It really is about wages when it comes to us. If we are in for a player and Man Utd are in for the same player he goes to Man Utd. Not because Man Utd is a better option or deemed to be a bigger club it’s because of money and the big gap in the offers. Man Utd will offer a lot more per week.
It’s not just what the players want,it’s what their families and agents want too. We just won’t compete with the big boys.

Might start to see less of this soon.
United are stacked with players they don't want and can't sell because of their wages..

Gotta agree with you on Mbuemo.

I'm worried he has had his one very good season and after we pay top dollar to get him here he regresses back to an average player. So similar to the Solanke signing for me.

Hope I'm wrong (if we sign him).

Mbeumo was extremely clinical this season but he has been consistently dangerous for Brentford since they came into the PL, he stood out straight away. I don’t see any reason to worry about him.

He’s hitting his prime at the perfect time for us, with Frank here it’s an absolute no-brainer to sign him. Wissa as well. If we chuck Tel and Richi and replace them with Mbeumo and Wissa that is immediately a huge upgrade to the squad.

Zhegrova, Francisco Coincecao, Bakwa... Abroad you can buy very good players at fair prices. Stay away from PL market.

Why do all our signings have to be good value? Our cost base is exceptionally low so spend some fucking money

Abroad is a risk - the PL is so physical that half the promising value players won’t have an impact. Seen how shit the Europa teams were vs an awful Utd and Spurs

We should be dipping into all three markets of young Champ/foreign teenagers, proven PL talent and punts from abroad. Balance
 
I would much rather Eze than Mbuemo. However I read somewhere we have a cash flow crunch this year ie. staged payments on players we bought previously that are due this summer eg Porro, Madders, etc. without the balance of staged payments due to be received this summer from previous players sold eg. Kane, PEH, etc.

If that is true then Eze is a problem with 60m due immediately regardless of our headroom in PSR. The alternative is to finance the Eze purchase price with short term debt - not attractive.

Spurs debt whilst big is currently at a very low interest rate on the stadium build. Think of it being like the interest rate on your mortgage. The debt to finance Eze will be like credit card debt in comparison.

Just what I read - don’t downvote the messenger. Not sure if the cash flow crunch is true or not.

No-one knows if that’s true and if it is, it’s down to the finance director and chairman to ease it find the money. We’ve hugely reduced our wage bill opex so I’m sure those savings can cover deferred transfer payments
