Yorkie Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 £20-30m. Don't think it'll be as much as people anticipate. Agree with this. I think we'll go over/around £10m on one player atleast once... but given how many he is in for, i can see a couple of £3/4m type signings coming in.

McCormick Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Is this 'net spend'? Just what we will spend. Not how much we may recoup. Ah right, cheers. In that case then i'd be surprised if our budget is anything higher than 45 million; especially since kev's only set out to buy 4-5 first teamers.

fredbob Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 With Ashley having put in so much money when maybe it wasnt SO neccessary in clearing the debts, i think its a safe be that he'll at least match the amount he put into debt management, transfer funding is an absolute priority in running a club and he'll know that. So i think he'll put in about £40m minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 All depends on the scouting. We paid £2m for Habib Beye and he's quality. If Wise, Vetere and Jiminez have been doing their job properly, we could get another few bargains, meaning the spend won't be too great. If Ashley is going to put £40m into the pot, for example, I'd rather see KK bring in the 3-4 he wants for around £20m (depending on what their clubs want) then theres a guarenteed £20m there in January should things go tits-up with injuries/some signings not working out.

johnnypd Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 even though mort and keegan have said we don't need many players, i think we'll bring in quite a few. even in January we brought in 5, though they were all youngsters. I think we'll see at least this amount of young players (be they for academy, reserves or first team fringes) signing over the summer, probably more, and 4 or 5 first-teamers. that is before you even start contemplating replacements, as the likes of Carr, Rozehnal and N'Zogbia might leave, while mediocre players like Smith and Milner may also follow.

Dokko Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 An optimistic £40-50m Probably about £30-40m net. I can see us getting rid of at least 6 players, some free, and i can see us bringing in 10 players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put Milner in the same category as Smith again and I will glass you with a brick! brick made of glass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheKingOfNewcastle Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 It will depend on what formation Keegan decides to adopt next season. If he sticks with 4-3-3 then in my opinion we need a whole new midfield 3 as the current three just aren't good enough. If he goes 4-4-2 we need 4 new midfielders assuming N'Zogbia's on his bike.

johnnypd Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Man City have apparently agreed a £20m fee with CSKA for Brazilian striker Jo. If so it sets the kind of tone for the summer, we're going to have to spend big to catch up with the pack, never mind overtake them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicago_shearer Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I reckon it will be a very quiet summer for everyone in the league actually. Even the billionaires that own most Premiership clubs will be more reluctant to spend if the economy keeps slowing. Besides being a poor financial decision, if we end up spending 40, 50, 60 million or more then I'll seriously wonder what the Wise, Vetere & Jimenez team were brought in to do. If we are spending anywhere near the amount some people think then it will inevitably mean that we are buying FM style from established talent and not rising stars.
