Heres one, would you rather keep Vuskovic and Bergval in the hope they fulfil their potential but it may takes years and we could have a few more poor seasons or do you take £100m+ combined to out towards now players who could help us fight for a top 5 place straight away?
 
Well to me it's hilarious it's Brighton and Forest, two clubs who were determined to fudge us (MGW and JVH) and now want something from us.

Lesson to be learned there for them .. maybe

I think we over play it TBH, its an alpha sport/industry where negotiations are key. People will act in their own interests and are allowed to, in fact I take my hat off slightly to anyone that does, even to our detriment, because thats what they should be doing for their club. No club should be rolling over after a belly rub because its good old Spurs and neither should we.

Its business, take the emotion out of it. If they want something we have and are prepared to pay the take their money.

I'd take the right now because I don't know if I believe either will actually get to the level that has been suggested (more so Bergvall). Vuskovic I honestly just haven't watched enough to really judge, but I just note most of the hype in relation to him comes from the goals he scores rather than the defending he does.

Whatever our saviour wants.

Worth understanding that in the PSR era it’s more about the profit you make from a transfer fee than the actual amount. As an example if we sold Solanke now for £30M its basically a zero gain form a PSR perspective. But Bergvall & Vuskovic will be 90% profit.

Take the money.

Neither came through the academy so my connection to both is limited. Plus there is no certainty that either will fulfill the potential we fans have assigned them. They would need to be Hoddle or King mk.2 to do that and it’s almost guaranteed they won’t hit those heights.

Get the £100m from selling Danso, Bentancur and Solanke instead

We need to open the pathways and you do that by having Vuskovic 4th CB, Bergvall 4th CM and Lanshear 2nd CF

We would struggle to get £65M from those 3. But it also has to take in to consideration the amortization for PSR.

Danso cost us about £25M when you include the loan fee. We would still have £15M on the books for him. So if we sold him for £30M it would only be £15M profit.

Solanke was about £55M and we still have £33M on the book. We would struggle to get much more than that for him. Bentancur would be mostly profit now. But you are looking at maybe £25M you could actually go out and spend.

Sell some more Klimt and Bacon then too
 
Johstone and Lewis raised £200m last week by flogging some paintings, including some by Klimt and Francis Bacon. They were short on cash, so its whats paying for Tonali and Fernandes

Don’t think it is tbh.

But either way. Thats not really all that relevant to PSR. We need to be selling players that have been at the club for 4+ seasons or for significantly more than we paid for them.

Gallagher, Tel, Danso, Odobert, Maddison, Kulusevski, Dragusin, Vicario. We sell any of these were not really getting much out of it at this point. That’s not to say we shouldn’t. But its not raising major funds to reinvest.
