€30mil for Gana is about £27mil. Snap their hands off.

We just need to keep Gana. Only Gana and Gomes are decent in CM.

If you play Davies there for the remaining of the season then god help us.

You know we can sign players too right?

You know we can sign players too right?

Of course. But I can’t see us signing that many players in January. 2 max? And we need to move players out too.

By the low bids being rejected is what he means. We still sell, every club does but now we'reonly selling when we get a bid that matches our evaluation of the player.

Remember when we knocked back Chelsea 3 times over stones? Under moyes we probably would of had to accept that. We may of played hardball but we would of caved eventually.

The difference is negligible, we’ve always played hardball and ended up negotiating decent fees on departing players. Stones was inevitably going to leave once the right fee was offered.

If we sold Gana and Schneiderlin will we definitely be bringing in a replacement.

Add McCarthy to the list. So injury prone this is unreal.

You do realise we can actually buy other players, we aren’t stuck with the midfielders we have now forever

Of course but we have to get rid them at the sametime. The wage bill...

 

[Toffeelover]

In what respect has it changed?

We sold Lukaku, Stones and Barkley when the big clubs came knocking.

Yes, we got decent fees for Lukaku and Stones, but historically we’ve always done okay in terms of negotiating fees - the likes of Joleon Lescott and Rooney were big fees in their day.

That was before the current owner and management team.

?

Lukaku, Stones and Barkley were all sold under Moshiri's ownership.

If PSG don't want to break FFP, they can pay us £40m today and £25m next January... or do one.

If Brands could get Ndombele with these funds then we would all need to bow to the new footballing God!

 

[Abraders]

Don't think PSG would make such a large payment for a player of Ganas age?

We've also got less time to bring any replacement in by wasting a few weeks of the window, and if we do sell then any club will demand huge amounts knowing we're desperate

We're not getting Ndombele unless it's 5 years from now after he has reconstructive knee surgery.

Theres a fair chance for him i think, if we had the cash.

The very top sides will be looking at the Dutch two amongst others and we pay very good wages amd he would be a guaranteed starter.
