Are we under pressure with wages under FIFA rules, do we need to sell some high earners before we can sign certain players? I assume the worry is we buy 4/ 5 players and then can't move on Lukaku, Pogba and Sanchez etc for a decent price.

We have pretty much maxed out our wage budget under FFP. Meaning if we increase it too much this summer we will fall foul to sanctions. Such as a fine or a ban from European competition.

The issue is that we might have to settle some contacts to get those players off the books. That would eat into an already stretched wage budget.

So we will need to sell some big earners if we want to bring in more big earners. The problem is we have some fairly average players on big wages, meaning they are hard to get off the wage bill.

Nope, that's not how rumours work. Once you have a verified source it is no longer a rumour but a fact.

i.e. I heard a rumour the Earth orbits the sun. Not a rumour but a fact.

However, I heard that Ed007 secretly sleeps in Rangers pyjamas. Rumour until someone is brave enough to venture into his bedroom at night. 😂.

{Ed033's Note - I heard a rumour that the Blue Marble is not a true representation of the Earth. :)
