That's just never going to happen, we would be crucified in the press and with good reason. Football is no longer as important as it once was, spending on that scale has been and gone.Not really mate, best case scenario for leavers,
Bravo £0
Nico £7m-£15m
Cancelo maybe a swap deal or £30m
ish
Walker £30m or will the club not punish him
D.silva £0
Sane hopefully £80m+
Also ?s over stones, mendy, zinch.
A fair few loanees we could sell like Robert's, etc
At a guess £150m ish
So we at least need
1 x gk maybe steffan if not injured to bad
1 x rb hopefully couto is decent and a semedo swap.
1 x cb £50m-£100m
1 x cdm unless ferna goes back up to rodri £50m
1 x lw/rw £50m upwards
You could argue 1 x am coz gundogan isnt great in that position. £50m
Maybe £200m-£300m
Then next season we have at least ferna, kun, gundogan.
Can the owners afford it? Absolutely, but why throw so much money at a game which will no longer generate the revenue streams it once did (e.g. TV money, match day, sponsorship deals will all drop off because of the way the game is portrayed by people outside of football). The government trying to make players and clubs scapegoats, demanding they take pay cuts and vilifying the game because of the money involved will drive away potential income streams because they won't want to be associated with it for a long time.
