla Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 If we finish in CL any chance of a cheeky bid for Zaire-Emery from PSG? It's about time he was reunited with his father after all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
