We will not be getting anywhere even close to those valuations mate, fact is we will be lucky if we can just get some of them off the wage bill with no fee changing hands. Some of them are either out of contract this summer or at the very most have only one year left, so it will be just a case of damage limitation with the vast majority of them. It’s the direct consequence of more than a decade of buying absolutely shite players, and then rewarding total wankers like Martial, Lindeloaf, Jones, Bailly, Shaw, Rojo and of course Gashy and others with massive new contracts, thus making it impossible to move them on.
I will be very pleasantly surprised if we can somehow bring in much more than 100 mill this summer, which as we all know is chump change nowadays.

Some may be optimistic true, but take Pellistri as an example: still very young and is doing the business for Granada, and would be a very good choice for a mid-table Spanish team. Given both of the above, think we can get 25m for him… I’d also not mind keeping him, so long as he keeps that show pony c*nt Antony out of the team.

Far more realistic valuations are,
Lindeloaf – 10 to 15m
AwB – 10 to 15m
Pellistri – 10m
Mejbri – 5 to 10m
Eriksen – Free
Forson – Free
VdB – Free
As for the rest, fuck knows but you have to remember just how bad we are at getting decent prices for any of our rejects, especially considering they will all have to take a pay cut unless they go to Saudi.
The overwhelming majority of today’s footballers are far too mercenary leave a club unless they think that the numbers stack up financially. You only have to look at Slabhead refusing to go to West Ham because we wouldn’t give him enough of a “golden goodbye” to leave.
It’s all about the big houses, flash cars and flying around in private jets for these fuckers nowadays, football comes a very distant second.
They might get a few quid for Hannibal if Colonel Decker is still hiding in the bushes.
