240m euro outlay. (Of course made these prices up like I am playing FM)

We spent 250 last summer, though recovered 120. Not sure we can recover close to that this year, but do have European football.

I think Eze and Ugarte are statement signings, Simons on loan smart. Gray will be a star I am sure and Calafiori looks quality.

Gimenez is a risk but the available strikers market is poor.

Keeper seems regarded on the continent after a good loan spell, don’t know too much but assume that’s the vibe we will be looking for.
 
O
Agree on most except Toney. Just no from me.

I think Raphinha would cost similar numbers for fee and wages to Olise. UTD might be in the mix but under Ratcliffe they might not spend the same way and already have a 90m investment into Antony they need to address. Chelsea don’t need and won’t chase. That leaves Liverpool or PSG. I could definitely see him staying at Palace.
Olise all day long much younger!
 
Fellas.

Don’t peak too early. We’ve got months of this nonsense.

You really want to be hitting mid-season form in early August. That’s when the full extent of Daniel’s depravity should be laid bare.

And then, like horny reprobates, desperate to be satisfied, the real fun begins.

It has to be olisse!

Raphinha would cost similar but it's not the money that means we won't get Olise, it's cos he won't pick us. He's going right to the top, he knows it, he'll have his pick of the bunch and the 60m release clause will be the steal of the summer. Would love it so much but in absolutely no world is he coming to us, sorry.

As for where, City? Perfect Pep winger and they have a hole on the right. Liverpool will be all over him especially if they let Salah go. Antony won't put off United from bidding. PSG could tempt him given his desire to play for France. Maybe other clubs abroad. Maybe even Palace. He just has too many better options.
Need to get that £60M out asap and get in before anyone else does! Just the sort of player we need who can create shit out of nothing.
 
Honestly, if we were to ever try and splash big on a striker, this should be the window. The striker market is usually pretty shit but there are a decent number of quality/high potential strikers on the market this window compared to the last few.

Sesko, Openda, Gyokeres and Guirassy have really exploded this season, Gimenez has been good, Solanke has established himself. Osimhen,Toney, Zirkzee and even Vitor Roque are on the market while Boniface and Isak could be gotten for the right price.

Out of these, I'd say Gimenez, Solanke, Toney and Roque aren't even an upgrade on Richarlison. But the fact they're available should hopefully reduce competition if we were to target some other striker.

Osimhen and Isak are probably out of reach to be honest (100m+) but the others are much more reasonable. There's no reason we shouldn't be in for them, especially Sesko and Openda who should go for around 70m max.

If we can have Ugarte he would be perfect pairing with Bentancur. Don't think we should pay 40m for Gimenez, have my doubts about him.

Yep. A lot of jumping the gun already as a cop in mechanism. The summer windows get more unbearable every year. Wannabe ITK’s cropping up this this new chap. Looking forward to him being exposed in due course. He’s probably Hercules ffs.
 
So we probably need 6/7 attacking players for 3 positions. Providing Son, Johnson, Richi and Kulu stayyl (and we sell Solomon and Gil) that's at least 2 players needed.

What I think will happen is that we will bring in 2 players and keep Solomon which makes it 7 players for the 3 positions.

Absolutely. Better off chilling out until the Euros have finished.
Then the frothing and Levy memes can commence.
