Has the strategy of “building a young talented squad that could be goon in X amount of years” ever actually worked for any club though?
It’s been the perennial cliche of ENIC’s reign, signing young up and coming players for a future that never arrives.
I'd bin off GLC too then.
Add the proceeds to the 80m CB kitty you mentioned.... Call it 100m.
I'm not telling you.
Haven't seen any transfer fees bandied about. He's in his final year so reckon this gets done for 18m - Fuham paid less than 2m so they'll be well furnished.
Why wouldn't you want to have a young talented squad though? There is very little downside to getting a future star before they hit their peak value and command their largest deal, they often have much higher sell on value and represent a longer number of years of service should they decide to stay. I'd say most clubs will only really pay the massive transfer fees of players in or near their prime when they have gaps that desperately need plugging in the starting XI, when you're rounding out a squad generally younger players will always be preferred. Better for succession planning in the long run.
Like Dorrington, but feel he’s still growing, his game is very up and down.
Wouldn‘t risk him yet, not even loan (have high hopes). But you never know! Would be lovely as he’s a regular youth international, think I feel protective for him physically as he’s the only high level CB we have (Sayers has looked decent TBF).
Mate, if you feel dizzy, check your sugars as your brain seems starved of oxygen or something here.
Can we count Romero again too
Can we offer you Lo Celso and Sanchez for a bumper 35M deal?
Great idea although I'm not sure which side would be demanding the 35M.

That could be a new role for Ndombele. He’d smash a pie chart.
We’ve been through this before, but the reality is we won’t be able to find a 20m replacement that is as good as him.
Scott we should buy and then loan out, so not a like for like replacement for GLC.
I’m beginning to get very sceptical with those multi pointed star charts.
Saw one today where Gvardiol duels won were around 35%, miles lower than Tapsoba. I remember last week seeing it had put Dier at 5% duels won, which just can’t be right.
For the purposes of this exercise; I don't rate him..... He's dead wood to me. I want rid. Give the few hundred minutes (max) I envisage giving him to Divine instead. I want to spend the additional proceeds on the best CBs possible.
You think he might be of use....? You can keep him for your fantasy team..... But he's not in mine.
All I know is that if football was that simple, data analysis would be a piece of piss. It’s very simplistically presented info with no context. And cherry picked stats!!
I remember one which showed Maguire vs VVD (during his peak) and Maguire looked far better. Especially with defenders, there’s so much work there which stats just won’t even reflect.
I made a similar point recently and people are just like “data duhhhh” without realising that these aren’t the 6 holy stats that every eg defender must optimise. Show another 6 stats and they all look like good things for a defender to have and show a completely different picture.
That sounds like a good project actually.
Highly doubt he'll choose Spurs over Barca...and it's a bit late now to enter a deal...
Tottenham Hotspur are now hopeful they will be able to hijack Barcelona's move for Athletico Paranaense forward Vitor Roque, having recently made contact with the player's entourage, according to reports from Spain.
The 18-year-old is likely to be announced as a Barca player later this week, however that has not deterred Tottenham from making a late swoop for the youngster, as reported by Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo (via Sport Witness).

Who is Vitor Roque signing for?
Reports have indicated that Roque is on the verge of a move to Barcelona, with the La Liga club agreeing a deal worth €45m (£39m) for the forward, despite the likes of Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain making late attempts to hijack the move.The 18-year-old is likely to be announced as a Barca player later this week, however that has not deterred Tottenham from making a late swoop for the youngster, as reported by Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo (via Sport Witness).

We have a big shortage in attacking mids, because of the change from 343 to 433.For the purposes of this exercise; I don't rate him..... He's dead wood to me. I want rid.

It’s not smart to sell players in a position where there’s already a scarcity.
Neither Scott or Devine are going to be PL ready next season. Europa Conference may have been an opportunity to give them game time but we didn’t qualify.
