Oh Boo Hoo. Did you get the nasty informed consensus on here counter your DCL claims? Nobody ever said strikers don't need to score goals.
Tammy Abraham linked...i know @Nymzee mentioned him the other day.
If we are looking at 9 players to come in then I think thats the whole squad covered with any signings in the coming seasons being minimal.
not really sold on Abraham, He did naff all for Swansea, Was it because Swansea were utter garbage? Possibly but he's a young lad who's banging them in the Championship so I guess the links and speculation is fair, Signed a 5 year deal in 2017..

True. They were bought as prospect. Jags was playing in the PL with Sheff Utd.
I was not saying players would not turn out to be good from lower leagues.
What I was saying is that it is very unlikely a Championship club first teamer would be bought and becoming a starter instantly next season for a top 6 side.
Even all the examples you have mentioned in this thread were bought as prospect or investment eg Ali.
Marcel doesn’t deal in rumoursCan we have some rumours about 10 players being sold please?
Not sure it means there will be 9 incomings .
More like the "targets" identified have been sounded out .Could be 2/3 for the same postions.
Cant see any more than 4 or 5 first teamers meself like.
Zat we are not selling 2 of our best playersHypothetically if we have are selling players at their peak value then both Gana and Sigurdsson should be sold which could bring us in £60mil and £200k a week wages.
Then we build a 433 system using the other players and additions.
It appears as though if Brands is saying we wont be spending big money on players over 26 then we theoretically will be spending big on those under 26.
With Brands saying we already have our targets im surprised that theres nothing in the media (bar Neres)...
No, the coaches expenses are listed as a single line item in there by themselves. Singular write-off I believe.
I think it has to be transfer liabilities, or at least a big chunk of it is. It's not the financial stuff, that's clear where that is.
It'll be interesting to see how the FY19 books look like. But yeah, it's obvious Farhad financed a lot of the transfers.
But honestly, who are we going to sell that we'd take a bath on, really? Bolasie, maybe? But his book value isn't that high.
Walcott? Bought for 20M, 2 years left on a 4 year deal, $10M book value.
Cenk? Bought for 22.5M, 3 years left on a 5 year deal, $13.5M book value.
Niasse? Bought for 13.5M, 1 year left on a 4.5 year deal, $3M book value.
Schneiderlin? Bought for 24M, 2 years left on a 4.5 year deal, $10.7M book value.
McCarthy and Mirallas signed extensions off their initial deals, their book values have to be almost nothing.
Bolaise? Bought for 29M, 2 years left on a 5 year deal, $11.6M book value.
Sandro Ramirez? Bought for $5M, 2 years left on a 4 year deal, $2.5M book value.
Even if we break even above, the salaries for those guys above + Baines, Williams, Martina, etc. are like a combined 800K a week, over 40M a year. That's MASSIVE.
As a wise old @Eggs once said , and this applies to LookmanHe was far and away the most exciting player on show at the U20 world cup, and apart from Brazil every other top footballing nation took part. He also showed what he can do in Germany last season.
He certainly has quality, but that means nothing if he doesn't have the application. We'll see what develops in the summer.
Dont read it that way meself Zat.Read back a few pages...23 out and 9 in apparently
