If all this "Plusvalenza case restrictions" are true, then why are we still Plusvalenza-ing ourselves to death? Mbangula, Savona, Weah, Costa. If we're broke, then why aren't we selling other dead weight and keeping the younger talents like any sane club would do? None of it makes any sense and I think some of this talk is deep cover for the fact we have no plan at all.

from a financial pov, it makes sense: sales generate instant income, while purchases are spread over the length of the contract. if you sell a good player for 10m and replace him with an equally good player for 10m on a 5 year contract, that's an instant 8m gain. then you can sell the 10m player you just bought next year, generate instant revenue, and get someone as a replacement, who'll be also sold in a year or two. again, this makes sense from a financial pov only

that's not team building though

i don't envy our managers one bit. jj became a mess to handle
