The media reports that we do that. I wonder how much if it is true.
Do we?
Reasonable wages seem crazy to us, after being indoctrinated by Woodward's logic of paying as much as humanly possible per week.
The game in Scotland is way more physical than the PL , he wasn't physically developed enough TBH, that was a piss-poor decision to send him there on loan IMO
Mowbray really managed his game time well in the Championship too, at that point in his career he had barely played any first-team football. Mowbray was fantastic for his development and deserves a lot of credit.
They have to follow the same rules as everyone else, but they used a loophole that is now closed initially, they used 7-8 year contracts to amortise their purchases, the wages are not as big and they've also sold a lot of academy players, tjose long contracts will probably hurt them in the long run though espically if the players don't work out for them
I'll take your word for it as I'm not familiar enough with his Sunderland time to know
For Napoli it should be 70m. For Chelsea it should be 100m
Considering you buy halve of them it’s probably quite true.
Napoli can’t afford over 50m.
Conflicted on this, on the one hand it could be a shrewd sell as I’m not sure he’s good enough. On the other, I think at the present moment selling him makes us look really weak. Perception is key.
Napoli won’t be paying 70m. Where they getting that money from?
Is that our problem?
Hmm..
Sell garnacho for 60m buy dibling for 30m equals profit?
Save us Napoli
They're selling Kvaratskhelia this window and Osimhen will be sold by the summer window at the latest.
They spent 90m on Osimhen years ago so they can definitely splurge when they have funds
Well ye because they won’t be buying him so we won’t be getting money.
Good point.
Would love us to sign dibling. Such a talented player
Why are they describing him as 50 million Garnacho when there's zero chance we sell him for that?
I’d rather we sold Rashford. Garnacho is still only 20 years old. Unless we’re targeting Dibling I’d rather we kept Garnacho and try and improve him in the position Amorim wants
Is that his value maybe?
I've criticised him a lot but have mixed feelings about selling him. The football romantic tells me, despite his shortcomings, for a 'proven' player this young, we should utilising his qualities until we can't e.g mostly off the bench and squad rotation, especially as he's on a reasonable contract.
However, he's probably our most saleable (large) asset and for the financial future of the club because we've been run so poorly, I wouldn't be against a fee of at least £55m+ from abroad and £70m+ domestically. Obviously we should be offloading Casemiro and the likes of Antony first, perhaps even Hojlund but those are probably unrealistic and would receive smaller returns based on FFP.

The pitches are shite as well, which for someone who likes to dribble as much as Diallo must have been annoying. Sure, Ibrox and Celtic Park might be fine but have you ever seen Aberdeen's stadium during the Autumn months?
If we can't do anything with a young talent at the level of Garnacho, we may as well pack it in and load our squad with the likes of Matic, Zlatan, Ighalo, Cavani, Sanchez, etc.
If there's more interest in him the price will go up.
At first I was thinking no way, but the more I’ve thought about it, the more I’m coming round to the idea of selling him.
I get he has some development to come but I don’t envisage him being a starter in Amorim’s system due to his technical limitations and I can’t think of many games where he’s impressed me when he has started. He seems more of an impact player from the bench and it’s therefore a lot of money to turn down
I’d only do it on the premise the money went on 1-2 incoming players though and ideally in the summer and not now.

London weighting
tough call. Dont think he fits in this formation amorin wants, plus is incredibly inconsistent. Has the ability to score worldies though. Could be a similar situation to martial. I thought it wouldve been an incredibly stupid thing to sell martial when it was rumored Mou wanted to do so, but in retrospect obviously that wouldve been a great decision. Could be something similar here where in 5 years we are thinking about how we couldve sold garnacho for 50-70 million and reinvested that well.
This is a real photo from Pittodree, doesn’t even show the 20 million Seagull that have no fear and are twice the size of an average seagull.The pitches are shite as well, which for someone who likes to dribble as much as Diallo must have been annoying.

Selling Garnacho seems like madness, but if he doesn’t suit the system and we are in a PSR hole then I guess…
We can't sell Rashford. Hes a lazy scumbag on a ridiculous wage. Gernacho is by far our best asset for generating a significant fee
£50m plus McT back
