The talk of "youth" sounds like we are persisting with DCL and Lookman next season.
Gomes and Zouma alone will cost £45-50 million and thats just standing still
We need to then bring in a CF, RW, RB and CM
Realistically we need to spend about £120-150 million which I doubt Moshiri will finance.
Tosun
Bolasie
Schnerderlin
Mirallas
Walcott
Vlasic
Sandro
Besic
McCarthy
Williams
Martina
All out please to help fund transfers

It isn’t just the youth we already have but the strategy of recruiting and investing in young players as an overall strategy going forward
This was already stated by Moshiri a couple of months ago so it is no real surprise, just further confirmation of a sustainable pursuit of success.

We should have plenty to improve the squad next season.
Walcott, Tosun, Bolasie, Snides get sold, and sales should bring in close to 60 million. With our increased revenue generation, reduced wages as well, and TV revenue, we should have another 40 million on top of that to spend. With 100 million, the key is Brands. Get a top striker for 45 million, sign Gomes on a permanent at 20 million, get another Digne type player at RB for 18 million, and you still have 17 million to sign one more after improving 2 key positions. Plus, with Gueye likely to be sold in the summer for 30 million, and Onyekuru also likely to either come and improve the squad, or be sold for another 15 million, we then would be able to grab a good defensive mid for 25 million, and pay close to 35 million for a top winger, or CB.
We will have cash, and we will have plenty of players to sell. Money wont be the issue, the issue will purely be whether Brands can identify the right players, unlike his predecessor. Buy 4 players very well every season, and you can easily sell one at a profit to finance the other 3. The difference between us and teams like Spurs and Chelsea for the last 5 seasons(except for Chelseas last window)have been almost purely the work of the scouting departments.

Are you factoring wages into this putative spending spree?
Our wage bill is currently our major fiscal limitation.
We will make signings ,but on younger players whose wage demands will be commensurately much lower than players in their prime.
If we sold Walcott, Tosun, Bolaise and Schnderlin for 60 mill, we would make a loss of five million.

How have you calculated this?

If we clear at least 60 million off the books, and with the same amount of loans we have going on right now, yes, wages will be 20-30 million lower than they were last season, and probably a little less than this season.
Walcott 20m - 130k a week - 23.6m wages - 3.5 years - 43.6m - Cost per year - 12.4m - 18months
Tosun 27m - 80k a week - 18.7m - 4.5 years - 45.45m - Cost per year - 10.10m - 3 years
Bolasie 25m - 80k a week - 20.8m - 5 years - 45.8m - Cost per year - 9.16 - 2 years
Schneiderlin 24m - 120k a week - 28m - 4.5 years - 52.08m - cost per year - 11.5m - 2 years
So selling any of them for a book profit isnt an issue, I mean as long as we got above 15m for each 1, the issue is that nobody will ever match their wages.
Those 4 players, if they see out their contract and ignoring any loan fees or wages % we may have got/had, will cost us a staggering 186m.

Not sure I follow. After amortization, we’d have pretty significant book gains. I also don’t see us getting 60M for those 4. Maybe 45M.

Zaha, Upamecano, Ndombele, Doucoure are all at least 50M each.

We'll be lucky to be able to shift any of those players, let alone for 60m.
Our wages are crippling us and we'll find it hard to shift players in the summer. Anyone expecting significant spending in the summer is being wildly optimistic imo.
Aye!!! Wages will have gone up this season compared to last season.
But as you can see as above everyone is coming up with a different amortization figure.
I think its all relevent really, the amortization and wages saved when weighing up a deal. I tend not to bring the wages into it on here, as it makes it that bit more complex after amortization but you are of course correct its over all part of it but not mutually exclusive, that one or the other can be excluded. id say its a case by case basis.
