This is based purely on figures in my head but IF we sell Eddie Ajer Christie Ntcham Julien and Duffy El noussi Laxalt return to their clubs to free up wages that should give us AT LEAST 50 million in transfers (20 eddie, 12 Ajer, 10 christie, ntcham 4, Julien 6) how much would we expect the new manager to get for the rebuild? Considering the cost of no fans and a poor season on every front i don't expect them to get anywhere near the 50 but would hope at least 30 million would be available. I really hope we sign 6 players at around 5 mill rather than blowing lots of it on average players for cheap. Then promote a few players from the youth to make up the numbers.

Doesnt matter how much we get . if lawell picks the incoming new players 90 plus percent will be duds if the track record continues. 6m of it could be about to be wasted on laxalt.

Dont think Laxalt is worth the 6 million but he's not a bad signing he's had a few excellent games and once he can speak English etc his game could improve. I do hope at the end of the year Lawell steps down and i do think its time for a change but its not Lawells job to spot players that's Hammonds remit, granted Lawell tends to choose the cheaper option but he doesn't pick the players to choose from.

There are stories all over the MSM today about players leaving - like Eddy for a bargain £25 and although we could possibly sell four or five in this window, the ones quoted are all self-isolating.
We need a couple in the door immediately, as we have no strikers and are really struggling for a decent 'keeper and centre back.
As far as Laxalt goes btw, I would not pursue a perm deal as he gives away far too many free kicks and never cuts out crosses.

How much would Duffy cost to buy? The quality of the player is not always representative of his cost.
More important that the scouting is good. not really happening.
