Barnes is a cracking player too. I'm surprised he hasn't been pinched by one of the Sky 6 yet.

We are going to pay the penalty for the window closing after the season starts given we are going to scrambling around right to the deadline, doing medicals at walk in centres in different countries.
Couple of spankings, pressure will be on, anyone half decent coming in will go into a dejected dressing room, players already WhatsApp’ing about the manager getting sacked. Said new players won’t be thrown straight into the starting line up as it’s never good to insert a player into a team performing badly. Then when he does play in our triumphant exit from the cup he will suddenly turn Everton crap (because by then we will already be playing pragmatic football) and we’ll all say we should have for JLingz.
FL looks to have learned quicker than our last 57 managers that these players will have him in the Bein sports studio by Xmas. How he leaves his lovely family at home to try and teach Keane to play football is beyond me.

Their price would be what anyone is willing to pay, if they were for sale. Don't think any of the top clubs need a keeper; maybe Spurs but they seem happy to go with 47 year old Lloris for another season (would they spend over £40m on a GK, I dunno). Arsenal preferred a £40-45m Jesus instead of trying to get DCL, Chelsea same with Sterling, and Newcastle were most interested in that Etikite lad before he went to Paris. Factor in the homegrown premium and I'd say we're probably talking around those numbers.

Yeah the optimistic view is that we're just working on finding the right way to reinvest some of the money between purchases/loans, or waiting for the right players to become available. The pessimistic view is that with the additional scrutiny given to our finances and the PL's handling of COVID loss allowments since the end of the season we have had to earmark that entire profit towards balancing the books. And remember that because we purchased Richarlison for a decently high fee, the profit isn't as great as it sounds initially. But yeah in general I agree that we'll be spending something before the window is shut for the same reason you said.
It sounds like we have the money tbf it’s just that we’re penny pinching to get as many bodies in as possible.
To be in this position after 500m spent is nothing short of diabolical mismanagement from all those involved within the club over the past 6 years.

I don’t know how true it is, but I’ve seen people claim that we are making bids in which we want to delay payment until this time next year. I really hope this is nonsense because no selling club will ever entertain that during the summer transfer window, and it would also indicate a reluctance to spend the money that we have received this transfer window like any other normal football club would do.

Pickford, Tarkowski, Gordon, Gray & Calvert-Lewin are probably the only players with enough quality to start each week.
Mykolenko, Patterson, Godfrey, Doucoure, Iwobi & Allan are good enough backups / have good upside potential, but shouldn’t be starting.
Then you have a whole raft of unsuitable / turd players:
Coleman (too old)
Mina (too injured)
Get in the bin ?:
Holgate
Keane
Nkounkou
Gbamin
Davies
Gomes
Dele
Rondon
Townsend
That’s at least 9 players who need shifting.
And 6 starters needed to complete the first eleven, including a whole midfield and two full backs.
It’s a disgrace that the squad is in such bad shape.
In the meantime, I wouldn’t be adverse to using Welch at CB, Warrington & Price in midfield, then Mills & Dobbin as backup in the forward positions. It can’t be any worse than what we’ve got out there at the moment.

Right that's fine, but I feel like you're in the wrong thread mate.
I'm totally for any protests, anything to try and force change. But ultimately it's the previous actions/mistakes of these charlatans to blame for why we've been unable to bring players in... not because of some current mistakes they are making, if you get me.
Tbh if Gray and Gordon are our starting wide players this season then we're in trouble too. The two of them are simply not creative enough and both try and do the same thing too often.

That's essentially the way we bought Dele. Of course Spurs were desperate to get rid, which made that deal easier to do.

True. We absolutely need reinforcements in those positions too.
It’s shocking how bad yet expensively assembled that squad is.
I’d be phoning around every agent on the planet saying we’ve got these 9 players available for sale.
Get whatever we can for them, buy 3-4 first teamers with the proceeds and fill the rest up with youth until January; reassess then go from there.
