Ben Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I'm as pessimistic as the next fan but I certainly wouldn't be surprised if our final bill at the end of the transfer window was over £250 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 £250m would be a bit much for a 1st transfer window - but imagine to fume from elsewhere! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSelecta Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 If the 600m figure is anywhere near accurate (before any increases in revenue through improved sponsorship) it seems pretty reasonable to me to spend 1/4 or even 1/3 of that up front in the first big window. Leaves plenty of wiggle room for the future. There’s an athletic interview with Staveley Ghodoussi where they state the only limit on spending will be FFP. You can add another limit with Eddie’s desire to keep the group mentality but we’ve got as much money as we need to spend within those 2 limiting factors! I guess £150m.

LV Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I’d be massively surprised if we spent over £150m. But I think we need to be spending over £100m for it to be a good window and to get the right players in the positions we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 We could spend £200m and the £50m figure can still be correct... ... If the £50m is the amortised amount over the course of the players' contacts. Sign players for ~£200m on 4 or 5 year contacts and it'll only "cost" about £50m, so everyone is correct.

Dan Gleebals Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 We will spend, but sensibly. We need the commercial contracts in place before we spend big IMO. I reckon a net £150m spend with a target of top 8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was fantastic for me. This does not necessarily make for a recommendation for NUFC to sign him in real life, I can’t imagine that Tommy Svindal Larson or Andri Sigthorsson would’ve worked wonders for NUFC sides of the past like they did for me.

McCormick Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Was gonna say . If he’s going, he’ll go for quite a bit more than Bruno. I reckon it’ll be 50m + Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 My guess is 44m plus various extra. European qualification and so on. Initial fee 44 that could rise to say 54 or similar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mansour Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I would like to see Guido Rodriguez at NUFC, he is a brilliant CDM and should be available for a reasonable fee (less than 25m) because Betis are struggling financially, and they need 25m before the end of June.

Yup, suspect it will be along the lines of this. We can take fairly substantial losses for the next 3 years (or something) thanks to Ashley being a tight fucker, so absolutely have to take advantage of that free hit to kick-start.

I’ve no doubt they will (but will only spend on who they want, and any surprise opportunities that come up and tick the box, not spend for spendings sake). They aren’t planning just to survive now.
