We're clearly looking to sign Huijsen,Kerkez, and are targeting a 9, at bare minimum, that's a decent amount of money we'd be spending, so let's see what happens. We're getting a chunk of money for winning the league, and whatever money we've gotten in the CL. 

I agree.

 

Ornstein again on NBC sports reiterating that we want Huijsen,Kerkez, and a centerforward for sure. 

Have to get another midfielder , have to

Very expensive though

Would be about the ninth most expensive left back ever, just ahead of Luke Shaw

Definitely 

we have great players in there but we need some physicality, some presence, we’re too easily played through at times

It's not the highest priority, but it is 100% essential.

[cocknose]

Yeah, left back, centre back, midfielder and striker are essential, keep most and sell Darwin and I would be confident with that

Goal and assist for Ekitike today. 

[Frosty Jack]

Keeper, two centre backs, left back, right back, central midfielder, two forwards.

That’s the kind of rebuild a snide Manc or Blue tells you the team needs whilst feigning praise.

He's done enough now and he really should stop. We like him but let's not have anyone else interested okay

We lost £57m last season

In a period where we were in the Europa League, nuAnny only was partially open and we spent £160m net on players. Things have moved on from there

Cunha defo fails the "don't sign d****eads" test, so can't see us going for him.

They have, CL income being the main one but there’s not money ‘saved’ from that season and that £57mm loss is relevant for PSR

It’s only relevant for PSR if we continue to make losses - and there will be a massive amount different in this current financial year and the next one.

We should have considerable money to spend even with renewing Mo and Virg’s contracts - and there should be no excuse for the club not to do so.

Oh I think we’ve money - in fact I know we have, the accounts says so but the 3 yr rule is there and so that £57mm loss is relevant

It really isn’t unless the club f*** up massively.
 

That financial year represented a period where we were forced to spend money on a new midfield when a bunch of other sub optimal circumstances were true - and those won’t be this time round 

 

[honourablegeorge]

Did we spend enough on stadium stuff that the £57M isn't relevant?

That’s actually a fair shout. I reckon a decent chunk of the loss will have been relating to the main company doing nuAnny going bust and the extra expenses incurred in taking a lot of it on house. That stuff doesn’t count for PSR

Yeah, I'd imagine we're close to a clean slate.
