Varane is the Hayden replacement, and Colback is no spring chicken.
I knew we would not sign Hayden, he's too old for the money he's on. No resale value despite his skills. That would have been like a JoJo signing, good for one, maybe two seasons and then worth nothing.
We need players to sell on, as we do not know which will be a selling success (Eze, Armstrong) or a failure (Dozzell, Dickie, Richards). We need to buy several of them cheap and hope some of them come off.
If we only have a few, and they fail (injured, not as good as we thought), then we are screwed with no sales and will drop down the divisions.
With Varane I suspect he's closer to Hayden (or we would not buy him for all that money) and for sure better than Hodge who we had a good look at.
So, now we need forwards as the manager has stated. I am hoping a RW and No. 9. This might be loans though, we shall see.
I am hoping Varane plays as an 8 rather than a 6 (Hayden) for us. His record suggests that's what he is. We need more progressive passing and runs from our CMs.

I don't think we will buy another striker unless one leaves first with Dykes being the obvious option. But after spending money on Celar and imminently Varan I can't imagine there is much more cash floating around. It's a pity the Eze transfer hasn't happened (yet anyway) as we are hamstrung without additional cash. Even if we got £2m for Dykes then you are spending something similar on another striker which could be a hit or a miss. The other 2 options are loaning in a young prem striker which won't happen until the last few days of the window, or selling JCS for a decent sum (£8m has been mooted) and reinvest a couple of million on another CB and 5 or 6 m on a striker. I don't think we will bring in another right winger as we have Smyth and Santos. The key to a successful season ( not fighting relegation) will be a fully fit Chair.

Hayden would still be a good signing for me. Only just turned 29. He said that he would like to come back to us and on that basis he should be fully aware of the kind of salary that we can offer.
Still has a QPR photo on his X page.

Technically we made money on the Celar purchase as he cost a fair bit less than what we got for Armstrong.
Armstrong's rumour was it was only 1.5 upfront. This will be spent on Varane. Celar is from the wages of those we have let go already.
Marti has said Santos is a RB who can also play RM. Therefore, this means Cannon is out. And we also need a first-team RW (as Smyth is not that). We need a proper replacement for Willock, and of course, Frey and Dykes are not good enough as we are now.
Even if Celar is the new Austin, what happens if he gets injured? And this is why Marti has already stated he needs more forwards.
What's interesting to me is that they have started the rebuilding from the back: goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders, and so on. I presume this is to see how much they can save so that at the end of the transfer window, they have a large enough set of money to buy the forwards they want, which, as we know, cost the most.

And, as I understand it, the money received for Armstrong all counts in this financial year but the fee paid for Celar is spread over the duration of his contract. That helps this season but means that we have a cost hanging over us for future seasons.

Makes good sense to do that though especially with the cash flow. Also should the transfer not work out we can move him on without ever paying for him in full.

?. Presuming we sell him otherwise any amortisation that's left is condensed into final season and we have to pay balance in full..

Think this might be about raising funds for further players as well as getting money for a player in the last year of his contract who possibly is not signing another deal. Might explain his form in pre season. This Italian LB is 6'' 2'' as well. More physicality in the back line.
Smells like a trout farm in here
