NUFC Transfer Rumours


Recommended Posts

The amount of squad building we need to make with a top right winger a top centre back a great keeper a great back up striker and a centre midfielder. we can't be getting these guehis mbuemo diblings with that type of money unless of course they haven't got a clue about our budget.

Looking at the actual events of recent seasons adding a hopeful dusting of believing the club wants what they have said they want and forgetting the journo speculation leads me to think the following.
This version of NUFC have for the three  and a half seasons Howe has been in charge returned top six form. Add in to that the ambitions of the owners, the unforgettable taste of cup success, Champions League qualification (plus lessons from lack of squad depth last time), a few likely departures, £89m net transfer spend over last three years and that equals a big fuck-off summer splurge. Minimum four first team players incoming.

How the fuck is it only £100m we’ve sold miggy & Kelly for over £30m and haven’t signed anyone in 3 windows and qualified for CL

Just going on data I can find online which may not be very accurate so don't hang me for this 

 

Say worst case after selling Minteh and Anderson PSR year  23/24 we ended at £0.

This year we have 21/22 drop off - Willock 25m + Bruno Tripps etc 91m = 116m

So we should have that 116m .

Sales of Miggy and Kelly c35m

Conservatively I would say about 150m.

 

Re Uefa and wages + squad spend

 

Wages have gone up from c61m to 95m per year = +c55%

Amortisement - Squad value c £450m so over 5 years = 90m per year. But most players been with us for 3 years or more so I would say 50% at worst =45m per year less profit amortisement of sales (7m)=38m

Income has gone up from 140m per year to 320m per year = 228%  - far more than the wages

Club staff wages have also gone up by who knows what.

 

150+95-38 =207m (squad spend Uefa rules)

320x70%=224m

 

Thats without any new sales but we have CL income 

 

So Hey.......

 

I reckon we have at least 150m  In The Bag

Unlike previous summers, feels next summer we’ll be in a better place to sell a ‘purple’ after spending £200m this summer. 

What on earth is a purple and where did this phrase come from... Seen it here used loads.

From the Days of Derek Lambayzee. We aspired to have a purple chip (casino speak) as in a top

value player in each position with younger back ups

Aha thanks! That passed me by completely.

Perfect time to do a deal if so?

Only if it’s not a permanent drop in form. It’s not unknown for players to have a good first season and then not replicate it again.

Looks like we're still going to struggle to convince players to come North eh. Seems ridiculous but it's still a problem. It's London most of the time, game time or not. Annoying as fuck.

First transfer of the summer prediction? I’ll go Trafford early July 

Early July? My sheets would be soaked in piss by then.

Get the feeling we won’t do anything in June.  Think it’ll be Trafford, then one more. Then a late Isak style deal 

Odds on no new signings in the starting 11 for the first game of the season ? [emoji38]

With Howe specifically mentioning the PSR deadline, I’d be surprised if we don’t do business before then. Probably close to the end when clubs get really desperate. I remember some of the mad deals we floated last summer.

Hey, if they dont want to come here because they would rather be in a bigger city with better nightlife I'm thinking we are maybe dodging a few bullets.

Ha, just my initial reaction to seeing Delap going to Chelsea. It's definitely a thing though. Particularly if the players already play down South. It's the shopping for the missus innit.

True but I’d expect close to 150m with barely any expenditure the last 3 windows and sales in Jan. I’m sure they’ll bring in some good players but 100m isn’t much really unless there’s some mega wheeling and dealing.

I'm not a spreadsheet wanker. But I don't think the purpose of not spending in 3 windows was to build up to a big allowance. It was to balance the overspending we did. 

 

So I think the idea that we can spend massive just because we never spent for 3 windows, might not be correct. 

 

But as I say, I know fuck all about PSR.
