mrmojorisin75 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I see some people saying we spent 80m last summer, but looking at the fees involved it looks like it's more like 60m, and that's been entirely recpuped by the Sissoko and Wijnaldum sales. What am I missing? didn't we spend ~£80 last summer and jan, get relegated, sell ~£80m in players but at the same time as spending ~£50m on new ones for the champo leaving a ~£30m profit? that's how i recall it 87m from sales. 57m spent on players. Although because Spurs haven't paid the balance of the 30m yet the club would have essentially broken even in terms of cash in the bank. I really think this could be a factor in the hold up this summer. do you know the terms of the sissoko deal like? i always thought it was standard for most clubs to spread the fee over contract length so around £6m a season or whatever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is often put forward as a reason for us dawdling in the transfer market, maybe if it's leading to us being uncompetitive we should stop doing it.

Happinesstan Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Be quality if we signed Lejeune today, if only for the fact that it would make Ryders fake account more reliable than the real one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think this could be a factor in the hold up this summer. do you know the terms of the sissoko deal like? i always thought it was standard for most clubs to spread the fee over contract length so around £6m a season or whatever I read about it before. They paid a nominal fee up front. Like 5 million, the rest was to be paid a year later. I can't see them going for several instalments, we needed money last summer to fund the transfers and keep the club going. We got 30m from Spurs but there was also 28 million on the table from Madrid, they could easily have taken that so my guess is the terms of the Spurs deal were favourable. 25m is a nice lump sum to get just as we begin our recruitment drive. It's not insignificant either. I have a feeling Rafas budget is closer to 40/50 million so this could amount to half our chest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Joseph Hart http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4657300/Newcastle-interested-Manchester-City-s-Joe-Hart.html Don't believe that tbh. I've always thought he was a very ordinary keeper, I said it when he was England's no 1 a couple of years ago. I can't see that Rafa would rate him unless the fee is nominal.

Guest Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Wouldn't worry about us signing him, we won't pay the fee or the wages. Nobody is going to pay his current wages. I don't think the fee would be too bad. He's going to have to accept a big pay cut wherever he goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
