TRon Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I don't know much about Broja, but any forward we buy really needs to be a finisher. We already have options like Almiron, Murphy and Fraser if we want hard working pacy lads who will inevitably produce weak end product. I'd be worried about spending significant money on someone who might turn out to be another Nicholas Bendtner. That said, other people probably know a lot more about Broja for me, if they reckon he's the real deal then fair enough. A loan deal would certainly be a good option.

That’s not comparable though is it We haven’t got billions in the kitty You can only spend a % of what you generate (and have around £105 million losses) over 3 seasons ? Or something along those lines if we had an endless pot we wouldn’t be looking at Broja on loan , targett as a 1st choice left back or £10m on pope , etc It appears we have a budget and need to spend wisely.

It might be correct, but it might also be the case that we don't want to play our hand in public. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will only work once though if we spend £150 million and all the reports/ reporters have been told the budget is/was £80-£90 million They can’t play the same trick again in regards to a budget (as everyone will point to this window) and say we’ve heard it all before. We will know for sure soon anyway , it all promises to be an exciting season for a number of clubs , definitely more competitive top half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I don't think we'll be miles over that figure, but I also don't think it's set in stone. For example, Ekitike and someone like Harrison or Sarr would cost circa £50 million, but if they could be smart and get Broja on loan for a season, they will. I think they're looking to get value for money wherever they can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a different time and you can’t do that now, everybody is saying this year the ffp is serious and “finally has teeth” - direct quote from Chelsea chairman I think it was. People need to manage their expectations and not be ridiculous with what they think will come in.

I think there’s maybe a slight leeway but don’t think we’ll spend much more than what’s been stated by at least 4 journalists now. Why else would we be focussing on a loan signing but like you say people choose not to listen. It started off with people saying Edwards is talking shit he’s a trolll & negative and how would he know and now it’s the owners are trying to mind trick everyone. Maybe just maybe their is actually a budget around £90m Edited July 3, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it though did Man City and PSG get stuff overturned lastseason, I think the more sponsors they get the bigger the spend, Saudis are not here for shits and giggles, they can through two or three million at individual golfers then what ever they have to spend will be done, in my opinion obviously.

jwclark2342 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I think we are building the correct way. Budget or not. We are getting players that have potential to get better and seem to have great character. The last thing I want at United is players who consider themselves bigger than the club. Howe has shown he can help players develop. We will not be able to get the top top players until we are in Europe or spend stupid money on fees and wages. I love our business so far. Bring in some of the current players we are linked with and this transfer window will be huge success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 The FFP stuff is real, and needs to be take seriously. The club definitely seem to be approaching it that way. I think you will see two more signings. One a RW/right sided forward at around £30-40m mark, then a loan striker, potentially with an option/obligation to buy. By next summer the club will have a new front of shirt sponsor, and likely a who bunch of other new sponsorships. Especially if we have a strong league showing and get ourselves some form of European football, even it's it's the Conference League. Even if all that comes off I'd still say the budget goes up steadily, rather than shooting up. Like maybe next summer it's £120-150m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
