I'm as anxious as anyone to offload players, but you need interested buyers and you need your players to agree to those moves too. Wanting big fees is only one part of it.

You're being disingenuous here... No-one claimed that Porro was an Ange signing.......
You know as well as I do, that people were talking about finances.
Repeatedly told people that seem to find him dreamy that he is definitely out of his depth, we don't need anymore technically average footballers.
Wishful thinking imo but I would do it in a heartbeat when you look at all the other striker on the market. Keep the gunpowder somewhat dry for him.
Note Glaziers; plural.
Most of them ARE......... It's only 2 of them that aren't keen to cash out BECAUSE they rinse them as a piggy-bank from year to year anyway.
"Our players are shit, get them out of our club"
"Why isn't anyone buying our players????"
If Lavia and Caicedo go through then that is €950m spent in 15 months. Almost ONE BILLION.
What is financial fair play ?
How is any normal club supposed to compete?
There’s not even a precise strategy there. Just buy a load of highly rated players and hope it sticks.
tbf would you really part with money for dire, ndomebells, tanguy or reggie?
Very unlikely to happen but what if Man Utd. want to sell Mason Greenwood?
Yes, I do know about the rape story but the charges were dropped...

There's still time to delete this...
I'd tell you to fuck off.
A couple of things going on with United:
1. A number of the Glaziers do want to sell. Others don’t. I can’t remember who is who but you can look it up.
2. The Glaziers, I believe, do take a dividend from United’s profit. Again, I’m too lazy to check this but I think it’s the case.
3. The Glazier’s debt is being entirely serviced by the club. I think Burnley’s new owners used the same scheme.
4. United are a revenue generating machine. Unlike City, they’re not propped up by fake third party transactions. Their revenue is real. They can compete with the dopers toe to toe and still make money. This isn’t true of 99.9% of clubs.
5. The Glaziers haven’t spent on infrastructure at all.
At the time a number of fans were saying 'we must back or manager'
A mistake, particularly since we well over paid for Porro
Not through official club channels but said in interviews with the press at the start of the summer that he wanted a new challenge.

FFP to my knowledge at least the prem version is amortised so they can take the £600-700m net spend and spread it over 5-8 seasons.
Obviously these huge contracts would fuck any normal club long term however Chavs have been able to dump large numbers of player in the Saudi league. Just so happens that Clearlake Capital (main investor in Chelsea) is majority Saudi money.
This could be a plan by Chelsea to spend freely then dumb all their players above market price on the Saudi league to get around FFP that way. The alternative is that they don’t care about FFP and will just take the fines.
