Player Valuation: £35m
Their Summer transfer kitty was rumoured to be around about £60 million at the start of the Summer plus whatever they recoup from sales.
They also signeda new sponsorship deal last year with some airline to sponsor their training kit and other deals with the likes off Duncan Donuts and Vauxhall all of which total over £30 million a year for the next few years.. Added to that the extra tv revenue money and guaranteed CL money and the selling of Suarez probably have just over £140 million to spend..
Theyve spent about £40 million so far, so they have at least another £100 million to spend. Looks like £20 million on markovic and another £20 on Lovren still leaves them with £60 million.... Easily enough to sign a top left back and another top player, which hopefully wont be Sanchez or else they are looking very good for next season.
DEpends what you class as 'top player' but you could reasonably argue that they've yet to sign a 'top player' and are unlikely to do so. They've ransacked the team that finished 9th and a guy who scored 5 goals in the portuguese league.
Fergie never, EVER bought so many players in one season. It simply doesn't work. And if Fergie couldn't make it work than Brent has absolutely no chance.
