How to raise funds to bring in 2/ 3 quality players in Jaunary. Sell all of the following for a cut price deal of around 5 million each. Meslier, Wober, Joesph, Gelhardt, Harrison, Arronson, Piroe and whatever we can get for schmidt. That's 35 odd million and a huge saving on wasted wages. Bring back Soloman on loan and get an attacking midfielder and a striker.

Harrison unlikely to go due to wage demands. we're probably still paying for some of those (Aaronson I imagine, possibly Piroe) so its not as simple as just dropping the price or we take PSR losses.

You can't "just sell" players; they are in contract and so remain at the club, playing or otherwise, unless someone comes in and makes an offer that works for the club and the respective player.
If I am being paid £50K a week [£100K a week for some], then I am not going to forfeit my contract unless someone comes in and offers more or near with game time.
Like Aft says above, you can't just accept the losses because that messes up the PSR calculations and that in itself impacts bringing new players in.

£90k a week for JH. Is anyone likely to offer him that elsewhere?

Why we turned down £25 million from Leicester I think it was I will never understand.
Same goes for Meslier. £16 million offer not accepted.
That’s some coin to buy at least one top notch addition and probably two.
This board has a lot to learn.

Cool the jets lads, I was only trying to say I'd love to just get rid of the players who have no future with us. By offering a lower price of 5 million, the buying clubs might be willing the pay the wages these are on, fair enough about Harrison's but the rest wouldn't out of reach for most top European leagues.

I hear Haaland has fallen out with pep and is up for sale cut price 40 mil. ??.

Most of these players will likely be surplus to requirements and the likely option for most of them will be loan outs with the option to buy. I can’t see any quick profit making sales with any of them. Like Alf mentioned the profit and sustainability will be a issue otherwise as they will very likely be sold for a loss than a profit.
