Your Summer 2017 Predictions

Status
Not open for further replies.
Barkley to leave.
Rom to stay (not because he wants to but because no one will pony up what we want for him).
Positive net spend (but less than +£30m).
Valencia to stay.
Rooney goes to China (for a bit more than Alan Shearer's "fifty quid a week").
Go out in the Europa league group stages.
No cup wins.
Finish 6th in the league.
 
Negative spend of -50m.
Lukaku and Barkley sold
Deleufeu, Niasse, McGeady, Mccarthy, Kone, Valencia, Stek, Funes, Tarashaj all to leave.
No signings until the sales are complete
Comfortable passage to EL group stage
But ultimately left further behind by our ambitious rivals.
 

1. Rom and Ross will both leave
2. We will spend well in excess of 150m on players
3. Weasels will be hunted
As disappointed as I'd be to see Ross and Rom leave, it'd be nice to see 150m spent and the dead wood shifted. Who would you spend 150m on though? I'd expect a big outlay on a main striker if we're serious for top 4, a 3rd of that at least, so only leaves 100m for 2x CBs, a RB, a CAM, a backup CF, a GK and a left attacking player. We potentially need an upcoming LB also who's good enough for cover and will eventually replace Baines.

Anyway, my predictions,

1. Rom & Ross out
2. Usmanov to Everton
3. Nice little trip to Europe for an away game!
4. Stadium designs unveiled

Ross will leave no one will bid for Rom

We buy Valencia for £8m

Our most expensive signing will be £15m from someone like Espanyol

We will walk the Europa qualifiers

Williams still first choice CB

Stadium plans will look the biz

We could see at least 5-6 players moved on this Summer, maybe more, which will swell the "WARCHEST" by around 150m on its own, personally im "hoping" to see around 100m thrown on top of the sales, but we are unlikely to spend 250m on players....
 
Ridiculous amount of transfer speculation which result in 4 out / 3 in .....no big name rumored targets landed / Lukaku sold in final week of August..... Business as usual
