I hope the same, but I can't see us spending out on real quality unless some big sales happen.

Yes obviously Digne will have to go first. But 10mil over length of contract is small fry. Gladbach obviously have a dilemma. He may have already agreed a pre contract. But if he hasn’t would they take 10mil or lose him for nothing. There’s talk of Arsenal so will be a tough one to get.
Aye, it was sorted around two weeks ago. A few snippets that he's been training individually as well to get up to fitness.
I think with his knees and our luck with injuries he'd be another gbamin lol
Not sure whos be after him this window tbh. Like I said that knee injury has probably dented any of the big clubs coming in for him for money this transfer window so maybe we could sneak in? But then do we want to?

Has now lol
Doesn’t really sound like him either. He offers the same as Allan really.
Hopefully he’s talking about a number 10.
Nope.
The "reset" will involve selling non-key players with a decent market value (think Digne and Mina) in order to raise some funds and to ease the excessive payroll issues. Add to that the likes of Delph, Tosun and Sigurdsson reaching the end of their contracts and leaving, this sees the payroll reduced again.
The aim is to get the outgoings under control and to sign younger replacements on lower wages. The purpose of this is to create a healthier financial model so that we DON'T have to sell the family silver (DCL, Gray and Richarlison).
Think of it this way: if a club knows we are strapped for cash they can put in a lowball offer for DCL... If we are financially healthy then any offer has to be bigger.
And a final point: our financial model cannot continue to be to make multi-million pound losses every year. Once the club starts to break even, that momentum and direction of travel has to be maintained and become the new normal.
Agree with C all that, but one of Richarlison or DCL will be sold. I think Richarlison will want to move on to be honest the time will will be right to take the profit.
Good teams don't play with a no 10. That position doesn't have a place in the Premier league these days. You need fast forwards who can carry the ball at their feet and interchange across the front line.
Mods can we have some sort of sanction for any poster suggesting Jesse Lingard is anything other than a lazy waster who's had ten decent games in a decade?
Only just seen this. Very good.

Right back please
If we sell DCL or Richarlison, it needs to take place on our terms. It's the only way to get decent fees for them. We need time to create the financial health in the club to sell them on our terms. We shouldn't be selling either DCL or Richarlison for at least another 18 months (given their ages) and we need to ensure they each have at least 2 years on their contracts when the bids come in.
For that to set of circumstances to come about we need to trim the wage bill, generate some transfer fees by selling non-key players with value and replace SOME outgoing players with younger newcomers on lower wages. In other words, improve the financial health of the club.
As an example, I'd sell Digne now if someone came in with a bid of £25m plus. This brings in the money to fund Mykolenko and the rumoured fee for the Rangers RB, making a net spend of around zero whilst providing cover in two positions where we're short of personnel AND buying time in the form of younger players (desirable at the moment, given our parsimonious circumstances). The wage bill might be lowered slightly (two players on maybe £50k each p/w instead of one on £115k p/w. In accountancy terms this reduces our ongoing outgoings, AND adds cash to the balance sheet.
I suspect the sale of Digne is further advanced than we are being told.
In the summer we'll see further substantial reductions to the payroll: Delph, Sigurdsson and Tosun all out if contract (JJK as well, I think?) so that also reduces our ongoing outgoings in the form of a reduced payroll. If a couple of sales can be made too (Mina, Gomes and Gbamin would be my preferred departures, due to ages, wages and injury records) then suddenly there's further improvement to the payroll, the balance sheet and we should be breaking even - maybe even running at a small profit.
Yes we'll need new incomings. But how many new players need to come in to match the current on-field contributions of Delph, Gbamin, Gomes, Mina, Sigurdsson and Tosun? I'd say two CMs, a CB and a attacker, if they all played 30 games per season, would exceed the combined efforts of the six highly-paid names I've listed. The new CMs are the key: they need to be young enough to be on manageable wages but good enough to surpass Allan in a year, and Doucouré in two years. Why? So they can take the starting spots at the right time so that Allan and Doucouré can be sold whilst still of some value.
If that all gets done then there is STILL the possibility of selling Keane, Davies and Holgate. Keane's at his peak now, and will be for maybe another 12 to 18 months. After that he loses value rapidly. Davies and Holgate are underwhelming contributors.

Richarlison is gone in the summer imo. He was trying to leave in summer 2020 and ancelotti had to convince him to stay. I'd imagine he is going to be mbappes replacement at psg.
I also imagine that DCL will be gone in a year or two. Uniteds rolanldo replacement would be my bet.
All pure conjecture on my part obviously but its what I can see happening.
I think moshiri is going to try to build a young squad, with sellable assets and put the club in a very good position financially with regards to FFP then sell us when the stadium is built.
