You can’t just assume this will happen and it’s not how ffp works anyway. The key isn’t only fees (as much as they help) it’s about getting Case (£1.5m per month, Varane £1.4m per month, Martial £1m per month etc.) off the wage bill.I'd hate for some of you lot to be in charge of this team. You'd do a worse job than ETH has regarding wheeling and dealing. Casemiro out i'm fine with. Looks past his best. But Bruno??? Good teams don't sell their best players, the very notion that you sell your best players to recoup some value and sign others, is a small club mentality. And unless you strike gold and get Coutinho like money like the scousers did it's not worth it.
Take Bruno out of our team this season and we'd be probably hovering above relegation. Give us 60m to waste on an average player? No thanks. Buy better players and make the team stocked so that the benched players can be sold on for profit is what good teams do. Ala 115FC with Palmer, Jesus etc.
What I don’t understand about our fan base is there’s an acceptance we’re not good enough but there’s an inability to accept the reality which is none of our senior players are the level we want. In the younger guys cases there’s the hope they kick on but for most established seniors, they’ve been part of a poor period in our history and as much as people blame managers, they are equally (if not more) to blame. Bruno still lives off his first two seasons and the fact he works hard, since then he’s been good with some real low periods mixed in but nowhere near good enough to be safe from a sale where we can recoup a good fee. Same goes for all our senior players.
