This question may rise eyebrows,
But feck it, Out of financial reasons to raise funds the academy boys are 100 percent profit, Boehlys dream basically?
We surely have to now consider reece james? the guy is really good but he's also really injury prone, maybe madrid or somewere on a better climate slower football mite suit the lad? Im not saying that sale would please me in the slightest but maybe its 1 of them 1s you bite the bullet with and gamble before this injury run keeps rolling and he eventually starts to lose value season by season
James 50 Mill surely?
Maatsen 35?
Broja 30-35? depends how he does on his loan
Then maybe flog sterling off and his huge wages seen as he's done flip all in a chelsea shirt only fill up his bank account
Hope fofana has a good loan spell at Burnley to get back what they overpaid for him in my opinion he's 1 of the signings iv no idea what sense it made to sign him
Definetly feel silva is slowing down he's had a few of them games this year were i think he even knows its time
Interested to hear all your thoughts?

Difficult one Broja and Maatsen and Chalobah probably won't be missed .
One of James or Gallagher one will probably be sold Madrid possibly keen on James, hard to know which one is the better to sell may depend on how good Lavia or Gusto become,
Personally I would sell Sterling but hard to find a sale that won't result in a loss on the books .
Silva going, hopefully Fofana gets fit.
As with all thoughts will Probably change quickly if Sterling gets a hat trick against Palace ha ha.

Poch,
I would also add £30mil for Hall to Newcastle, Lukaku £25mil, probably CG for £40mil (unless he signs a new contract), then there is Chabs if he wants to leave (hopefully not) .
One I hope does leave is Sterling, we seem to play much better without him.

Forgot about chalobah and hall to be honest there probably going to bring in another 60 from sale of both,
Youd imagine if they got
25 chalobah
35 hall
50 james
25 lukaku
35 maatsen
30 broja
20 fofana if loan goes well
220 right there go get oshimen and put the other 100 towards wiping out any Ffp loses
Sterling alone being gone his wages alone would probably be worth the club selling him he's on over a 1.3 million a month and he's been awfull.

In regards to James, he's had surgery this time to rectify his injury woes. I'd like to see if he'd return to fitness after this before potentially looking to sell.
We all agree the injuries are worrying but the surgery is different to the way he's come back previously.

Although it may be a long way off, should we qualify for European competition, we have to be mindful of having homegrown (inc. club trained) players to be registered….

I'm sticking by Reece. Extraordinary player.
09 Feb 2024 09:26:06
He's not standard.
10 Feb 2024 00:53:52
I see what you did there.

I didn't mean that cech mate.
