How much will we spend in the Summer 2023 transfer window?

[LiquidAK]

£141m-£160m, never trust what anyone at the club or local journos say about it, they’re never going to be honest/brief the journos accurately in a bid to keep prices down.

180 mill net is my overwhelming intuition

[davidnolan13]

At least 7 million

[gbandit]

£165 million big ones

Just have a lie down and some water.

Getting top 4 felt massive to the entire club, like a genuinely game-changing success and put us way ahead of schedule as acknowledged by Howe. I just don't see us NOT taking advantage this summer by going pretty big and trying to cement top 5 or 6 next season too. I'd expect most of the dollar to be spent from July onwards (next accounting year I think?) and they can concentrate on growing the income to compensate in the future.

 

£140m+ net

What did Howe say on this point?

[wyn davies]

Not as much as we anticipated maybe £100m tops

[SUPERTOON]

I reckon around 90 million 

[HaydnNUFC]

More than the press persistently claim.

Think it was straight after Leicester? 

 

Or maybe I just heard what I wanted to hear

It will be on the next accounting year, as Willock’s summer transfer and the permanent deals for Targett and Pope were covered in the 2021/22 accounts. Botman was completed on the 1st July as requested by Lille so sits in the 2022/23 accounts.

 

I have been reading an article from the Athletic that was published a few months ago and they said then about it being in the £60m - £80m range which was the amount earmarked for last summer, we can go above that but the concern is that we do what Everton did and go to the FFP limit too quickly which hinders ourselves in following windows.

Haha, maybe. It was a genuine question, would be exciting if he confirmed something like that, given how disinclined he is to hype ordinarily 

[McCormick]

I think we’ll see a similar spend to last summer. 120m or whatever it was.

[George Bailey]

We will spend enough. 

For first time in a long while  we have a plan, a manager to implement and owners/board who will back.

 

Howay the lads

 

(although we may spend enough to enable us to leave the atmosphere)

[mighty__mag]

Minimum four signings. Elite players 150m

[PauloGeordio]

Rice would be nice! ??

[Norseman]

£135M net

[LFEE]

If we sign someone ambitious early in the window we might end up getting 3x circa £50m players but if we struggle to make a break through then it will be a push to get 2. We are clearly looking at a very small pool of players.

[TRon]

Went for £120-140m. Think we'll get around 5 players in for that, with a couple of them being real top rank signings.

@jack j glad to see we have another man of culture

[Dr Jinx]

Somewhere between 160-180.. it’s not important. The club have shown they are patient and are no mugs in terms of spending cash. Other clubs know this now too.

 

We all have players we’ve seen that we’d like to see in black n white but we know little compared to our manager in terms of what will work, who will work etc.

 

We could spend 75m on 2 players and have a stronger squad than last season. We’re in good shape no matter what happens.

 

I suspect players will need to leave anyway which is probably what Dan Ashworth is looking at first.
