Fair enough. He can run, which as we are seeing week in week out is not going to happen with our MF.

If I remember the thread from on here, that balance is due 2025. Worth a punt but doubt they'd help

This is why I have said time and again that I would not give pep 1 US$ in January to spend - he needs to use what he has and IF ( Big fucking IF going on what we have seen so far this season ) he fucking survives this season and makes the CL then give him whatever he needs to rebuild for next season.

So IF he gets us 4th this season you'd give him unlimited funds but you wouldn't give him a penny now based on the last 8 years. Interesting.

Based on his panic buys' like' Nunes you mean ...No I wouldn't..and given his state of mind right now ( which is borderline mental) I 100% wouldn't give him any money.

So seeing as how the Nunes deal was between 2 league winning seasons why would you give him money if he comes 4th but not now.

One of a few but the question still remains why you'd give him money if he comes 4th but not the Jan after 4 in a row when the squad is depleted.

To be fair, there’s been some terrible signings.

Mendy
Nolito
Gomez
Phillips
Nunes
Torres
Angeliño
Bravo
Steffan

Thankfully we’ve got it right more often than not.

We made somewhere in the region of £30/35m profit

The thing this windows, if the rumors are true, then all of them will be unplanned transfers.

Usually those don't end well for us.

If you’re including profit then every single one of our kids we’ve sold has been brilliant, even selling Palmer.

As a signing he did nothing for us. I get what you’re saying though
