Bad value doesn’t mean bad player at all.
Rice is not worth half of the 105m Woolwich payed but I would sure as hell want him in our midfield right now

We won’t sign another centre back. We might get a forward and that’s it. We need another top centre back but there’s no way we’ll pay a lot for another one.
All shit tbf
Half of them will be sold to Saudi over the next few years.
Press resistant CMs are so important at top level no wonder we completely collapsed as a team as soon as Dembele left.
It’s a shame we aren’t linked with any other than that kid Veiga
Yeah so that's absolute nonsense, to claim them as being in profit you have to accept that their outgoings are spread over 8 and 5 years, but not apply the same logic to their incoming fees, they're being assumed as a total received.
Now there might be some idiotic loophole that allows this as far as FFP goes, but you have to be incredibly generous to call it making a profit, they're leveraged to fuck on these signings and one or two windows down the line it's going to end up severely restricting them.
Next window they're £135m down before they've even started.
I know all clubs are in the same boat, but no other clubs are taking it to such a wild extent.

Would you want him if it meant we lost bissouma, Maddison, Sarr, and Bentancur? Because all 4 of them combined cost about the same as rice.
No eh. Selling players gives us funds to buy. Paying them off not only doesn't, but puts us more in a deficit.
That'll show em.
It’s actually embarrassing how shit they still are and will continue to ge even though they’ve spent nearly a billion quid. Fake club.
We aren't going to go after Rice category players.
If we were chasing a 100m striker then fair enough but who is there? Kolo Muani? and he's off to PSG.
We would look at another 60-70m striker at most and would sign a donkey
Or we could have rice as well. That the point I’m trying to make, why are we penny pinching all the time why are rivals are spending willingly. I get there is not an endless pile of money but why are we so cheap all the time
Let's start a revolution.
Should be able to. Not Rice in particular as for us I don't think he was ever worth it (our strongest area) but 100m+ players should be gettable for us if the club think they shift the dial. 100m is the new 60m.
not selling them and holding them doesn't though.
I was making my own quote actually
What am I a fucking scout. We pay a network of people a small fortune to do that.
As Ange has said that we knew Kane was going, why have we not got anyone lined up that is better than an outside punt?
Why would we pay (to your admission) £50m more than a player is worth for a position we don't particularly need?
Surely this isn't you showing us the better way of doing trfs?
