What can we reasonably raise from young and fringe players?

Bailey £25m (plus add-ons to £30m at least you'd hope, as if he gets firing, he's an asset to any team)
KK Hayden £5m (? With add-ons to £8m?)
Ned the Serb (£12m pre-agreed with Leipzig, is that right?)
Iling Jr £7m ?
Buendia £20m? From Leverkusen to Leeds, the poor bastard
The Baron £18m (with add-ons to £23m)? Can't see a Spanish side being able to afford more than that
Louie Barry £10m (with add-ons to £15m)

£100m-odd excluding add-ons without any key departures.

Taking young and hungry to whole new level. We’ve just signed a 6 year old Gambian lad.

If United can sign Delap, Cunha and Mbueno without any European football and over a billion of debt the world has gone mad
They'll probably flog £200 mills worth to be able to.

Have they got that much?   rashford , anthony and Garnacho would be about 100 I suppose .
I'd say the best part of £130 for those 3. Throw in Sancho, Onana, Casemiro, Hoijlund or Zirkzee and maybe even Mainoo and you're looking at a fair whack.

Enzo could be the replacement for / alternative to kamara. Think he deserves a season at least, and his sale isn't going to make or break things.

I don’t think they’ll be getting much for 73 year old Casemiro or Hojlund, who seems to be allergic to goals.

Given we are not in the CL, I would take Garnacho off them vs Rashford.

He’s a horrible little whingeing twat that thinks he’s a lot better than what he is, perching on advertising hoardings pretending he’s Ronaldinho like an entitled prick

So would i
It would be nice to have a scutty little fucker that everyone hates. A bit like Gordon.
Scutty but effective

Based on players who seem out of favour I think it's likely Mings, possibly Digne, Bailey, Buendia could all go. Even McGinn as he is getting on. That would clear a lot of wages.

Saying some have said there was no leadership yesterday, selling Mings and McGinn probably not the way to go.

Both very effective on their day and offer a lot on and off the pitch. I’d be sad to see either go.

That's about £14m off the annual wages bill and we include what Kortney Hause and Robin Olsen we're on, then we're at roughly £17m.

Yep, I'd quite like to see him given a chance as well tbh.

Yes, but you’re looking at massive crystallised losses for the ones they’ve paid fees for.

Great list. We’d be in a good position if we could somehow add Coutinho and Dendonker to those departures.

I think I’d take Enzo off it though.

Based on what they've done in their careers so far, who is giving us nearly £15m for Louie Barry and why are we only getting £7m for Iling-Junior?
