Llorente now seems to have been sold?

Different thread methinks, and whatever, if true good riddance.

Compare the team to end of last season. It's worse.
Even IF we bring a couple of good players in it is already a bit late for preseason planning.
Every season we get it wrong.

If we can properly replace Bamford with someone who can reliably score when needed that would be a big step forward.

Olise has left Palace for a reported 60m to that should start the bidding for Summerville.

Suspect not much will happen until after the Euros as the teams with the deepest pockets are likely to be watching that to see if they should change their plans.

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Definitely looking like we are ‘cleaning house’ and clearing out players not needed/wanted.

Cresswell and Llorente both now gone. Klaessan too with Roca.

Lots of rumours that Firpo, Wober and Rasmus will follow. Suspect Summerville will go and probably Gnonto too for big amounts of profit.

No excuses then about not being able to sign players and rebuild - it will all be down to the board and DF then.

Like the two people we have heading up player recruitment both seem to have good reputations and seem well respected within the game.

Paying the price for Farke fecking it up last season , so the 49ers will be expecting promotion with a weaker side and the same man in charge.

Unforgivable we did not go up last season with that squad.

may go down as one of the biggest bottle jobs in the history of the championship. Another unwanted "achievement" for us.

Another baffling transfer window so far. We have got rid or / lost 13 and, as far as I can tell, we have only signed Rodon who we had on loan anyway, another goalkeeper, a 14 year-old and someone in the backroom staff.

I don't understand it at all. I do understand it might just be clickbait but I've seem some rather specific stories on Summerville, Gnonto (Italy), Rutter (Brighton), Kamara (Rennes). It's not like we are destitute or owned by Bates anymore. None of these listed are replaceable by who we have in the current squad.

No one seems interested in Bamford or Piroe which would have been 2 I wouldn't have minded going

We sold Gray to service some of the transfer deal payments required by the end of June/July, nothing to do with PSR (Thanks for the figurework MT). The management haven't the remotest idea as to how to manage the clubs cashflow demands, despite them being known well in advance and any Finance director worth their money would have known what was required before the opening of the Winter transfer window.

They have launched the much anticipated fire sale in order to shrink the paybill as much as possible, knowing that the return of the likes of Aaronsson, Kristensen, Wober etc etc would have a serious impact on the clubs ability to actually pay its way.

The stories swirling around Summerville, Gnonto, Rutter, Meslier, Kamara and most recently Struijk might well be largely clickbait, but we all know that the first two of that clan were keen to depart when we were relegated and I suspect would still like to depart if the price (personal terms to the player, nothing to do with what LUFC wants) was right, so the departures will continue (in fact my original estimate of numbers leaving was under by some margin!).

And the lack of interest in Bamford and Piroe, the last 5 words of your last sentence says it all.
