Jorge Cuenca to join Marco Silva at Benfica

[iansthailand]

We can't afford to sell anyone without replacing them, and even then we need to add to certain positions.

I can only think this rumour is wrong because it makes absolutely no sense.

To be honest, with PSR we can't afford to buy many players without making at least one medium-sized sale every season. If I'm the new manager/Khan I'd try and sell the players with the highest wages for some profit and replace them with, hopefully, someone of similar quality for less wages.

PSR is dead long live SCR until the big clubs find some other option to fill their all ready full coffers.

Backward step think Anderson should be sold first,also will Iwobi be next to go with Silva?

Cuenca doesn't really fit the high wage profile, and we'd need to replace him if we sold him. It'd be a strange way to kick off the summer. Much better to sell Bassey for big bucks and challenge Cuenca to step up.

I don't think Bassey is on very much. I think our top earners were Leno, Raul, Chuk, Andersen and Iwobi. According to https://www.spotrac.com/epl/fulham-fc/payroll Bassey is on £45k/week. Raul is leaving, we're no longer buying Chuk and Leno is on £130k/week. If we sell Leno and replace with someone on £50k or something we'd have much more room in PSR. I don't think we need to be selling any defenders, but if there was one to sell it would be Andersen who's on £90k/week.

Even if Bassey isn't on a lot, he'd command a higher fee and I don't think the delta between him and Cuenca is that high. Anyway I'd definitely do it that way round.. seems to make a lot more sense.

Cuenca staying...

Didn't TK explicitly state the other day that we have had zero contact about Cuenca?

I like him, he's a sold defender. Him and Diop deserve more than bench warming but great back ups to have.
