Next seasons budget…

The Situation said:
Suspect there'll be one big sale, perhaps Roefs is the most likely at this point.

I'd also predict a spend of around £100m-£120m ish.

I'd definitely like to see us sign Geertruida permanently but I can't see it happening. He has been underused here this season and will want to go somewhere he will play every week. Disappointing, as he offers PL quality in 3 positions for what would be a relatively small fee, but I couldn't blame him really.


We'd absolutely get £40m for Roefs.

Shit move but hope it’s Chelsea. They’ll pay 50% more.

Will try to get as much as can for fringe players Isidor Adingra etc. 1 or 2 sales may surprise upset a few people.
Irrespective of a Roefs sale we need a keeper Elborg isn't ready and needs games.
Suspect 1 will be sold maybe Roefs, Sadiki Talbi but would have to be good money
I would be absolutely astounded if Gertruida signed permanently if he has a choice in the matter, he will get 1st team football elsewhere easily enough.

How I despair at these posts….. keep these boys unless silly money is offered.
As an example Rory’s gives us an extra 10 points a season…..why on earth sell him to strengthen other area in the squad and lose these points.

This unfortunately great keeper love to keep him ( sorry for the pun )
But money talks in the big boys league

Need another keeper if Roefs is going to be sold. Elborg is not a number 1

After what 3 games wrote off on here classic SMB
 
A striker who can get 10pl goals (or more) is priority for me.
Not yet certain if we have filled the keeper spot
Xhaka will be another year older also
 
Hopefully we’ll keep everyone and add some more quality. Rumour was we could have spent another 60m comfortably last season.

If we can hold on for 1 more season to Roefs and Sadiki we can either push further up the table so they stay or get bigger fees.

I think moving on Isidor, Aningra and Patterson can give us enough spending power. Plus we’ll get wages off of Cirkin, Neil (although won’t be on big wages)

We need as a minimum.

Left back
Striker
Midfielder
Right Winger

I agree , if we sold Robin we would need to buy again . Having said that i doubt even Trafford would cost more than we would get for him and i wouldnt see getting a settled Trafford as too bad a swap ( Although hes a shit he would be our shit and having gained a PL starting spot wouldnt be as vulnerable to offers every year, plus the Mags fancy him and if he chose is it would kill them) .
The other alternative is to buy a more mature replacement keeper and not use the GK position as a cash cow in future as it has the potential to destabilise too much.
We need goalkeeper stability for two years until Elleborg and or Young step up .
We also need a competing left back, a squad CB , a RW and a second forward .
If we were being radical, Roefes, isidor, Mayenda , Adingra , Patto might fetch £80m+ in . £18m Geertruide as the CB , £20m on a GK replacement £30m 'back up' striker & £20m on the right wing is about even money exchange . £60m cash from the board gets us some more young unknowns from Belgium to improve into the LB , DCM, AMC replacement slots plus a couple of make weight mix ups to see how they go .
That would be a canny bit of strengthening for around £60m net , just a shame it would cost us Roefes so early
 
I'd think there'll be no plans to sell Roefs this summer unless a crazy offer comes in. This will give the other keepers time to develop for the following season imo.
 
We'd need to replace whoever is sold (agreed it's likely to be Roefs)

Then we need a left back and a right back, a creative cm, a defensive cm and a striker.

I'd say two wingers as well but I can't see us spending more on wingers unless we sell

Haven't the rules changed since last season though? No idea how well we match up to them but its more based on revenue than a fixed amount.
