SaintRobbie Posted 9 July, 2014 Share Posted 9 July, 2014 (edited) Saw that earlier today Robbie Less than half price of Judas and better LOL Let's hope so. So assuming £50m Premier League money goes on wages and new training ground, (hope that's not entirely the case but someone else can do the debts and running costs maths!).... In: £18m for Banana. (Taking away Bournemouths fee) + £4m for SRL + £20m for Lovren + £15m Osvaldo + £30m for Shaw. Not anticipating any others to go this summer.... Total cash = £87m (-£11m) = £76m to go to buy x2 Strikers, Centre Back, Left Back, GK.... Minimum. Plus cover for Fox and an impact sub from midfield akin to Puncheon. Strikers: £20m Centre Back: £15m Left Back: £10m GK: £10m Cover/impact men £15m = £70m Doable! Although this swag is based on fees for risky players and the odd Osvaldo who fails to settle unlike my last estimate! £80 odd million ambitious enough for the likes of Lovren and Spider-Man?! Hell yeah! Edited 9 July, 2014 by SaintRobbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 9 July, 2014 Share Posted 9 July, 2014 £15m for Osvaldo? Not going to happen. Plus we need to manage the wage bill properly. I can't see us being keen to spend more money to increase the wage bill from what we had last season. Doesn't seem sustainable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see us being keen to spend more money to increase the wage bill from what we had last season. Doesn't seem sustainable to me. Don't forget a lot if fringy players on good money left last year as have Lambert and Lallana, two of our four highest earners, as will Osvaldo, our highest earner.

Agreed but we also have a lot of young players that have wage accelerators built into their deals which will eat into the wage space saved.

Hell yeah! If Lovren goes we need 2x CB. I dont think we should rely on Fonte next season, and we need to ensure Jos and Yoshi get as little playing time as possible.

Wiggles31 Posted 9 July, 2014 Share Posted 9 July, 2014 I confess I didn't know who Dusan Tadic was two weeks ago, but after watching the videos, reading the reports and listening to the interview, I'm proper excited about this signing. Seems like the real deal! This is me 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think we should rely on Fonte next season, and we need to ensure Jos and Yoshi get as little playing time as possible. Totally agree with you regarding those two. Jos is an own goal waiting to happen, and Yoshida is a 'mistake a game player' in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lloydie Posted 9 July, 2014 Share Posted 9 July, 2014 Obvious disclaimer about the dutch league perhaps not being as good as the other major leagues. The obvious caviat to that disclaimer in Tadic's favour would be if the league was so much easier, wouldnt there be a few more creative Eredivisie players up there if the defending is woeful?

shurlock Posted 9 July, 2014 Share Posted 9 July, 2014 (edited) The obvious caviat to that disclaimer in Tadic's favour would be if the league was so much easier, wouldnt there be a few more creative Eredivisie players up there if the defending is woeful? As there are not one can only assume he is the mutts nutts. Why? It's all relative. Might be the case that the standard of attacking play isn't that much better than the defending. You're assuming that there are world class attackers taking on weak defences. Edited 9 July, 2014 by shurlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 9 July, 2014 Share Posted 9 July, 2014 Nothing wrong with what he said, it is the reality. If I were Tadic I would be happy to play in the PL, and would know that if I had a couple of really good seasons then its possible a big CL team might come in for me. Downside, we might lose him at some point. Upside, we get a highly skilled and motivated player who knows he will need to do his best to catch the eye, and continue the rep of improving players, meaning its easier to attract the top young talent who see us as a great stepping stone to a top club.
