The big clearout!

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Still cannot see sergio going Real, he has said numerous times he has fond memories of Aletico, but then if he isn't given a choice who knows, but holding mid and defence should be a priority not the forward line, keep that as is.
Reports today of a swap between mangala and Gaya . now pepe has been linked which I hope is bollocks, otter kola, clichy and sagna can go, (Still cannot entertain Zab leaving until it happens)

Who will buy nasri, hart and the fullback though, expect all loans again.

Gone doggin will be like a new signing again and surely some of the kids will break through.

Pep has mentioned buying british and as reported recently will we go for Keane, Rose, Alli, etc?

Didn't Pep say in his interview with Chris Bailey that he likes English players but they are so expensive? I take that to mean most of our business will be done on the Continent, and rightly so. I'm also a little worried about Gundogan, he's had so many bad injury's that it's bound to take it's toll.

Trying to post from ps4, nightmare.

Nasri's clause is £21m, Mangala's is £16m, Hart will be £15-20m, Denayer at least £10m - so that's £60-70m alone. Not sure why people seem to be so desperate to put down the size of the fees we might get.

Who the feck would buy them, all well qouting what they could possibly go for lad.

If there's a club with a worse record of recouping money on expensive purchases I'd like to see proof of their existence.

There seems to be a strong inverse relationship between how keen a club is to offload a player and how much money they get for him. The fees that we receive for Hart, Managala, & Co will be drastically reduced simply because they have no future at the club.

That's why we have to put the onus on the player wanting to move and let them take the financial hit for it to happen.

Joe, Mangala and Nasri are all good enough for our side but won't be first team players under Pep. Whilst they are on high wages, they could still be useful assets for us.

It will be a big 'BUY' window i don't see it being a big 'SELL'. We will buy at least 6/7 players, i think Fabinho will be the first player in but he will cost around 40 alone. We should already be starting the negotiations and getting the deals done asap, I personally feel apart from the those out of contract, won't be sold or rather can't be sold. They will be loaned again, nobody is willing to pay us money knowing they can perhaps milk us out and get the player on loan. THAT is something gotta change.

I want the following players, few seem very unlike though
Fabinho (can play Midfield and Right Back excellent in both position)
Kimmich (can play multiple positions and was one of Pep's fav players during his Bayern days)
Coman (Young winger and perfect replacement for Nolito)
Pickford (Home Grown and had a very good season, already knows the PL)
Lucas Ocampos
Mendy
Ben Gibson

Thats exactly the point. The cost seems to go up the more a club appears to not want the player to go re Wolfsburg and the De B. saga.
We advertise their redundancy making our perceived valuation go south rather than north.

They need putting on the market at competitive levels to get rid-the last thing we need is them coming back into training leaving a bad taste around the place-I see Nasri remaining in Spain or going back to France somewhere-ditto Mangala, Bony, well, it could be a toss up between Stalybridge Celtic or Doncaster Rovers.

Joe wont be a problem to move on or Delph if we let him go.

I think we'll move them on no problem.

I look at the way Southampton and even Arsenal have provided good players to apparent rivals and I am hoping our academy will shortly provide the quality we need, if not then surely some are approaching a selling on valuation despite their lack of PL experience / opportunity.
