Coffee_Johnny Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 May be setting myself up for disappointment, but does anybody else think that regardless of the budgetary bollocks being broadcast () that this is the window where we go large? If you had to pick one pure purple signing who would it be? I’d go Osimhen (at third type of praying…). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will likely spend in that £125-175M range depending on who is available and people will be disappointed with various parts of the squad.

ohmelads Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I think most transfer rumours/news comes from agents and guesswork, and some more legit rumours from inside sources, whether someone inside the club or close to someone who is. Those legit rumours can't be stopped because you're inevitably sending scouts and putting feelers out about a player and that involves middle men. The club's budget though? Absolutely no one at the club beyond the board and senior management staff will ever know that. It's very easy to keep in-house because hardly anyone knows and those who do have no incentive to share it. It's either a journo pulling the number from their arse or the club have put out a low figure to dampen expectations both of fans and selling clubs. My bet in this case is the former.

Rich Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Aye. I was doing my usual nerdy spreadsheet yesterday after work and there's no way we come out of this summer being totally content, it's just not possible these days unfortunately. Still, we'll be significantly stronger than we were at the beginning of last season, and look how that turned out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) Would be insane to spend 60-80m, that's one CL-level player. Wish journalists could have their Twitter accounts confiscated. Edited June 9, 2023 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I think if we only spend that much there will be a lot of anger directed towards the Gordon purchase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Still think it'll be similar to last summer. Four to five signings, with a couple of those being Botman, Bruno or Isak calibre and more of the trash out the door. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it depends who they bring in. If they somehow did manage to get what we need for that price, then fair enough. I trust them but I would be a bit disappointed. But obviously it's about the signings and not the absolute spending number. I just expect us to go relatively big to get our top couple of targets, which on their own should add up to £100m+.

As long as the team comes out of the summer looking stronger, it's progress. Anyone expecting a handful of "Champions League level" players is in for disappointment though. The strategy won't change. There is a long term plan and the Champions League was an added bonus on the journey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 There will be a fair few released, some sold,others loaned, with that said and done I think we'd likely spend around 150m, especially the names being mentioned, the words "elite players" has been used a number of times when talking about future signings, and this squad needs depth to match some of the quality we already have competing in four competitions. I'm going to guess it will be a surprising summer ahead, journalist will continue to dream up stories, it's all they have to do now really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
