Would only consider selling Maddison if a MGW level AM was coming in.

And I would say, if we are serious then it’s a no brainer

We can’t spend infinite money.

Isn’t today the mythical PSR deadline for some clubs? Seem to recall reading on here Spammers would ideally sell today to help them with their PSR? Or am I completely amiss

I don't think it's quite that clear cut. Last year Kudus wasn't announced till 10 July, but things were in place enough behind the scenes that he went through West Ham's books for their 2024/25 financial year still.

From what I understand Saudi Sportswashing Machine have more of an issue for the 25-26 season so need to sell by June 30. West Ham have more of an concern for next season 26-27.

So if one of these transfers is going to be resolved it’s Tonali.

I very much doubt Spurs would have dropped the Kinsky new contract story if there was a story as big as Tonali joining. It wouldn't be fair to the young keeper.

what a bad year for a squad overhaul - Emirates Marketing Project, man u, chelseal, liverpool and us changing managers and seeking new players. (also great year for arsenal to stumble into winning the league). transfer fee inflation for sure.

i know we have money to blow, but I wish we would not join in the bidding wars, because it feels like its going to bite us sometime down the road. yes invest more but sustainably too.

 

[metalgear]

OK this one is doable, right?

Why would they impact one another?

Wouldn’t be against it but would rather back Lankshear & Tel. We’re not selling Solanke.

Just a marketing / comms tactic. Never give your customers 2 of your feel good stories in a single day and then nothing for a week. Space them out to create the buzz.

He's better than both. Lankshear night have a chance of matching him but Tel won't.

 

[billyiddo]

Balogun has looked poor at PL level do not want him at all

They are born 3 weeks apart.

He has only played 2 premier league games….

Must be getting him mixed up.with someone, i thought he had a spell at Palace on loan?

[Raziel]

ok, kudus to club (if as being reported), we have got Fernandes

- Robertson, JVH, Senesi, Dubravka and extending Porro & Kinsky were all good/really moves but really nothing we haven't done before (yes, not as early or as many)
- Going head to head against United and winning for a player with money is new.

Lets see if Tonali really is next
