i think we will have 2 of the 3... they are interchangeablePersonally believe we will not see Ndombele, Lo Celso and Eriksen in the same team next season.
If CE stays, we will still try to finalise both (cross fingers and all that)
Let's say the budget for last summer was £30m, same as it was the summer the we bought Sissoko. Then chuck in all of the CL money from this season, another £100m, brings us to £130m.Wow, how would we fund both and a RB if Eriksen stays? CL money and not spending last summer is one thing, but this would put us in the United/City levels of net spend
That seems... Expensive? We must be offloading a lot of deadwood if that's the case, seeing as that would be near 140m already and that's not even considering a RB or any other transferIf CE stays, we will still try to finalise both (cross fingers and all that)

the ndombele and lo celso threads are neck and neck on page numbers (54).
there MUST be something in these rumours!

Then £10m for Dembele, £25m for Toby, £40m for Aurier and Trippier combined, £10m for Janssen and GKN, and another £10-15m for CCV and Onomah who do not seem likely to make it with us.
Add to that Llorente, Vorm, and Wanyama all let go on free transfers freeing up wages. If we buy Lo Celso and keep Eriksen, you have to assume that Lamela is on his way out, so another £20-30m.
That'd give us in the £225-250m range to work with plus a load of leeway on the wage budget. Even accounting for £140m on Ndombele and Lo Celso, we'd have circa £100m left over for Sessegnon, a RB, and whatever other signings are deemed necessary.
We'd probably have to dip into the "young and promising but affordably priced" market for those other signings, but the financials seem workable. It's mostly getting all of that business done that seems impossible, not the potential finances involved IMO.
Wow that would be some set of midfielders.
Sissoko ndombele winks
Lo celso eriksen dele.
Keep dier sell wanyama and Lamela and loan skipp.

I have pretty much the same calcs as you do - though I had Dier out (£40m) instead of Lamela.Let's say the budget for last summer was £30m, same as it was the summer the we bought Sissoko. Then chuck in all of the CL money from this season, another £100m, brings us to £130m.

In fairness I have no fucking clue what formation we were using this season just gone too.I can’t for the life of me work out what formation we are playing next season !
FFS, I used to like Cheerios!Is Flashspur always this aggro or did someone just piss in his cheerios this morning?
I just hope that if CE goes then we bring those plus another creative AM/CM.
