If it is true that Romelu goes for £50m+ and we are really going to have something like £100m available as our initial war chest, I wonder who we are going to buy and especially for how much.
We currently basically need:
GK, CB, CM, RW, AM, LW, ST, ST
That's 8 players needed to be signed. In other words £20m average to spend on a player. What about this... possibly a little bit FM/FIFA way - but I mainly want to get excited about what may happen this summer! Mainly Dutch summer before us?
IN = £160m
GK = Timo Horn, £6.5m
CB/RB = Joel Veltman, £13.5m
CM = Riechedly Bazoer, £30m
RW = Quincy Promes, £20m
AM = Georginio Wijnaldum, £15m
LW = Bernardo Silva, £30m
ST = Vincent Janssen, £20m
ST = Arkadiusz Milik, £25m
OUT = £70m
Lukaku, £60m
Mirallas, £10m
Howard, Mattioni, Hibbert, Gibson, McGeady, Osman, Pienaar, McAleny, Kone permanently for almost nothing or nothing, Niasse sadly only on loan
Browning, Connolly, Galloway, Garbutt, Kenny, Ledson, Davies, Williams, Walsh, Dowell, Henen, Rodriguez all on a development loan
NET SPEND = £90m, £10m as a reserve
