Winks, lo celso, Tanganga, Reguilon, doherty and ndombele all expected to leave? With Spence to be the final signing... Wow the squad does feel thin even though any of the outgoings staying on won't make a difference really
 
Kool Keith vibes:

Pretty sure Keith got committed to Bellevue a few times. Hate to say this name but Gordon in these pics looks like a young, modern, Jimmy Saville. Wonder whats in store for Gordon these next few years...
 

Raphinha 'gives Barcelona 48 hours to agree a deal with Leeds' until he begins negotiations with Chelsea as Spanish side 'finally match £60m offer', after the Brazil star asked to MISS pre-season Australia tour to secure move​

How many games did that trio play last season between them, four, five?

No big loss, we have kids that could play half a dozen games between them this season in the PL/FA/CC
 
I don’t want to have Gio or Tanguy here any longer, but I do think that you can make more of a defense for Lo Celso. He just isn’t good enough for us and isn’t suited well to the league, but I do think that Gio at least put in the effort. Tanguy Is the more naturally gifted of the two but it’s like he’s squandered it with his work ethic. I can better respect the player that puts in the work and just isn’t good enough than the alternative.

I don’t think we are going to be able to shift all those players, at least not permanently but it’s possible. I have to say the only one I’d feel bad about would be Japhet and Doherty. I had really high hopes for the former and was really happy for the turnaround of the later until the injury.
 
Not directly relevant to us, but I find it staggering Barcelona can owe their players these sort of sums of money !



In short (and a great Athletic article)

"In January 2019, Frenkie de Jong was regarded as such a generational player that Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu paid money for him that the club did not have".

"De Jong’s price was set at €75 million (£63.5 million), plus €11 million in add-ons. Barca granted him a €14 million gross salary in an already overpaid squad"

"Last season, Barcelona spent €560 million on salaries. To put that into context, Bayern Munich paid €300 million in the same period. Senior sources from the Catalans admit they plan to reduce their wage bill to €400 million"


Loaning Lenglet out to us is merely Barca rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.


No one will ever convince me that UEFA give two fucks about FFP
 
I’d rather keep Tanguy than Gio, not that I want either to stay. Very underwhelming and not built for the PL at all, him playing well in Spain doesn’t give us any new information either.
It's amazing he's done LESS than Ndombele, is and even bigger tool off the pitch, and yet some folk keep cutting him slack...go watch he's low lights reel. Horrible nothing player, less popular than fatty less goals less assists hard pass on both of em . He is 100% the past and as soon as we get what Levy wants( that's the tricky bit) he is gone. Conte's future has no room for these empty vessels.
 
"Why would we not be looking at a HG option at RWB if we sold Doc, but be looking at one if we sold Emerson?"

Nothing pertaining to Spence in this wording, whereas the latter is centered on him.

I don't know the answer to the latter, but the former is answered by the poster's OG post.....
Go back and read the original post again. I can't bother to explain something that is obvious.
