If we got 30M for Fellaini should we get ourselves straight?

[bluenorthwarrior]

or we could spend the £25 odd million on three top players like mignnolet, fer and benteke with a bit left over to try and challenge for champions league over the coming years which will help wipe our debt in a better way

Only two obstacles to this - firstly benteke alone will go for close to 25M this summer and all three would cost double this, secondly no guarantee three players will get us CL - our squad issues to do this are far deeper than that. City, utd, chelsea, arse, spurs all better than us and will spend twice that tbis summer and unfortunately the rs look like a team again and will also throw money at it.

We should ask for it in 1p pieces and make Neville count it.

Depends.

Is it 30mil in Moyes hands? Then sure we would have some quality bargain players.

But Moyes isnt going to be here. So 30 mil? No. Not happening even if we get every penny to spend and dont pay the banks.

What's not happening because Moyes won't be here?

No, we should buy three billion penny jellies and give them out matchdays to kids so we get the next generation of fans to support us.

Not a bad idea. We need something to lure them in.

If the jellies are to be handed out from the back of a dirty white van though I'm out. Bad experience as a youngster - didn't even get any sweeties out of it.

 

[toffeejack]

Oh TJ!

belgians lads.

with regards to OP, i doubt benteke would cost £25m alone, they only bought him for £7m and are a struggling team. if they got relegated there is no way they could get £25m. Arsenal hardly ever spend money, and spurs and RS will lose their best players - no guarantee they'll spend it wisely.

yeah, i know, it is all a pipe dream, not really arsed any more - just want to have some optimism

So, we would still be employing him...

 

[steken1]

He's got 86 years left on his deal anyway. This way he'd be useful.

Lure them in?

If there was no sweets, then this is badly YEWTREE.

I'd take de bruyne, marin or courtois

probably take less than 20 to get courtois in exchange

Like your thinking but i dont think they'd let Courtois go, they see him as Cech's long term replacement!. I'd take either de Bruyne or Marin off of them and Lukaku on loan + cash for Fellaini, i really would.

But like some have said, what cash we bring in from sales needs to go back into the squad and try to build for a push towards the champions league!.

The money from the new TV deal will help to service our debts for a number of years and really should help to reduce it.

 

[FTY]

I think we've already got a replacement for Fellaini. But the money definately HAS to go on the team. Or else we're actually ****ed.

 

[Azzurri]

We'd get 15m.

Then we'd all be furious that the ****e paid 20m a pop for Downing and Henderson.

We're a small club, and he doesn't have the English premium price like Lescott and Rooney had.

Eeeeerrrrrm no.
