None of us would be surprised if he leaves, but it’s also not out of the question that he starts for us against Cov. What will be most annoying for me is that he starts with us, has a great start and then someone comes in for him. I would like the club to have some bits about them and tell all parties concerned that it's wrapped up soon or deals off and he stays. I don't want him starting only for him to get plucked at the last minute, Fofana really hampered us last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that we can just tell interested clubs to do one is fanciful. what if we can’t offload a decent proportion of those into the last year of their contracts and the others we’ve earmarked out like Castagne ? I’m sure we can hold onto Barnes if we get in £30/40m elsewhere but are we going to take the risk that we pull any barnes deal whilst we still have the other players and no decent bids on them ?

If Barnes doesn’t fancy any proposed deal, however much money is involved, it will be immaterial what the club wants to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we are breaking the rules an/or or KP have decided to pay off Macquarie money privately, were in the shit. In fairness to the club, right now they appear to have gone for Bluff. Not a bad tactic. But even if KP have stepped in (big if), I still reckon we've gotta knock an easy 20m off the wage bill. at least 6 more players will go between now and end of August to balance the books.

Bluearmyfox28 Posted 7 July 2023 Share Posted 7 July 2023 Do people seriously think we would have spent the best part of £15m on two players if we was that much in the shit financially?! Yes they’ve not been as good as previous years but this idea that we are ****ed is massively over the top. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily done. Castagne, Ndidi, Praet, Vestergaard, one of Hamza and Soumare then probably Faes and or Kelechi and Daka. We won't need to sell Barnes and he will more than happy to stay.

CrazyKopCorner Posted 7 July 2023 Share Posted 7 July 2023 I think this may be the one that goes into extra time but I think the interest is real and in my view he will inevitably go The good news is that unlike Maddison we should get his market value which I think will be £45m + 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they’ve not been as good as previous years but this idea that we are ****ed is massively over the top. Exactly. It was one year because we had maximised our wage budget and didn't get in Europe/didn't sell anyone until late on. If we'd have sold a couple of players last season then there wouldn't have been any of this narrative. The King Power stuff was so irrelevant to what we were doing as a club. The two were not linked in the slightest and i still hear that bullshit now. Yes, they lost money but Top could go out and spend £100m on a ****ing Yacht now and probably forget he has it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison £6m alone…. Tielemans £4m…. Add to that we have reduced the amortisation of player transfers on our balance sheet from around 62m + in 22/22 to 42m for 23/24 even including the fees of Coady and Winks So that is another positive swing in our current financial position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 7 July 2023 Share Posted 7 July 2023 I saw a tweet this morning stating the PL mornies last season were 106m for us I think that means our parachute payment this season is approx £60m I think our wage bill was around 100m. We’ve lost around 20m with the out of contract players and probably a further 25m with the relegation reductions. So that means on a wages basis we are pretty much stood still compared to last season. We lost around 90m in the previous year when we took 130m tv revenues. I’d guess we will lose around 30m this season just finished. on a very crude basis we probably need to take in a further 30m nett via transfer dealings before the window shuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKLFox Posted 7 July 2023 Share Posted 7 July 2023 Arsenal are on their way to spending £200m on 3 players & providing the thick end of £1m pwk on wages for those 3 players & we are hoping for £40m in the sale of Barnes in order for us to buy 4 players I'd like to say its all down to being in the championship but sadly its just another stamp of rule in the mini league of 7.

Stadt Posted 7 July 2023 Share Posted 7 July 2023 (edited) If he stays I reckon he'd get 20+, even 25 would be attainable depending on our style of play. 13 goals in 30.1 nineties last season and he scored 9 in 24 nineties at West Brom. He's also 5 goals away from 50 for us. Edited 7 July 2023 by Stadt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
