Apologies - my bad

Nicolas Pepe But its Sport Witness - is that allowed? Obligatory YouTube

Regarding the point of promoted sides, you might want to read this (bit old, but still relevant?) http://www.financialfairplay.co.uk/latest-news/premier-league-update-their-ffp-rules Specifically this bit It is interesting to note that the rules allow a newly promoted club to immediately increase wages to £67m if they wish. So we could, in theory, see a club like Brighton increase their wages from somewhere around £18m (excluding promotion bonuses) to £67m over the summer. (Told you it was old, as it quotes Brighton as coming up!)

Must confess to be quite ignorant of the implications of wage rises. This link (could be relevant?) https://www.totalsportek.com/money/english-premier-league-wage-bills-club-by-club/ shows a staggering rise during this period but assume it relates to THAT season. 2015-16 2016-17 If the 16-17 numbers are correct, then we cannot increase wages to more than 70m(ish) sorry if being a dumb a55/it’s been mentioned before, just trying to understand the implications on transfers (in and out)

Or we use Pereira as a wing back to supplement some of the creative load. Admittedly, Maddison + Pereira + Chilwell is a little unwhelming, but add one creative mid and things look brighter

Personally I don`t think replacing Mahrez is either possible nor likely. Too much creative reliance on one man was possible during the perfect storm season, but we need to spread the load to multiple players such as Maddison and ideally 2 others. This is perhaps Perriera as a wing back ( and Chilwell??), and maybe Silva, but also with a winger such as Jahanbakhsh or even another AM. Otherwise, shutdown Mahrez (or his replacement) and we become toothless.
