In which case it's down to opinion on what counts as 'stupid high'. IMHO, £65M for Adingra would come into the 'stupid high' category, plus for PSR purposes that would represent a clear profit of almost £60M (I know we're not in PSR trouble at the moment, but like every other club that spends money buying players, we have to keep it in mind).
Yes. I'm not getting rid of Adingra just to keep Sarmiento happy.
Yep. THIS!
All of This.
It will be better business next season, when the big 6 are freer from PSR shackles.
I don't think we do.
Who knows. It could take a few weeks for him to find sharpness.
In one sentence you've identified the nub of the matter. I like Sarmiento and hope he stays to compete for a place (which will be on the bench or in the League Cup). But we are potentially competing at a whole different level from one on which a player who rarely started on loan at Ipswich can see himself as a potential starter.
I suspect the front 4 will be expected to be quite fluid in the positions they take up.
I can see MArch going back to his utility role.
spot on. Mitoma and Joao Pedro are two players that will go, in my opinion. We’ll have replacements already by that stage. ( will be hard to replace their quality)
No I didn't think we hand out guide prices but the club have long acknowledge that every player has their price.
As I understand it, the PSR is rolling year on year, over a 3 year period. So although we made an absolute fortune these past two years, the benefit doesnt last , so next year we lose the benifit of players sold 2 seasons ago. Having another 60 million profit this season gives us more buying power in a couple of years time. So you are quite right about having to keep an eye of PSR EVERY season, regardless of previous sales.
