How much will we spend.....

Post by Boban » Fri Aug 02, 2019 2:18 pm

In the last few days of the window?
I’ll start with £30million.

Is that including what we have already spent or without ?

I'm guessing over £100. But less than £30m.

We are waiting for the cheque to clear from Heaton. £8m less 2.5 million for Peacock is £5.5 million. If it doesn’t clear in time then zero. The PL money from Sky is going into a regular saver and we will lose interest if we access it.

We brought in about 6m for vokes and 8m for Heaton

We have spent £10m on Jay, £1.5m on Pieters and possibly £2.5m on Peacock Fowl

That would equate to £14m in and £14m out.

So hopefully, more than nothing.

If you mean between now and the window closing, I believe Maguire will go to United, and we will sell Tarky for 40-50m.

I don't believe we will sign anyone bar Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

Like the OP, I can also see 30m+ being spent this August.

We'll call it optimism, I'm well known for being optimistic.

We’ll probably buy Heaton back for £25m+

Vokes was £10m deal.

The final figure wasn't disclosed, but it could have been between £7m and £10m ( with or without add ons ) - minus the 25% that went to Wolves for their reputed sell on clause.

I used about £6m to make our spending look better.

So during your 'calculations' are you are talking up front payments or overall deals? Because the Rodriguez deal has only cost an initial £5m. Can't have it both ways.

The Vokes move is part of our history. You can't count the money from his sale as it wasn't a deal done this window.

More chance of Wood not being called Woods on here all season than us spending £30m.

We need to spend between 15m and 20m on a midfielder capable of starting, this is the minimum requirement.

As much as we can.
People easily forget that sales are never really in the hands of the buyers, it's the sellers that hold the strings. Even if you get the sellers on board, you then have to sell it to the player.
We might get another player in, we might not, but it wont be because of lack of effort.

I dont care how much we spend on a player. Just because a player is deemed to be worth 20million doesnt guarantee he will be better than a player worth 2million. Arsenal signed that sideshow bob player from the lower leagues of french football for about 5 million. Kante was about 5.6 million. I do feel we need one or two players in but what they cost isnt going to impact my view on whether they are a good player or not.
