Matt1892 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I wouldn’t be surprised if we sold Miggy and Wilson if decent offers come in, their value will decrease dramatically after this window. Interesting article by Caulkin and the talk about budget is believable, he says that while the club has stretched their budget every window that there comes a time where you have to balance the books with it. I think the issue for the club is that there are fans that believe the club tell journalists a deliberately low amount every season to try and get better deals in the transfer market, whereas journalists say there is a ballpark figure we want to spend but can stretch for the right player. However, that extra money has to come from future spending budgets and this will catch up with us eventually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 There are top people behind the scenes, they'll be working on a range of solutions to the FFP problem. But I doubt they will deviate from the long-term plan of not overpaying and trying to keep wages as low as possible for as long as possible. I still think we could spend 150mil+ this Summer and sign a minimum of 5 players, but nobody knows, especially the journalists as they seem to get fed fake news on purpose.

duo Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 No one will have a clue what our budget is and all Eddie has said is we have to be mindful of FFP. Which isn't telling you anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just setting us back further for players we would need to replace. It should be the far less talented ones that get upgrades, or maybe one that wants out (ASM potentially).

He would be perfect although I think Liverpool will get him. Thuram and one of Barella or Szoboszlai would take us to a different level again.

JonBez comesock Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 No budget , if a player we really want becomes available at the right price we will try to buy them However I still don’t think we will spend over £130m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Is he not going to be a starter for Madrid with Bellingham going there or something? Seems very, very unlikely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 His wages will be insane, he plays for Real Madrid so Newcastle is undeniably a step down and has been bought by them with the plan of him being there for a decade with Bellingham and Valverde as replacements for Casemiro/Modric/Kroos It makes no sense for the player or for either club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Not that we will get him, but our interest in Barella shows we are targeting elite players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 They probably do have a bit of a surplus of CMs with Bellingham, Camavinga, Tchouameni and Valverde there so maybe one will leave. As has been said though, I'd expect our wage structure takes us out of the running for any of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By elite I thought we meant Maddison and we seem to at least be poking around a level above that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
