Rich Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Eales has basically told everyone what we'll be spending if anyone is (a) capable of working it out and (b) arsed enough to work it out. You'd think a professional journalist would at least have (b) covered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we've got to make sure we do it methodically and in a way that's sustainable.' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, we've only got the 21/22 accounts and estimates of the transfer fees and wages added/removed from the books since then. Plus we can only estimate turnover for the current year. So yeah if we (or whichever journalist) had up-to-date accounts then they probably could put a number on it. But we don't, so we can't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make a fairly educated guess, though. We're seeing estimates of between £60M and £150M, as it stands. That's quite a range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) Football Italia has never been topped. (Edit to say it's also criminal that James Richardson is clearly the best presenter of football in the country and remains hidden away on podcasts and BT's Italian footy coverage) Edited June 2, 2023 by sushimonster85 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 We've been linked with a couple of big name out and out strikers in Osimhen and Roque. I do wonder what the vision for the formation is, long term. I get that you want depth and all but if we did sign Osimhen for example you're looking at a situation where our two best players are probably Isak and Osimhen. When push comes to shove, you're going to want them both starting most games. Maybe it's a case of simply playing Isak on the left but I don't know, I do wonder if Eddie sees Isak playing just off a CF eventually. (I don't think we'll get Osimhen... but man does he seem like an absolute dream signing) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
