It's clear we have problems with money before anything else, you can believe whatever the board says but reality is different. This winter we had Guehi available for peanuts and didn't sign him, when he would be a massive addition for second half of the season.
Guehi gets 18 million + bonus per year, he would be one of our top earner. Konate surely wants same amount of money. Do you think we would afford this?
With wages we are currently at 54% of revenue. We needed many years to get there, and we cannot go up on this measure. 50-55% is very healthy.

If we offload some of the deadwood then it would probably become easier

Lewandowski, Araujo, Mats. If club is serious all gone in the summer.

No they cannot offload araujo or Mats because nobody wants to pay their salary. Lewandowski is needed but on low wages.

We have to pay back our debts, that's why our FFP margin is so low. We're not a billionaire's toy like all the English clubs, so we have to be careful and things should never go back to the Barto days with the transfers.

FFP and not having liquidity are two very different things, shame you are unable to grasp simple facts

Further inability to grasp facts - Guehi ws not available for peanuts, not sure what planet you live on but on planet earth he was acquired for £20 million and £300k weekly wages

Free :bash:

As bad as both mats and Araujo have been we should have the ability to sell them even now. I'm sure serie a clubs would be interesed in both at low prices. Araujo is a physical beast and for sides that don't rely on possesion he might turn out very good. Mats is also good for lower level games. Lewandowski is not needed, this should be his last season

It's actually you who is unable to grasp that this is basically same shit. I know a club like Barça has plenty money but what does it matter when we can't spend. There is not big difference between ffp not allowing you to sign a player and not having the money to sign him. You are not getting him either way. It feels kinda ridiculous discussing this but you keep bringing up the same stuff. Next time I will say "ffp doesn't allow us to sign Schlotterbeck" instead of "we can't afford Schlotterbeck", if it means so much to you.

Its not easy just to sell/free players if happy to stay.

Folk love to point to Real but they have had a ton of players on contracts that cant get rid of.
 

Don Juan Laporta Estruch

Basta yaaaaaaa, Cabron ! y Bona nit 🥂
Think he is being overrated a fair bit because he is left footed and can play a pretty pass now and again. Bit like ....... Saddam Huijsen, whose myth didn't take too long to break.

Saw him in patches against Tottenham midweek and he was absolutely horrendous.
