We are paying 35 or just the value?

he says that he’s heard Phillips is going for around £35m but he hasn’t heard us mentioned. He thought City were favourites to get him but he wants guaranteed football. Says he won’t go to Villa.

I want us to sign Phillips just for the inevitable Chronicle story about 12-year-old Tyler getting excluded from school for copying his haircut.

[Shearergol]

He also said that playing as a DM, on his own, he’s world class, but in a 2 he’s absolutely shocking.

Barber: "So which Leeds players' haircut did you want again?"

 

Kid: "Yes"

Stay clear of any Man U player and players from relegated teams. Also, don't sign anyone that wears colourful boots. Has a silly haircut. Has a trademark celebration that last longer than a FIFA one. Refers too their Brand. And certainly no one that listens to more than two podcasts.

Time to make myself at home in here for a couple of months.

Good reading. Nice early start to this post season thread. 

[Groundhog63]

Christ, the season only finished yesterday and I'm all over the gaff.

So what he’s saying is our budget isn’t 50 million ? I’m shocked.

Someone tell Luke his figure is only 900% out

Ramble says we won't make a huge splash this summer. I think Luke/Hope/Douglas are more likely to be right.

He’s also a bean counter and not a journalist. Nobody knows anything about our budget only the owners.

Define splash.

He says it ‘might’ be more prudent to buy 4x 50m players on 100kpw each and save cash for later windows rather than go all out and blow everything. In my eyes, given the last 14 years, a £200m window is still a pretty big ‘splash’!! ? 

[Tiresias]

I still think some people are going to be very disappointed by our window. I don't think we will spend quite the sums some think based on how much Howe thinks dressing room unity is important I really don't think he wants to change a huge amount of the squad. The Tarkovski links might be because CB is no longer a priority with Schar and Burn playing perfectly well so makes sense to add depth if we can shift Fernandez and means don't have to spend what it normally costs to get a premier league level defender. Of course I would like a lot of changes, and I really hope certain positions are upgraded. I do doubt the £50m figure, but I don't think it will be thaaat far out.

 

 

[JonBez comesock]

Don’t think ‘ramble’ will be involved in our transfer discussions 

 

just a hunch 

 

he has already pointed out the numbers and what is possible etc 

 

I don’t think we have a specified budget and we will do deals that come along (and that suits everyone)

 

At least we know that our new owners will always push to do their best 

 

that’s all we can ask for

He literally talks about us spending 200m?

We brought in 5 and improved the unity 

 

we will be losing at least 5 (so will need to replace) 

 

Doesn’t have to be crazy money , but we need 5 new faces

Still think it'll be 4-5 in and shifting loads of the deadwood. I think only one or two of those will be of Bruno quality. It wouldn't suprise me to see something like: Henderson, Targett, Paqueta, a right winger (can't think of one off the tipnof ny head) and Ekitike.

I think they meant relative to what people expect (500m+). I still believe that the club is going to spend something between 150m-250m.

[Tiresias]

Yeah very possibly but I would be surprised at 5 'marquee' signings, I think there'll be a bit of exciting young players rather than established stars

That's still comfortably over 100 million

It’s a fucking tsunami compared to Ashley’s scrimping. £200m would be comparable to when Man City went out and bought their full back line and Bernardo for £40m a pop (Walker 50m, Mendy 50m Ederson 30m, Danilo 30m) in 2017.
