LFox99 Posted 25 June 2022 Share Posted 25 June 2022 Milan going after Ziyech now, already signed Origi and they desperately need to get a replacement CB and midfielder. New owners or not, they might genuinely not have enough left over to go for CDK, especially seeing how he doesn't play in a prioritized position.

Leeds is tracking him and studying the possibility of offering the 40M € requested by Bruges. AC Milan are considering an offer of 30M € + bonus. I think if we really wanted him, he'd come here. Sadly the club seem to not have the 30M needed, which is a bad sign for us. Considering the money being spent by rivals, I think the club are quite happy being 8-10 in the PL. The ambition to move up just doesn't seem to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 25 June 2022 Share Posted 25 June 2022 The way to attract this lad is to pay him and Bruges more than anyone else is prepared to. In fact I do not see any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert09 Posted 25 June 2022 Share Posted 25 June 2022 3 hours ago, Ric Flair said: It's not so much we don't have any money but we simply have a massive squad with up to 10 players we no longer want. When you push it to the max in terms of wages as we do in an attempt to disrupt the top 6 then it makes it very difficult to do exactly what we want each summer on incomings. Let's say we go and buy a new CB, a new CM, a new RW/ACM, back up LW and a versatile forward then we've got about 35 senior players on our books, our wage structure would be gargantuan and likely fail FFP and that's at a time when we badly need to get Maddison and Ndidi on new deals to prevent being in this situation we are with Tielemans and Soyuncu next summer. Don't forget we've also likely doubled KDH and Fofana's wages in recent weeks. For us to have a positive net spend each season something has to give, we wither need to cut our squad down to about 18-20 proper 1st team players and then have 5 young players either from our academy or the likes of Ebiowi who can be signed for a mediocre/nominal fee and help push the first team. That then gives financial flexibility to look to buy low and sell high and keep the conveyor belt of squad improvement fresh but equally as important realistic. We are paying the price for being successful and for keeping together a young squad and wanting them to grow and prosper, with that you have to keep increasing their wages and if you don't then they want to leave but that doesn't mean you can just cash in on them and improve the squad like I've described above, instead it's that they likely go for a knock down fee with a year to go after being disillusioned here and then you're in a nightmare scenario. It was all happy days for us whilst we rode the crest wave of these early PL years where we had the capacity to grow our wage structure exponentially and also were pulling in massive financial gains for winning the PL, playing knockout CL football and then being very fortunate to sell players like Mahrez, Maguire and Chilwell for obscene money. Part of me thinks with the storm that's coming next summer, I'd try and cash in on a Ndidi or Iheanacho this summer, rather than be left with yet more players in their final year of their contract next summer and use the money to try and rid ourselves of a huge chunk of fringe players we don't want to free us up for next summers real rebuild. I'd use a decent chunk of whatever finances we have left over to get young talented but unproven players who cost a few million to spend a year trying to push our 1st team and integrate in to the club and there be less massive upheaval next summer when we have to replace hugely important players. i just absolutely love that you still got to mention ebiowi in this post 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glebe_sydneyfox Posted 25 June 2022 Share Posted 25 June 2022 Said it before but he will end up at Milan We don't really need him in terms of attacking options and certainly won't utilise the majority of our budget on trying to enhance what is clearly not a priority (goals scored).

Oh yeah I totally can't see what we could use a creative attacker who is versatile enough to play across the front line for Milan just lost out on 2 players they had already agreed personal terms with because they couldn't muster up a bid. They're currently not even able to extend their own sporting director and Maldini as advisor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted 25 June 2022 Share Posted 25 June 2022 Next best thing to attract and impress players after money is your stadium. Bruges is a third of the size of Leicester but has a stadium nearly as big. The constant delays to our stadium expansion is the most disappointing thing at the moment. This is costing us about 150,000 ticket sales a season and if we want to be considered a member of the elite it needs to be attended to now.

JimJams Posted 25 June 2022 Share Posted 25 June 2022 We'd better hope we can shift Hamza for a few hundred mill then to fund the stadium expansion as well as all the new signings that will undoubtedly bring. Piece of piss. Not sure why they're dawdling to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of true… however for a player the training facilities is 10x more important than the stadium, as that’s where they spend the majority of the year and most of their time. But stadium would fall after training facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
