They signed Barcola from Lyon
I do think we can raise £75M at least by selling Biss, Betancur, and Richarlison. If we sell Son to the K-League or MLS maybe it becomes £100M.
£200M is about 2 years' spending at our recent levels, though. So, yeah, it would be a big push for us. Definitely needed though.
Frankfurt are also very good at making forwards/strikers look really good.
Luka Jovic was a god damn monster at Frankfurt, but flopped hard at Madrid. And has only in the past few seasons found new life as a 6-10 goal a season back up striker in Serie A.
Either that, or they are incredible at scouting coaches that can make strikers into monsters. Hütter did it with the Jovic, Rebic and Haller trio. Glasner with Kamada, Kolo Muani and Borre/Lindstrom/Alario trio. Edit: Or right now for that matter with Marmoush, Ekitiké and Knauff under Toppmöller.

I was very impressed by Damsgaard in the recent games I saw.
TBF, this is a terrible way to judge a player for a transfer. You've watched him play 73 minutes in a mid-week game away against a superior team, and decided he's just a "highlights player with good marketing".
I'm not overly excited about signing him, but I'm not going to decide he's no good based on 73 minutes.
Maybe they are just good at identifying what strengths are needed in their system and finding a striker who suits those traits. Then you have some bozo club who sees him scoring goals and they buy him for a totally different style and system.
The apex if this phenomenon was back in the day Chelsea buying Chris Sutton from Blackburn and deciding to play with no wingers or width at all.

Shit didn’t know
I thought the tone of my post, plus I said, I hadn’t see enough of him, made it clear…….that I hadn’t see enough of him.
The frustrating thing is it’s a one time cost. We aren’t on life support like Chelsea under Roman where they lost 100M every season…. We need a boost, and then we can become self sufficient
Do you mean K-League? Their transfer record is like £5m.
Particularly as we will also have the new Croatian lad and possibly Phillips next season. We would be ridiculously overloaded if we signed a new CB on a long term contract. Even Dragusin's agent was moaning about him not playing enough prior to the injuries
I get what Ange is kinda saying regarding injured players coming back but that's why signing Tomori would make sense.
Also just go and get Mitoma..... He is the only elite dribbler winger that we could actually get.
Williams, Vini jr, Barcola, musiala, wirtz... We can't get but Mitoma we should be able to.

I don’t think we’ll even get half of that.
Richie will leave on a free. We’ll get nominal fees for Biss and Betancur.
how much do you think Brighton would sell one of their best players for?
how much would Levy pay for someone close to turning 28?
that will lead you to the answer of why we dont just "go get Mitoma"
Good player, he'd probably sooner wait until the Summer to move though. (Tomori)
Barca and Olmo are jokes.
