Alex 30260 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I don't think it's a unique standpoint, I just remember adios making a comment along those lines. Obviously you saying it too, Ant, only serves to add gravitas to the sentiment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) If Ashley sells Mitrovic or Shelvey he'll offset the £11.4 million Rafa spent in the summer. Edited January 11, 2018 by trooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how you seem to be both surprised and totally sick of it at the same time. I've been thinking that too To save any confusion @trooper & @Andrew just start from what we can logically deduce from what we know.. 1. "Rafa doesn't know his transfer budget" = THERE IS NO FUCKIN TRANSFER BUDGET 2. "Rafa has to sell to buy" = SEE 1 ABOVE Hope this helps x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12737 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 She’s brokered Middle Eastern business deals before. If she can handle the sale of weapons on the black market to homicidal sociopaths, she can deal with Mike Ashley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Rafa on budget: “We are playing with a list of names. So we will see how close we can go.” Rafa on injuries: "Gamez, Lejeune & Mitro are not available, but Mbemba & Elliot are available. Lascelles is also fit, which is important for us because he is our captain & our leader" Rafa asked if frustrated: “We will do our best until the last day.” Rafa on Jan 20 deadline: “I still have confidence what we do what we have to do. We are talking to agents and people who give us options. I concentrate on games" Rafa on self-imposed January 20th deadline: "Still I have confidence that we can do what we have to do. But I can only concentrate on the game & then hope it happens. If the team is doing well, it easier for everyone, including the owner, so if we can sign players we must" Rafa: "We are not talking about selling anyone who can make a difference to our teams. People are coming to us asking for players, but only on loan. It is only serious if we want to buy. We are not interested in loan, we would want money & replacements" Rafa on selling to relegation rivals (asked about Shelvey): "We do not want to sell players who are playing already. It would cost a lot of money to replace them in January, so we are not looking to sell them. We want to sign players as we are short in some areas" Rafa: "Carlos is a good manager with a good record against us, but hopefully we end that" Rafa: “We have to move players because we need positions in the squad. But we don’t have to sell to buy. If players go it will be because we have replacements.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
