Transfer Rumour Gabriel (Lille)

Not open for further replies.
Sasha Ryasantzev confirmed that board asked Brands to pause in February on this and a couple of other things saying, not unreasonably, that they needed time to evaluate the impact of Covid on our finances. The loss of ticket and in-stadium revenue and the refund to broadcasters looks set to cost us c. £30-40m across last season and the forthcoming one. This comes straight off the transfer fee and wage budget because we have not done an Arsenal and shafted the staff. Fume all you like but money is tight and it is absolutely bloody essential that Brands channels his inner Moyes and remains the tightest of tight arses, no matter how much pressure Ancelotti puts on. if Carlo really wants James he needs to convince Real to give him a free & the lad to accept £!00k max per week not £200k or £140k. Brands did not create the wage mess we are in but he has to be allowed to fix it or we will be in this pain every summer.

Yet we had two other centre backs (if you'd call Keane a centre back lol ) we could have sold for equal or more than the Gabriel fee.

Would be interesting to see what happens behind the scenes in Brands 'office' to learn what offers / approaches have been made for our own players and also how hes sanctioning large fees for unsuitable players whilst passing on ideal (on paper) first choice players.

Looks like a mess from the outside.
