Odear 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 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.

Odear Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 His confidence has taken a battering over the last few seasons. A huge gamble to have him in hoping he rediscovers his form. Could cost many a point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut 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...

Seymour Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Butland was injured most of last season and didnt look amazing when he came back into the side, although a good goalkeeper with time to develop. Due to Begovic being first choice and his injury last year, Butland has only ever had ONE full season being first choice goalkeeper in the premier league. Forster is decent but still makes plenty of mistakes Pickford is an overrated kid who although has potential, has loads to prove also People single out Harts mistakes as hes been Englands first choice goalkeeper for a long time now. If the the others I have mentioned became Englands first choice goalkeeper, there mistakes would be highlighted a lot more Currently right now hes the best option England have in my opinion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Aside from Tim Krul having a very bad injury, is he really that bad of a stopper? He's better than Darlow and Elliott. Perhaps Rafa wants to run the rule over him in early pre season before making a decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
