I hope we break the duck of not selling our squad and surplus players when they are worth something. I remember we/ole kept Lingard despite West Ham wanting him after his purple patch too, to our detriment
McTominay (Out) | announced - signed for Napoli
- Thread starter Ace of Spades
- Start date

And i can't say the same about McTominay?I can say what I like, so it is my choice
Some people are so weird
It will open up the spending cap as it is coming in as pure profit for PSR reasons then it can actually save as down payment for two players worth £50m each, granted we won't get the 20m all at once but I am sure that once you have receivables of 20m you can work out a financing arrangement.
We overplayed our hand and forfeited the £20m we badly needed. We have again fecked up another season before it's even bagun. Our decline is punctuated by several steps of self sabotage.
It's not a risk if no one is paying that amount...
been saying this for a very very long time... by far the worst player. and id go as low as anyone who has played 100 games.
Technically has no attributes good enough to play for this club.
would really love to be proved wrong too .
As far as I know our constrain is purely cash flow related. I’ve read somewhere that psr wise we could spend up 200 mil this season
You said you'd sell him for 20 million. I said I expect the club to take a low offer for Eriksen. Very different statements. Odd you didn't notice how I didn't state how much I'd sell him for...And i can't say the same about McTominay?

You can write these facts as many times as you can can but McT will always be labelled as some amazing goal-scoring midfielder. Same goes as "he gives everything" despite jogging around most of time.
Easily worth £40m? What goal scoring exploits and what versatility? Please explain.
“Easily worth £40m” but even though everyone knows we’re open to selling at around £30m….its all very strange that there isn’t one single club offering above £20m. Something doesn’t quite compute.
How're we not putting Pellistri on the shop window? That sounds like an easy 15-20.
Real headscratcher this is. Isn’t it? Why the clubs aren’t lining up with £30-40m bids for this PL proven goal scoring versatile midfielder? Where are all these clubs? Where are they?
Yep, at the end of the day your market value is only good as what a buying club is willing to pay for. McTominay I’m sure can do a job at some lower half side or even a mid table side, but he suits a more direct style of football & most teams have moved away from that. West Ham were interested last season, because he could’ve done alright for a Moyes side. Should’ve taken Fulham’s offer. With PSR rules that £20m would’ve freed up a bit of spend for us. Hopefully they come back with a couple of million more, but it’s not seeming likely at this point.
Yep because if we are reliant on a guy who scored a ‘massive’ 7 times in 32 appearances for us last season to get the goals then we will be very lucky to finish as high as 8th.
Trust the smart people we have hired, that's why none of you are DOFs negotiating deals. Anyone who thinks he isn't worth £40M is delusional. His benchmarks across midfielders in top 5 leagues:
99th percentile in scoring
90th touches (penalty box)
50th assists
86th aerial's
79th blocks
94th clearance
He scores more than most midfielders, passes average, dominates headers, positions himself well, and high amount of defensive actions.
His closest premier league comp? Well Sean Longstaff is a poor man's Mctominay. How much were we quoted? I believe £50M. Based on that £40M is steal.

thats arguable for a midfielder, most games he gets grief for hiding from the ball in midfield.
And yet for some bizarre reason literally no other team is prepared to pay even half of that valuation. Are you sure McTomminey is not actually a poor man’s Longstaff?
Shame we couldn't just keep Pellistri and sell Antony for 20m.
I do think he is for sale but due to the Copa he only just got back. He should be an easy sell as you say and there is clearly not a pathway to the first team for him here so we need to get it done.
So with Fabio Carvalho going from Liverpool to Brentford for £27.5m inclusive of add ons, Fulham will receive 20% of profit above £5m.
Therefore Fulham now have enough budget to get McTominay deal across the line and close the gap between valuations.
I reckon this will be done after we play Fulham next Friday which also means McTominay won't play against us, so a win-win.

Got a boner reading that
Woops Wrong thread
This is why taking punts on young players on free transfers is always worth it. What a profit for pool.
No guarantee. If they've got more cash, they might consider if there's a higher calibre of player on the market. It happened last season with West Ham - they had the money, but our asking price made them look elsewhere in the higher price range.
Can only do one thing, and couldnt even do that today (couldnt even hit the ball). Hopefully Fulham comes back in, or we will be kicking ourselves for not getting those 20 millions.
Sell him for 25-30m pure profit.
No team will go higher due to PSR.

30 minutes, 6 touches. He is a keeper. 30 mil is a way too low indeed.
Losing value with every minute he plays.
He is a 20 million player on ability alone.
He does rectify some value in being prolific from time to time but many have him overvalued.
He's a severely limited player, rejecting 20 million was a comical decision.

Cool as a cucumber from the spot another 5 million on his fee there
Please Fulham. Please.
Same story. When he doesnt score, he doesnt add much at all.
My only hope that he will be sold is that he is the only one who we can sell to get money for new midfielder.
Selling him is absolutely essential this window. Call Fulham back and take the £20 million.
That's the only hope otherwise he is Ten Hag's favorite and going nowhere.
Think he actually detracts. Him not taking touches when he should have or having poor first touches in his first 10 mins after coming on was brutal for our attacking play
Running out of play today as well made it look like you've dropped me in that United team. Out of his depth on the ball and not of the requisite quality to take us forward.
Football is a squad game and Scott is a good rotation player. Keep.
Doing that Fellaini run in the 66th minute scared Fulham away
INEOS have gotten rid of one limited player today, would be great if we can manage another at some point this month. I don't mind if his replacement is a bargain bin signing - as long as they can do a bit of actual midfield play.
