The Squad planning thread

What income can we expect from sales this summer?

At the moment:

- Perrone: 25 Mio pounds (Como)
- Couto: 21 Mio pounds (Dortmund)
- Wright: 2,3 Mio pounds (Norwich)

I’d say McAtee probably like 20-25M.
Doyle maybe 10-15M.
Ederson like 20M maybe
Nunes???
Don’t know about others. The others will most likely get loaned out ( Grealish) or leave for free.
 
Maybe some other guys fron the youth? Like the last summers Delap. Hamilton, Forbs, Charles, etc.

In addition from likely departures

Walker = 0, lose money on book value
Stones = 2-5 break even with some luck
Kovacic= 20, sale to KSA, 8M book value profit
Nunes = loan (2), little chance of sale unless we get lucky
Bernardo = 15, sale cheap for loyalty, 12M book value profit
Grealish = 33-35, break even book value if we're lucky
Phillips = 20, break even book value if we're lucky
KDB = 0, Free
Delap+Trafford = 8-10, sell on clauses
Ederson = 20, sale to KSA, circa 19 book value profit
McAtee = 25, all book value profit
Perrone = 25, circa 21 book value profit
Couto = 21, not sure above book value profit, say 15M
wright = 2, all book value profit
Kabore = 4 ish, hopefully break even book value
Others (Kayke, other kids) = 5 ish, hopefully break even

Total sales 230-240

Cash after amortisation circa 35M circa 110-120M

Lots of business to be done, no wonder we need 2 DOFs this summer to manage all of the above (if it happens)

For a new goalkeeper an opportunity might have just come up for City which i dont think wed expect but, Espanyol need to make money by the end of June. So Joan Garcia could leave for less than his release clause which is 25 million.

He looks good to be fair but i think Costa is already done for us.

List B = Born AFTER 2004

A player may be registered on List B if he is born on or after 1 January 2004 and has, since his 15th birthday, been eligible to play for the club concerned for any uninterrupted period of two years, or a total of three consecutive years with a maximum of one loan period to a club from the same association for a period

Not sure we have a loss in the books for a walker. He’s been here long enough for his transfer to be written off some time ago.

Crazy how many we have to move on, guess we have to move someone like Kova on if MGW comes in can't be anyone off the Local list

Has been linked with arsenal a lot as their number 2

I wouldn't actually be surprised if we sanctioned the sale of one of the top academy talents that we'll all be fuming about after. Seems the lure of pure profit is too high

We may sell one or more of our top academy talents. But, IMO, the motive for such sales is forced upon us - we must act within a strict budget to comply with FFP rules from the P/L and the C/L. It's not the lure of profit for our owners - they are independently rich - it's the drive for excellence.
 
I asked chatgpt for the best homegrown players.
It gave me a list of 10.
Kalvin Phillips was on it.

Interesting to see what is planned for Simpson-Pusey.
Recently won the Premier League 2 Player Of The Season Award.
1st ever time a defender has won it.

I asked ChatGPT to give a list of our players and tell me which ones were homegrown. It missed a few players, included Alvarez and Laporte, and didn't mention the difference between the PL rules and UEFA rules.
