Summer Transfer Window 2017

[catcherintherye]

Him or Sigurdsson?

I'd prefer Lanzini.

 

[catcherintherye]

If we want a monster its Koulibaly or mini Koulibaly which is Davinson Sanchez
Likewise Van Dijk or mini me Lemos

Or the kid De Ligt and bring him in gradually.

Something like that.

I'm surprised the club aren't considering Sanchez. In the current world of transfers 35 million is not exorbitant. I am pretty sure we can often substantially higher wages than Spurs too. We have 2 good experience back up Centre Backs as well, so he can easily have some "bedding in" time.

As a striker Vardy would be perfect for us. This pace is what we need and he knows how to score

I'd stop going to the game.

Not sure on that. For all the talk of Tottenham having stingy wages their wage bill is 20% higher than ours.

Spurs have a wage cap of £100k p/w IIRC but nonetheless neither of us would give him that much so wages are irrelevant.

London + CL vs NW + EL

Is he better than Sigurdsson? Ar...and this guy is too small and has no physical presence.

I don't think that that lad would need a DNA test to prove if the baby was his, if the baby's ugly as sin, then it's his.

Koulibaly.

Typo

But only 50% of their turnover, ours is at 75% which is a dangerous level.

True on ratios. Not sure on how dangerous it is though, outside of the mega-clubs it is fairly standard.

If you are turning over £4m and have a £3m wage bill I'd say that was dangerous.

If you are turning over an almost guranteed £100m with a £75m wage bill then you have a £25m cushion.

This. For all those who have an obsession with net spend, this is the figure we should be looking at. The signing of siguardsson would I suggest push this even higher. I think Barkley, Robles and McCarthy will both be sold to keep our ratio at around 75% and also to supplement the wages of a striker.

It's dangerous because it's not sustainable. We really need to boost our commercial income to reduce this figure further. This is one cost that can't come out of Moshiri's pocket.

Dangerous in terms of a likely change in circumstances, certainly. As it stands, with a fairly predictable income stream, ( and one geared to rise), I prefer the phrase, ambitious, but manageable.

We should go for Mahrez.
