I see they have missed out on hipster Kloppesque transfer target Mamoud Dahoud for Gladbach!
Dortmund swooped in with a 10.5m euros bid and its gone through!
Fenway still not willing to invest properly and looks like they are strictly a net spend club, who will they need to sell this summer to fund transfers?
Coutinho? Mane?

Coutinho seems to bet getting praise from Neymar and Rivaldo recently. It's normally how they court players so I imagine he'll be gone. Just signed a contract for value protection

I hope not, if they get £65m+ for a one in five game player, then that's cracking business.

I would agree as he is their prized asset but Neymar talked him up last year and then nothing happened. Plus new manager there might not want him/need him.

if they do another break even summer though it will be funny to see. That always amuses me of a summer, they go out and sign jarg players early on, maybe let a few go, quiet end to the window and then the general consensus is that they have done good business off the back of it. every single year...

It isn't the worst thing in the world to have "break even" summers. Infact is is good business sense.
Ourselves and Spurs have done it very effectively over the years.
And i would say liverpool did it fairly well last year, replacing Mane for Benteke and getting 21 million off bournemouth for Brad Smith and Jordan Ibe

What it will highlight though is FSG are not willing to push the club on if it means spending abit of money.

I look at there centre midfield of Can & Hendo and think why the hell did they not go in for Schneiderlin in January. He would of improved them immensely, but its down to the fact that FSG did not want to invest 23 million into playing staff without getting any sort of money back via selling a player

Last summer was decent if you want to say that for them yes. A lot of the incoming came from squad players though in all fairness so it was a load od deadwood, some they spent real money in the first place on that brought the costs down. Generally when they do it though it can be awful with some of the random names they bring in. At some point you can't spend the same as your incoming without selling players you don't want to sell, which is where you start treading water and not going anywhere. Us selling stones for example was good business in a way, 5 players for 1 and he was always leaving. Except we do it again this summer and we wre weakening the first team (lukaku) so it kinda makes it pointless to sell to buy in that situation if we hyperthetically was doing that. that is what i mean in reagrds to the break even model, eventually you can't break even through normal means.
