Infinitely Content Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 40/50 million plus sales is better than I would have expected tbh Would atleast allow us to bring in 2-4 quality additions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Well £50m plus players sales would be fine, but I don't believe it. Me too but no doubt bollocks as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Well £50m plus players sales would be fine, but I don't believe it. Aye, I'd be fine with that and I'd hope that Rafa would be. But even if Rafa has been promised that, there's probably a bunch of caveats and conditions hindering the whole recruitment drive and ultimately discrediting any alleged budget. Can't spend more than £15m on any one player, can't buy a player over X age, etc etc. Plus there's the general incompetence of the likes of Charnley to get deals done, plus the inevitable breakdown in communications and changing of the goalposts. The fact of the matter is, there isn't a defined budget and there never has been, aside from - presumably - those two windows with McClaren. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 100% any budget is inclusive of contract length wages, funny that's never factored back in once a player is moved on before his contract is up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 £50m and sales would do us like, spend that on 2-3 quality improvements (striker/10) then whatever we recoup reinvest elsewhere where required too much to hope for, i reckon everything hinges on getting lazaar off the wage bill otherwise we'll do a pompey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Course it will be, and agents fees. We budget properly, might not be what we want to hear but it's what any of us would do if say we wanted a new kitchen.. Well I've got 10k gonna spend it all on units and fuck fitting. Still player sales will balance wages as well as increase funds... £50m all in would be a decent leap forward imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I’m feeling quite optimistic with the whole situation, Rafa seems happy with what he has been told and I’m confident that we will break our transfer record a couple of times before the window shuts and bring in a number 9 that can get us 20 goals a season as well as keep hold of anyone Rafa wants.

Ketsbaia Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 It'll be £40m plus the current instalments of sales, with signing-on fees included. Some bullshit like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume Kenedy in and Mitrovic out cancel each other out. That leaves maybe 1 more marquee signing (£20m) and two more mid-tier guys. Not much to upgrade our squad.

Not much to upgrade our squad. i'm not saying it's ideal by any stretch of the imagination but lets say you go something like £25m striker £15m number 10 £10m whatever rafa wants mitro = kenedy all other sales = one more quality player loan one or two more of the kenedy ilk for a club with the will to do it you could improve our squad with that budget and rafa's knowhow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 £50 will be in the bottom five net spends in the Premier League this summer, guaranteed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 A decent chunk of the transfer budget will be required to pay for loan players (who will be a much higher proven quality than most players NUFC can afford to buy). Does the restocking of the under 23 squad come from the same budget? Probably. Does Rafa keep some money back to spend on training ground improvements?

FinnMag Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 And it is now understood that Benitez will have to fight to get signings done this summer with a kitty similar to last summe So, we must keep Mitrovic because no money, no honey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 £50 will be in the bottom five net spends in the Premier League this summer, guaranteed. Only half a dozen or so had a net spend of close to £50m or more last summer mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Just saw that too. Think this one has legs. Been linked with him for a while now, and the price, age and potential to improve are all right up our street. Would be a very exciting signing. Come on Toons!
