I don’t see how we can keep going with our transfer policy if we want to manage our wage bill and keep finding at least one player to sell each summer to keep reinvesting. The likes of Iwobi, Anderson, Berge, Leno etc whilst solid and good players are probably all on £70k+ a week, we really do need to start looking for more Muniz types, not only for cheaper fees but because they’ll be on a long contract for probs less than half that, so the risk is reduced if they don’t work out. -- SW6.doc

Agreed on all, and you then add in the sell on factor. We got lucky with Mitro and Palhinha that there were suitors for ageing players. That won't keep happening. Can anyone see us getting £25m+ for Anderson, Iwobi, Berge etc if we sell them at age 28 or older? (NT) -- Same Old Story, Thursday, July 17, 09:51:55am (85-115-50-2.mailcontrol.com/85.115.50.2)
- 100% agree, can’t rely on the Saudis, they seem to be a bit scatter gun with who they want and are after certain names and players who create marketing opportunities and larger bigger clubs won’t pay big money for 28+ players, palhina really was an anomaly and look how that’s worked for Bayern. I hope our last few seasons were to ensure prem stability and now we can evolve our transfer strategy.

- We would have to compete with the likes of Brighton, Chelsea to atract these younger players, and we would need a head coach who had the confidence and know how to work with developing young players. Maybe they are planning for life beyond Marco. I would certainly be happier if FFC and rival clubs lived more within their means.

  - If you discount the rise through the leagues and the very first season in the premier league, we were remarkably adept at this under Fayed, to be fair. (NT) -- Same Old Story, Thursday, July 17, 12:47:49pm (85-115-50-2.mailcontrol.com/85.115.50.2)
