EH has said himself improving the squad this window will be harder and not just financially. I think he said himself he expected no more than 2-3 first team squad additions and if able to look to bolster a little bit below that. JR on the podcast said we’ve got to be smarter than other teams and make our £ go further than theirs. Also adding the profile of the player to fit in with the mentality of the squad we currently have just as important as their ability. I personally think/thought we’d spend £150m if it’s 3 of our number 1 targets. Rarely do windows go that well unless you are at the top table which despite premature ECL qualification we are not. Our new shirt sponsor alone is £40m per year less than Man City’s. I’m not daft in thinking our media have been briefed to quote conservative budgets but those thinking we are signing 4-6 first team squad additions are living with the fairies. How do you see the window playing out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you see the window playing out? Personally think one big-ish signing of about 40-45m and then a couple of smaller bargain types maybe picked up from relegated teams. Would not be surprised to see ASM go either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll monitor the LB situation (and fast CB) also in case they only find one midfielder they want or push boat out and get all three if the opportunity arises. Cheap deal on a 3rd striker either at youthful end like Rodrygo kind of deal (£3m release) or bring an older one back on a free like Perez. Those kinds of deals. Are you talking about Rodrigo at Leeds? He's hardly youthful, he's 32 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Hope going full Edwards with the £70m budget. I still think it’ll be just over £100m. I would say that he’s part of the club’s tactical game when it comes to pretending we have less to spend - but he’s the one who broke the Fraser story before a cup final, so just like the rest he’s not acting in the club’s interests. The local press are dumber than a bag of hammers - so they’ll sell whatever line comes out of the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
