Summer transfer window 2023

[gazzaa2]

New ownership committed to spending money this summer. Two deals already in place pending staying in the league.

We must spend big this summer. No messing about. We're owed a few big signings after January.

He’s not ready for the big stage like Jude was, it’s the right move for him as Sunderland will likely be in the promotion race next season

Seem like a good club for youngsters to be at right now.

Ownership = Full takeover ?

I thought MSP taking a stake were favourites...

Give us a clue on the deals ?

We can't spend big though until we get our wage bill down, it's 90% of our turnover at the moment and it needs to be 60-70% and that's with new signings included.

Id like to see a wage break down at the club for the whole club, i know the players would be the majority, but the squad is not exactly big or as big as it was as the bill remains stubbornly high as a % of turnover - we have one of the best paid boards in the league and seems we are appointing someone or other every other week and still signing lads from Burnley - if you know what i mean, it needs a root and branch review in terms of efficiency.

1 year extensions for Begovic and Doucoure.

We need 'spotters' all over Liverpool to see if Graeme Sharp has grown a full beard.

I suspect some of it will be the huge media arm we seem to have which protects Kenwright and co which consists of seemingly around 100 people. I also think some of the players are on way more money than what people think. If someone like Mykolenko is apparently on nearly £60k per week then god knows what some of the rest of them are on (I dread to think tbh) I think there will be cutbacks both on and off field and they are needed as we have to start managing our finances better.

We have 500 employees - is that reasonable would you think mate?

I don't know how that compares to others tbh, what do you think?

I suppose it also depends on how they are all spread throughout the club

It’s Graeme Sharp that’s why!!

Spend 100-150 mill (depending on sales) on 4 or 5 good young players. Give them lesser wages to start with with increases down the line.

Mina, Coady and some others will free up wages.

I would sign Joselu from RCD Espanyol. He is a great forward and probably this season Espanyol can be relegated so he will be a bargain.
