They'll just sell pepeHow are they going to afford this much, esp without CL?
Veira already cost £35m; Jesus £50m, Raphinha £55m. That's already £140m.
I wonder if after all this they can afford to go after CBs and LBs, 2 positions they also want additions in.
Where you getting your numbers from?Utd's revenue is around £690M for 2022, ours is £494M over the same period. The gap has closed massively in less than 5 years.
Chelsea generated £450M in 2022, at a time when they were in the CL and with those huge sponsorship deals you mentioned. Lower revenues, higher outgoings. If we haven't overtaken them it's only in relation to success on the pitch.
Liverpool generated £540M in 2022, also with CL etc.
All of the above are currently at peak or are dropping off, we've only started on the journey, as 2022 is just the first year we've been able to start seeing the benefits of the stadium, and we haven't yet had the full quota of events etc planned.
In 2022 we didn't have the CL income and we still have naming rights to the stadium to finalise.
We're a whole lot closer than I think you realise.
Premier League clubs make lots of money. They've got rid of lots of big earners. Owners pump in money** They spend 80-150m every summer. Selling the likes of Pepe, Cedric, Leno, Mari, Holding. FFP doesn't exist.How are they going to afford this much, esp without CL?

I think I would go for the BrazilianOut of Jesus, Richarlison and Raphinha, who seem to be the 3 forwards we are heavily linked too. Who would you want?

Mad how POK has gone from some DJ at a random bar to an FA registered intermediary, somewhat ITK for the club and one of the more well known figures within the fanbase
Richarlison for me, I think his tenacity, versatility, and shithousery are a natural fit with Conte.Out of Jesus, Richarlison and Raphinha, who seem to be the 3 forwards we are heavily linked too. Who would you want?
Raphinha is the most talented and dangerous. Sensational RW, very good LW. Hasn't played CF.Out of Jesus, Richarlison and Raphinha, who seem to be the 3 forwards we are heavily linked too. Who would you want?
I think Raphinha is the best player out of those 3 and solves our creativity issues. Outscored Richarlison 11 goals to 10 last season as well. I'd be gutted if Woolwich got him, less so the other 2.Out of Jesus, Richarlison and Raphinha, who seem to be the 3 forwards we are heavily linked too. Who would you want?
