Yeah I'm talking actual sales and ignoring youth players.
Soldato
There must be an option to buy in there as well

I'm assuming it's a PSR trick. As I understand it obligations with no conditions go into the year the loan starts while ones with conditions go into the next year. That is why PSG keep signing players with the condition they don't get relegated (Mbappe, Ekitike)Is that real? The utter disrespect for that to be a condition of a Chelsea transfer
I've never heard of that and it certainly wouldn't be the case from a technical accounting pov (whether the PL/UEFA have separate rules on this I don't know) however it has dawned on me that Chelsea are currently under investigation for dodgy deals during the Abramovich era and that's coming to a head this season. They could be genuinely concerned about a massive points deduction/relegation.
Couple of strange last day moves in sterling and sancho. Sancho in particular for 25 million is ludicrous (less than Carvalho for example), i expect the 14th place addon is due to the expected big points deduction. Sterling is a weird one, he's an upgrade on some of their attackers but still doesn't really address the lack of a 'proper' striker - its right out of the guardiola playbook tho.

Don't think 25 million for Sancho is ludicrous unless you mean he isn't worth that , he is on very high wages till 2026 , difficult getting rid and with questionable attitude

Even with the wages I would have though you could stick another 5-10 on that. I remember when folks were discussing him in pre season and non man utd fans thought you could get 35ish for him (as opposed to some of yours saying 50).
I think you'll regret getting rid of McTominay, scored some very important goals for you last season off the bench, can't see where you've replaced that.
The untested Zirkzee, I guess.
I sort of agree though, United don't have many major goal threats, Rasmus (injury prone?) and Garnacho?

Ramses and Xerses? Divine power?
I recall Arsenal doing the same thing getting players out taking a loss , really no point keeping Sancho it's difficult to bargain when you have player with years on contract left on massive wages, McTominay would I have been happy to keep as backup on low wage never good enough to be starter but happy how ineos are going about business so far

I liked McSauce but he was a bang average footballer. Teams that aspire to compete for titles don't carry players like that even if they chip in the odd goal. The club did a nice video for him leaving which seems appropriate. I also hope he does well but I'm glad I won't be watching him week in week out at United. Whether he's been replaced or not is academic his only role was to get in the box late in matches and head ball out of our box.
I'm glad no one touched Toney, it was pretty clear when he did the Diary of a Ceo interview his attitude sucked. Almost every team in the league could have use for his skills but clearly their are red flags that even Chelsea couldn't ignore.
For him he get's a huge payday, I Salah must be licking his lips how big his weekly retirement wage will be with no transfer fee in 12 months.

Well this didnt age well. Doesnt seem like Ramsdale has made much difference in shipping goals
On a positive note though, doesn't sound like any of them were Ramsdale himself making errors, unlike McCarthy passing directly to the opposition
I think our transfer business has been good but nothing that special. We've done well to sell quite a few players and brought in some money for a change (€100m~). McTominay has chipped in quite a few goals but outside of that he's very limited and frustrating to watch. Sancho being gone is excellent news, he's a waste of space.
In terms of signings, now the dust has settled -
- Yoro - expensive, very young, injury a bit of a concern, might be amazing, but might not. Be a good 3-4 years before we really know.
- Ugarte - fairly established and a good level of experience, a proper aggressive mobile ball winner, a fairly safe bet I would say. Still, £40m+ for a player PSG didn't really want - but I think he'll be good.
- Zirkzee - reasonable price, very few top strikers around, worth the gamble, has looked alright so far.
- De Ligt & Mazraoui - this is more of previous regime style signing I think, both players ETH knows specifically, but weren't really wanted at Bayern. It will all come down to De Ligt's fitness, he's a great centre back, and still only 25.
I think we have the squad to push for top 4 and win the EL, and that has to be the target - assuming the players are coached well and respond to the manager, it's very much his squad now. Still huge question marks in that area.

Pompey and Southampton seem to be competing today for who can let in more, not a good day for the Hampshire south coast today !On a positive note though, doesn't sound like any of them were Ramsdale himself making errors, unlike McCarthy passing directly to the opposition
