I once invented a time machine, a bit worried about getting lost in time and space I set it to take me 2 minutes into the future. Unfortunately it took me 2 minutes to get there, when I opened the door with a big ‘tadaa’ people laughed and mocked me. But I knew it had worked.

More often than not, those £20m players don’t have the same impact on the first team. The difference also last season was that we was in desperate need of a right back and creative midfielder/ number 10. I don’t think the need is as urgent this season and I think we only possibly need one player for the first team, which is a Tielemans or similar player. No it’s not urgent if you are happy making up the numbers. If we bring in one player you can kiss goodbye to any top six challenge. The wingers simply do not score or create enough and should Vardy get injured or time catches up we are a bottom half team. 2

I see one problem with this. First off you need someone to be interested in Gray or any players your happy to sell. Still amazes me how people on here talk about moving players on. Its not football manager or fifa. Also the wages we pay makes it even harder to move players on. 2

Hence why I mentioned Gray and not some of the other players. I’m pretty sure he would be a player that would interest a few clubs and I don’t think he’s on a crazy salary. So no need to be amazed about that comment. 1

Sides trying to get into the top six don’t sell their best players.

Viva Posted 25 May 2019 Posted 25 May 2019 They received a great fee and have the ability to attract top players in return like Van Dijk and Alisson. We certainly can’t.

Nickfosse Posted 25 May 2019 Posted 25 May 2019 (edited) Arsenal sold Sanchez. There’s three examples of clubs that currently sit in the top 6 who sold their best player yet still managed a top 6 finish. I don’t agree that trading your better players for big money necessarily means you are shooting yourself in the foot. Everybody keeps quoting Southampton but there are other examples. We sold one of the most gifted players that ever played for us last summer, yet acquired Pereira and Maddison and ended up with more points that when we had Riyad. In turn Norwich sold their best player, Maddison and their fans were anticipating a car crash season as a result and they ended up winning the league. Of course, if you do trade your very best players for big money, the emphasis is then on your recruitment, but it doesn’t naturally follow that it can’t lead to success.

Really because the Belgian press fella says Tielemans is happy to sign if we can afford the fee. Tielemans is more important IMO than Maguire, in terms of pushing on from last season. 3

So never try and replace any player ever then because they might not be good enough and we might waste out money.

Gubbins Posted 25 May 2019 Posted 25 May 2019 2 hours ago, Viva said: Sides trying to get into the top six don’t sell their best players. Maguire is in no way one of our best players. This is why selling him if we get offered a crazy fee is something we should definitely do. 2

Come on, you’ve got to do better than that. It’s getting boring now anyway. I don’t like weakening our team if we don’t have to. Selling Maguire weakens the team. None of us know how much money we have to spend if we sell him or not anyway.

That is based purely on rep rather than ability though. Arsenal, Man Utd and Bournemouths defences would not be any more solid with him in them.

Not if you can use the money wisely, and buy a 2-3 good players. You could argue that selling Mahrez weakened us, but allowed us to sign Maddison and Riccardo which has actually made us a stronger all round team. It's about assessing the deal, if we get offered £75m or more it's a no brainier. 3
