Summer Transfer Window 2017

In terms of budget.

We are likely to have circa £100m from the sales of Niasse, Cleverly and Lukaku.

I would like to think the budget would have been at least £50m without the sales so that would give us a budget in excess of £150m.

Spend it wisely Ronald.


I can't help but feel there are going to be a lot of very disappointed supporterswhen the sums are done come Sept1st

If Hull stay up then yes Naisse it seems will go for £10 million but that sum will probably just cover what is still owed on his original transfer but you then have to factor in from that £10 million the costs associated with a transfer . In effect there won't be any money from that transfer. Ok Everton won't owe any money in respect of the original fee but that possible transfer won't add anything to the pot.

The Cleverly transfer is a good bit of business but again it really won't add , in transfer fee terms, much to the pot. The fact that he came on a free transfer to a degree clouds matters for I suspect there would have been significant loyalty bonuses coupled with a greater than the normal 5 % of any transfer fee received payable to the player.

It's the Lukaku fee if indeed any transfer happens intrigues me. I explained in an earlier post that my guess was that if he goes for £65 million then there would be about £40 million available after costs etc are settled. As with the Naisse situation there is a plus in that there won't be any sums outstanding at that point to Chelsea but there is something else coming into play in that most clubs, like Everton won't pay the fee up front.

If and it's a big if the shareholders are able by virtue of FFP to put monies in, the £80 million already committed has to be factored in, then the question is how much wriggle room is there? I very much doubt that there is £40million as things stand . If Lukaku goes then that might get up to £75 million and potentially £100 million if Barkley also goes but a chunk of that will be spent on replacing Lukaku and indeed Barkley

Oh stop talking complete and utter sense.

This thread is for fantacists and dreamers.
 

Simply put we need 8 new players in the summer.
Sincerely doubt that we'll see as many as eight acquisitions in the summer even with the likes of Niasse and co departing for new shores.

Following three-year model to transform the club, then this will only be the third window out of six, so doubt there'll be monumental changes.

Purely talking speculatively, if Rom says then I'd expect another striker, hopefully Gylfi, perhaps another wide player and additions to defence.
 
This window is about hopefully adding in quality while maintaining the core of players.

Adding the quality won't be the hard part...
 
I bet your FIFA 2017 team online is unreal. False number 9 and 7 you have, with South American wonderkids on the bench.

Stop trying to be @chicoazul lad.
If someone wants to talk about transfers and who they would like us to go and sign. No skin off your nose!
You could always just not look in the thread if you didnt wanna have a moan
 

For lower midtable PL teams.

Will take Keane and Sigurdsson only.
This.

Zaha too flaky, even though I do think that he can be absolutely boss when he wants to be.

That Jose fella would cost £27m and that's not an amount I'm willing to pay on unproven players.

However, Pickford may well be a good shout...he is a very good keeper and will only improve.

I've got a few Mackem mates who say they'd have conceded 5 or 6 games sometimes without him...

As for Cook, I think Ben Gibson from Boro is a better option. He will be a good centre back pairing for Keane too...

Can't see it myself either mate no. Got to look at how many could possibly leave the squad and it makes 8 sound small though. I think without analysing it too much , we could see a gk, right back, cb (with one leaving), a winger or two with Lennon and del gone (need 3 personally) striker and an attacking mid.

Include lookman lewen Galloway into that so there is 3 additions so to speak but in certain areas what we will need are options more than anything else. My thoughts don't include any of our first team leaving so that is more again if we lost any first choice. Only the middle of the park is sorted with gueye schneiderlin Davies and McCarthy before you factor in besic and mr back up barry.

Depth is what we currently lack. There aren't enough players of the same standard in the same position. If you get what I mean.

We've got some boss first teamers, but then there's a significant drop to some second, and especially third string players.
