Aarfy_Aardvark 38 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 12m seems like a lot for a midfielder like. I would prefer it if we spent that sorta cash on a striker. Does anyone have any rough idea how much the transfer budget is this season? I'm guessing 30 to 40m? Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Norwich close to signing Zach Clough. Could be a decent signing for them. Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone have any rough idea how much the transfer budget is this season? I'm guessing 30 to 40m? As someone said a few pages back, foreign clubs especially are going to raise their demands from Premier League teams because they know the numbers involved in the TV deal. Last season this would probably have been an £8-£9m transfer. Gibbo himself said we're looking to compete this season, and to that end I reckon we'll be looking at £40m...ish. Adding to the equation that some business (Espinosa, Ramirez(?) ) will be done without a transfer fee, I'd be surprised if we didn't break our transfer record on a striker this summer.

stubbzy69 38 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I'm thinking the budget is more around the £60m mark if we secure the No1 options and more £40m if we are forced to go for plan b & c Link to post Share on other sites
pikerman 1,121 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Perhaps nobody has told Sels yet that Mike Ashley's new plan is to offer only zero hours contracts to his players, that might change his mind. Link to post Share on other sites
Middlesborough 12 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 On a side note would anyone have Johann Berg Gudmundsson here? He got 6 goals and 12 assists for Charlton, yes that's right CHARLTON who were relegated to League One. Despite the fact that he was playing in an awful Charlton team he was involved in more goals than any of our players last season. Oh and he was also part of the Iceland team that beat England last night. Link to post Share on other sites

He got a goal and an assist in their 2-1 win over Hull, 2 assists in the 3-1 win over Shef Wed, an assist in a 3-2 loss to Brighton, 3 assists in a 1-4 away win at Rotherham who we couldn't even beat, an assist when they beat us 2-0, a goal against Birmingam, a goal in the reverse fixture against Brighton... these are all decent sides.

estonpidge 1,449 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Everton want him, apparently. Last I heard was that they were in talks with Stekelenburg to be fair. Any realistic chance that he would sign? Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone have any rough idea how much the transfer budget is this season? I'm guessing 30 to 40m? It's a deal rising to £12m, that figure is the absolute total and will include all sorts of other fees and bonuses/clauses depending on where we finish, how many games he plays and other stuff like if he gets international games. The initial transfer fee could be as low as half of that £12m. Link to post Share on other sites

We don't know if Adomah will make the step up though. I think at this point we need proven players or at least those that we can be confident will do the job at the highest level rather than taking risks on Championship/League 1 players Link to post Share on other sites

Well given the choice of playing in the championship with Fulham or replacing Howard in the Prem, it's pretty easy to work out what you'd do :P Link to post Share on other sites

Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,181 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 According to the northern echo we are definitely pursuing the Belgium right back and will match his release clause at the end of the euros. Hopefully we can land him Link to post Share on other sites
