What a player cost in total is not the amount of your budget that total figure accounts for, it’s what the player cost divided by length of contract (amortisation). So Paqueta for £50 million if on a 5 year contract takes up £10 mill of your budget. You could still buy 5 more £50 mill players within your £60 mill budget.

Is this how Edwards is working his figures out when reporting we only have a small budget to work with? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) I do believe bowen had a release clause in his contract when he 1st signed form hull. No idea if he's renewed since then but it was around 50m. We were also his preferred option but Ashley didn't meet the fee or wages.

Strange how we're being linked with left sided wingers though, when that's ASM and Fraser's starting position. A lot of them can play as a second striker/attacking midfielder too, which is the way Howe often used Josh King really successfully at Bournemouth. Think it's probably the same sort of idea.

It could be, although he has more recently said the "spend to be £60m at the low end and £100m at the top end" plus player sales. It's not totally inconceivable that we could spend £100-120m on three or four very good players, plus two more either on loan or as free transfers. None of this is contradictory with the general consensus of our budget and the number of players we are reportedly after (four to six). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's exactly the sort of player you could see Howe getting a lot more out of, as he has such a great foundation of skills. It's going to continue to be a hallmark of Howe's while he's here. Maximising the talents of a lot of players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
