I’ve been thinking about this and I reckon we need to spend £400mil across the next two transfer windows to get back to having a very competitive squad.

I was talking about the sale the football clubs. Virtually every other Prem club has been resold (in part or whole) since the Sheik arrived.What’s your point ? That we should be making a profit before player sales ? Why ? When others don’t ? Being long term is good but I don’t see why that means we should make a profit before player sales if anything it means the opposite ( capital growth and continued capital expenditure more important)
I think we need to invest heavily in the squad and move some players who are over the hill.
I think that's fairly conservative, we could be looking in bringing in upwards of 8 players for me and I would say 5 of those have to be top class players and the wages to match.I’ve been thinking about this and I reckon we need to spend £400mil across the next two transfer windows to get back to having a very competitive squad.
In saying that our wage bill will be considerably lighter with KDB, Bernardo, Walker, Gundo, Ederson moving on.
It's going to be a very interesting 12 months coming up and I would say this time next year our team will look very, very different.

Disagree on that. I just don't see 5 top class players out there that would warrant top fess and wages.I think that's fairly conservative, we could be looking in bringing in upwards of 8 players for me and I would say 5 of those have to be top class players and the wages to match.

Not sure your serious?Disagree on that. I just don't see 5 top class players out there that would warrant top fess and wages.
There are not 5 players out there that would not improve this team?
Wirtz, Musiala, Robinson, Braithwaite, Zubimendi, Bruno, Frimpong, Delap, etc

Quire a bit of money will be going on renewing player’s contracts that are already here…Rodri and Haaland won’t be cheap.
Your last one did make me chuckle.Not sure your serious?

I am serious, 30m buy back, if he is ok with coming back it's a no brainer, another good season and he would be worth double.Your last one did make me chuckle.
KDB, Gundo, Walker, Bernardo that's probably well north of a million a week saved.Quire a bit of money will be going on renewing player’s contracts that are already here…Rodri and Haaland won’t be cheap.
I am out disputing that fact but what’s your point ? What’s that got to do with the lack of profit before player sales ?I was talking about the sale the football clubs. Virtually every other Prem club has been resold (in part or whole) since the Sheik arrived.
