Muzzy_Larsson Posted 9 July 2019 Share Posted 9 July 2019 If the aspirations to break the top 6 are real then a quality winger who can hit double figures in terms of goals is required still imo. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fans that are saying we are going all out, the club uses terms more akin to gradually building a successful and self sustainable club. They will have a professional and considered business model that they will stick to regardless of the whims of armchair supporters sat with their cheesy wotsits scratching their bollocks whilst musing over next player video clip or media rumour. ?

You can get away with splurging in a lump if you make profit in other years within the rolling period. It's possible we see this season as the right time to make a loss, invest to grow, basically, maybe intending to sell one or two of these assets next year or the year after if a push to break the top four/six doesn't pay off. Or maybe we're just about to sell Maguire for a world record fee for a defender. Who knows? I think this is pretty much on the money. If everything works out and we get Europa League (or better) then the increased revenue will pay for this summer's transfers, or at least pay for the 'overspend' as far as FFP is concerned. If not then the majority of our squad are young and their value is only increasing, so a single sale is likely to bring in £50m+ and balance the books. Not to mention, we have a lot of unnecessary players in the squad who could be moved on for nominal fees to make a slight dent in that figure. Even just moving on players like Gray, Silva and Mendy would net us at least £30m, not to mention Slimani, Iheanacho, Ghezzal etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Ed Posted 9 July 2019 Share Posted 9 July 2019 I think it'll depend on what happens to Maguire. if he goes for 80 or 90 I can definitely see us going in for a CB for I reckon 20 or so. Bank the rest for free beer and clappers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't insulting the poster I was generalising. This blaset attitude to suddenly finding 30-50 million for another player is a bit nieve I think. Regardless of transfer fee money to be recouped, how much do you think the combined wages of Silva, Slimani, King, James, Diabate, Iheanacho and others are together with all the other players who may be deemed surplus to requirements. Now add the wages to our three new aquisitions and before sales you have an unsustainable business model. Players names are blurted out on the evidence of video clips and media gossip with very little empirical knowledge behind it. 30 to 50 million is spoken of as if peanuts whereas the professionals at our club will rightly scrutinise every million. Business before football and entertainment, it has to be that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysalis Posted 9 July 2019 Share Posted 9 July 2019 17 hours ago, cropstonfox said: Tiellemans signed.so....... weve signed a player we all ready had a Newcastle squadman and a young kid from league one.Now they are ringing RL up saying top 4 !! Lets hope we can sign a quality striker to complement Jamie Vardy and eventually push him for his place.Top half! People forget that Wolves, Everton, West ham and Watford will be strengthening as well. That's before you even get to the top 6 teams. I think you have got yourself into the wrong way of thinking. We already have signed a quality striker in perez. Some people see quality as player must come from a big successful club or something. Perez I see as a Ulloa type signing, not a high profile player but will do the business. His conversion stats are almost on par with Vardy, he should be an excellent back up striker providing he fits into our way of playing. Ulloa was massively underated by a lot of people on here for reasons beyond me (probably his age, as people here are obsessed with age). Hopefully perez doesnt get the same treatment if he performs as well as ulloa did. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed & in my opinion we still need 2 more signings. Another winger who can get the numbers like @henrik_62 has stated. But also for squad depth I think we need another number 8. If either YT or Madders pull up for a few weeks I think we need to have a creative option available to step in. I know people will say Hamza has played there but for me right now he’s still cover for Ndidi. Maybe someone like Callum McGregor? He won’t break the bank but gives our squad so much more depth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
