Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 We didn’t spend £45mil? Atsu £6.5 Manquillo £5mil Joselu £5mil Murphy £12mil Merino £9mil Lejeune £9mil With £10mil back for Thauvin, and maybe another £5mil for Murphy, Hanley and De Jong. So £30mil down on top of the £55mil tv money lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21912 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 The summer after we finished 5th, wasn’t Big Vern Anita our only signing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToony 41 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Wow, the lot of you are going to be shocked when Amanda buys PSG's Kylian Mbappe this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haydnator 45 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) A case can be argued for every position tbh. But, for me: Kenedy Dubravka 2 strikers (Slimani isn't ours, Joselu isn't good enough, keep Gayle as a squad player, if Mitro goes we probably need 3 strikers ) A #10 (no idea who, I'd trust Rafa's judgement) A winger (Murphy is young, unsure on Atsu, keep Ritchie as a squad player) A CB (if Lascelles gets injured/suspended we're a mess defensively) A RB (probably bin Manquillo or just keep as cover for Dummett on the opposite side, sign an upgrade on or better competition for Yedlin) Doubt Rafa will get the funds to get those. I'm convinced he'd turn us into a very decent side with a McClaren sized budget of maybe £50m-£80m, whether he'll get it is another conversation.

So £30mil down on top of the £55mil tv money lost I'd forgotten about Merino. So say around £43m spent. We recouped £20m from Thauvin, Murphy, Gibson, Hanley and De Jong. It's £23m net spend which is still pretty low for the PL and pales in comparison to what the other promoted clubs spent. There's still bound to be a decent wedge there to spend in the summer. Given the fees we received for transfers in the previous season I'm not sure that we'll have made a huge loss from our season in the Championship.

ewerk 30569 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I know it's quite unlike you to try to be pedantic so I'll set it out very clearly for you. Florian Lejeune £8,700,000 Jacob Murphy £10,000,000 Javier Manquillo £4,500,000 Joselu £5,000,000 Christian Atsu £6,000,000 Mikel Merino £8,900,000 £43,100,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceCadet 5 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I'd like one of Jack Grealish or James Maddison to compete with Ayoze Perez for the #10 position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceCadet 5 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I like Islam Slimani too but he'll be 30 next season and has a poor fitness record so I wouldn't pay anymore than we'd sell Mitro for. I'd take Tammy Abraham too if Chelsea were a willing seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and a 3rd season out the PL would probably see him weigh up his options.

Not seen enough of him this season to comment really about signing him Like Ewerk pointed out, he is widely thought of as a bit of a clown or even how Ewerk put it (a c*nt). He is a naturally talented player though who could score and create goals in and around the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
