Spiritwalker Posted 29 June 2019 Posted 29 June 2019 With 4/5 additions this window we would arguably have our best squad in my living memory, if everyone is happy to stay then it makes sense not sell any key players this window. We now have handful of players with a market value of over 50 million that could be sold in future Windows if we need to balance the books at a later date.

Ha ha well considering we have the Sultan of Brunei’s nephew on our books then it maybe a cash injection from his uncle ?
st albans fox Posted 29 June 2019 Posted 29 June 2019 I’ve always thought that we would try to spend big this summer with a view to recouping next if necessary..... perhaps in two....... but if we continue to buy well then we should be well placed 20/21 or 21/22 to sell asset(s) and still be in a great place ...... I expect Brendan wants to have a go with the strongest squad he can and then review where we got to ..........

I have wondered to myself whether this Maguire not for sale stance is to boost the transfer fee by another 10 mill and that behind the scenes they know they will accept a bid. If they aren't going to replace the spent money with a big player sale, then I don’t think we need to worry. King Power would fund it if anything went horribly wrong. Luckily they’ve built a club model that makes it a lot less likely for us to go down. @Babylon is right. We may well spend £80m net this season but if we do you can be assured the books will be balanced next season. Bottom line is we're good for about a £30m net spend every season so if we extend ourselves this season the books will have to be balanced next season. My guess is we'll get Tielemans, an expensive winger and maybe two or three young players who come in to boost the squad like James Justin and maybe another MF in the mould of Tielemans or Maddison. We will probably sell Maguire to fund this spending and balance the books.

I was hoping we’d get che adams from Birmingham but looks like he’s going Southampton. I can't see us getting a striker in while Vardy is still getting 15-20 goals, we will just gamble on his fitness and Iheanacho's form. Once Vardy slows down and becomes a more peripheral figure a la Morgan, I thinks we'll go big on somebody. Right now, getting top players in behind Vardy who can chip in with 10 goals a season as well as allowing Vards to knock in an extra 5 should be our aim.

IF we are going to do it then now is the time. Good squad, last year of having a 20 goals a season striker, some players will want to move soon enough and you have three of the big six in a bit of a mess.

I'm guessing your not 4 years old Better in terms of Legend - no Better in terms of ability - likely I personally have never been more excited for a season to start. If we manage to sign Tielemans, hold onto Harry and sign a RW with 50% the impact Mahrez had, 1-11 that team could compete for Champions League. We just need to improve 12-18.

I've said it before, that this is the year to stick or twist. It's not been clear yet that what hand we've got to play. But if we're going to gamble big to achieve a Euro place then given the other clubs struggling or likely to struggle, now seems to be the chance to go for it this season. If the income we can muster from a possible decent Euro campaign balances the books, then we do it. Worse case scenario, we gamble it doesn't work, we sell a couple of high-profile players for silly money to balance the books.

I just know what’s coming if we spend £80/£100m.... there will be huge numbers thinking we will do that every season and they will moan when we flog someone for £60m and only spend £20m.

I wouldn't throw your money away mate! .. Better off putting a fiver on Harry Kane to win the Grand National.

Better off putting a fiver on Harry Kane to win the Grand National. I can't see us getting anybody else in, and if that's the case it's a necessary gamble. He'd be better out on loan in my opinion with someone like Sturridge coming in, but I don't think that'll happen. If anyone can sort him out, it'll be Brendan. Also, we still have Slimani on the books.....

Right now, getting top players in behind Vardy who can chip in with 10 goals a season as well as allowing Vards to knock in an extra 5 should be our aim. We have the same problem Tottenham do. Both of us play one up top and whoever we buy isn't going to replace our top striker so whoever comes here is only a back up to the main man. I see a lot of people advocating the likes of Che Adams but he won't get in the team and there is no guarantee he's better than Iheanacho. I think there is every chance we don't buy a striker and BR will put his faith in Iheanacho as Vardy's back up. If BR thinks this is the best strategy I for one won't argue otherwise. It's a big season for Iheanacho as he needs to prove he belongs at this level as there are doubts about him. He can't keep living off his reputation that he gained as a teenager when he won the Golden Shoe in the U17 World Cup and was the most prolific striker in PL history in the metric of minutes per goal whilst at Man City.

Luttfox Posted 29 June 2019 Posted 29 June 2019 Keita Balde? Keeps being linked with a premiership move, seems to be available from Monaco for about £30m. Maybe its a double deal with Tielemans hence the hold up?

You would think Arsenal’s last priority should be an attacker with the state of their defence!
