Would we sell Mitro to Villa

[The Swan]

It appears as if the Villa fans would like to buy Mitro. If this is the case would we sell and if we did sell what would be the asking price.

[Twig]

Sell him because we are so well stocked with strikers?  No way.

[Mr K.Dilkington]

They wouldn't be able to afford another £30/40 mil investment again like with Wesley. They'd be on his back so quickly with a price tag like that and the playstyle he has.

[HV71]

No way. End of.

[filham]

We don't want to lose him
They couldn't afford him
If he wanted to go he could do better than Villa.

[Fulham 442]

We don't want to lose him
They couldn't afford him
If he wanted to go he could do better than Villa.

Spot on!

[grandad]

Every fan of every club would want to sign Mitro. Not going to happen. Any asking price would have to be in excess of £80 mil.

No,

And he wouldn't want to go there because they are likely to be back in the Championship next season.

We have to sell players at the end of the season, every offer must be considered. If the plan next season is the same team without the loan players then we will need another plan.

How about we just re-loan the loan players?

Parchuate Payments will fall by £10m next season and we won't have £24m in player sales profit. Next season, we will be living of the profit of Fabri, Seri, Anguiisaa and someone else probably, thats a large cut.

[AnOldBrownie]

No.  If I had an extra 1000 to bet on it (and no one would take the bet) I'd do it right now.

He's not going to Villa.

I don't think it beyond the realm of possibility that we could sell Anguissa, Fabri, Seri and MLM for a combined £50m this summer which I suspect, assuming an aggregate book value of c £25m, would almost offset the things you mention.

But in any case, these analyses assume that over the rolling three-year period up to the end of this season, we've incurred the maximum permitted losses (c £60m). I think that questionable, in particular because I doubt we incurred a big (if any) loss in the PL last season.

The reality is there are just too many unknowns to make assertions like "We have to sell players at the end of the season" with much conviction.

True, we will know a lot more around 6th April when the accounts come out. We know some of signing had big transfer fees, but we are totally guessing at wages or at least relying on agent rumours. It will be interesting, he could write off a lot of the transfers fees to book value zero and maybe make a huge profit on Fabri and Seri when sold.

My guess for 18/19 is

Revenue £120m
Wages £80m
Transfers out £4m
Transfers in £30m (with remainder accounted for over the next few seasons)

Same instead of transfers in "amortisation of new players £30m", plus amortisation/impairment of players signed before 30th June 2018 of £18m. Loss for 19/20 season around £16m.

Not for me. I think Championship is his level. We need one more forward and I hope his has top flight experience and goals. Unlikely to find them in January, though.

[Statto]

I think Championship is his level.

Pretty certain that in about six months from now, you'll be in the Championship and he'll be playing in the PL (admittedly it may not be for us)

[Fulhamfan666]

No. Not to them.
