As the thread starter, I've not mentioned my opinion yet. I think we'll sell nobody for big money this summer. Mitoma we'll have the most interest in, but a combination of big club FFP woes, his new deal and the imperative to not piss off RDZ too much will mean we're never offered enough to be...

They have the means yes. FFP (and PSR) headroom will be the constraint.

I just don't think we're going to get those sort of transfer fees in any more.

One thing which could (or ok, might not) have an effect is whether he starts for Brazil in their upcoming games. They are playing us at Wembley next month. If he starts and performs and possibly scores, he carries the transfer fee, less like that of a promising young striker from a mid table...

I suppose the fees are what means we're not looking over our shoulder FFP-wise like a lot of other clubs are. And even then, getting £110m for Caicedo softens the blow for fans more effectively than getting half that, which was what was originally on the table. But I take the point that it's...

It annoys me as well. But I think it's natural given we've not held on to our best players in the last couple of summers. I think what it would take to stop this is some statement refusals to sell. Eg Man Utd offer us £80m for Pedro and we tell them to do one, Pedro then signs new longer term...

The first part of that is likely. Saudi will pay £100m + for a 31 year old The second is plausible, but there are other contenders
