Like your workings! Certainly gives me a bit more positivity 🙂

For starters there’s Mkhitaryan and Elneny. They could probably bring in £20mm between them.

Ozil I think will be moved on, perhaps another £10mm [if we’re lucky] – without his wages you could easily have trebled that.

AMN, I agree doesn’t seem to be in favour – £15mm-£20mm [Transfermarkt have him at £16.2mm].

The centre-back conundrum is a real head scratcher. Mustafi suddenly seems to be playing well and if he’d been more consistent over the last 18 months you’d probably not be thinking of selling him. If you did, I’d now guess you could get £20mm [£35mm that we apparently paid for him was always ridiculous].

Rob Holding likewise hasn’t set the World alight this season. I appreciate he’s had his injury problems. He could be a candidate for the push – £10mm [?]

Then there are Mavropanos [£2.5mm] and Sokratis [Transfermarkt again have him at £16.2mm]. Sokratis isn’t getting any younger. The former isn’t getting any better.

I’d expect two of those plus Mavropanos to go, so say another £30mm being conservative.

That all adds up to around £80mm.

Either Auba or Lacazette will be sold – economics – let’s say £40mm. Good proven strikers aren’t growing on trees these days.

[Guandouezi I think has just had too much playing time for one so young. He needs a little pressure to be taken off and time to develop.]

Add to that the extra injection of cash from the Adidias deal and we could be north of £150mm.

Okay, so there are a few amounts to off-set – the latest installment on Pepe [circa £15mm] and do we make Danny Ceballos’s move permanent [?]

Anyway, a healthy enough budget even if we do blow £50mm on Upamecano.

One thing we can bank on is that Silent Stan’s long pockets and short arms will need to be factored in!

Nothing like a game of FIFAPro on a Saturday morning!
