Sorry totally disagree that team you selected will not take us to the next level. I think the owners take the same view as me as we will see.

You could disagree if that was what I said. That team gives us the best chance of starting where we left off. With better prospects coming through when they are ready.

I’ll sell all my possessions, divorce my wife, and move to Newcastle if that happens.

Need someone better than Miggy as much as like him 

Completely agree. Other than a few decent performances recently he does nowhere near enough to justify a starting spot 

[ExiledGeordie]

I’d love us to sign Paqueta and get the feeling there’s a decent chance but if we don’t have the extra cash to outlay 50 odd million on him I’d rather it was used on a striker, right wing, CB and left back. The midfield can obviously be improved but there’s more pressing concerns elsewhere. If we somehow manage to bring in Paqueta, a striker, RW then our attack could be outrageous next season.

Yes exactly this. What’s the combined cost of say a new LB, striker, RW and say Botman and possibly a new keeper? Way, way over 100m. I just don’t see them shelling out another 50-60m on top of that if all the reports from local journos are right and considering FFP. They’re not going to spend more than 150m this summer or I’d be very surprised.

Reports from the Journos are wrong.

It’s great if they are wrong but Craig Hope, George Caulkin and Mark Douglas who I sat and listened to at a talk in earlier this week are rarely that wrong given their contacts ?

If they can get who they have in their shopping trolley it wouldn’t surprise me if they spent up to £200 million, that’s factoring in FFP. Not saying they will, but if they are serious about Nunez @ £100 million and targeting 5-6 Bruno types, it’s going to top the January spending and some.

At least we’re actively trying to sign players eh. Light years away from the Ashley nonsense we had to endure for years.

I know, it’s taking some getting used to but compared to Ashley’s horror show it’s basically this :

They've definetly been briefed, but they were in January too and they figure was incorrect.

Most them said 50 mullion per window. We nearly spent double that in January

Its one thing having contacts and being briefed but it doesn't mean they're being briefed correctly...

They know fuck all in reality, they are nearly always wrong and often report on the facts when it becomes a fact.

Those contacts can also use friendly journos to get the message out that they want people to believe. 

[SUPERTOON]

They are reporting the budget based on our current sponsorship which can’t be worth much. If and when we get new sponsorships, the budget will also increase.

[sushimonster85]

It's also important to keep in mind that we don't know if the figure they have heard is accounting for amortization.

And that's without getting some of the players we put bids in for

[STM]

I think it's fairly clear that club are intentionally playing down the amount they have to spend. 

 

Even if the original budget was 60m, as some journalists would lead us to believe, once we have sold a couple of players that budget could immediately end up at 85m.

 

Also, something that hasn't been factored in, is the amount of wages we are going to be saving on soon. Ritchie, Hayden, Clark, Fernandez, Gayle, Darlow, Manquillo is going to save us 1/4 of a million every week. Add Almiron or Murphy or Lascelles and that's even more.

 

Having a massively reduced wage budget will give us plenty of rope in the market, when trying to get the balance correct between transfer fees and future wages.

 

I'd be shocked it we don't spend more than 100m in this window. The targets which have been suggested are going to take, at least, that amount.

 

Estimates

Henderson : Loan with a future fee or transfer with installments based on appearances etc.

Renan Lodi: 25m

Botman: 38m

Diaby: 40m

 

Those 3 take us to 100m and that's without a striker, which is our priority.

They may even be delaying the announcement of a new sponsor in order to get some signings over the line while we are still constrained by the current finances.

[Mansour]

There is no chance that the club's budget is anything less than 100m. It is safe to assume that it is between 150-250m. We certainly should expect at the very least a CB, LB, RW, and CF. A midfielder and a GK is very likely as well.
