woodsaint1 Posted 31 August, 2022 Share Posted 31 August, 2022 What is going on!!!?!?!? Imagine the scenes if we get Gakpo, Bade, AMN, Edozie and Larios. While at the same time shipping out Bednarek, Stephens, Romeu (disappointing but understandable), Redmond and maybe Walcott. Will there be a striker surprise also? We'll have used up our two loans, but cant rule anything out the way SR are getting on 🤯 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 31 August, 2022 Share Posted 31 August, 2022 So with Gakpo potentially being a fee around £30 million, that would take our spending to £80 million NET, with whatever we are spending on the two City youngsters, PLUS two players on loan with options to buy? Insane if this all happens. 11 players potentially coming in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 31 August, 2022 Share Posted 31 August, 2022 I mean what a summer, let's not forget as well a pretty much whole new coaching team, a new head of recruitment, a decent amount of points from a tough start of games AND we still have Tino to come back to improve the squad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 31 August, 2022 Share Posted 31 August, 2022 If we are spending this sort of money, lets just hope we're doing it sustainably. I guess if the worst still did happen this season, a lot of these would surely not be on that high wages, and would have relatively high sell on value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bonus with signing young players (in the main) is that this will be their first, or at most 2nd pro contract, so they're not going to be on mega mega money. I imagine our wage bill is going to be lower than it has been for many years. Coady Gapko will make a dent in the wage bill, but we'd have the space to do that.

I would say it’s about as sustainable a model as anyone in football can reasonably run. It’s things like chucking £20m at Villa to get 30 year old Ings back on enormous wages which would be the undoing of a club like ours. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if the worst still did happen this season, a lot of these would surely not be on that high wages, and would have relatively high sell on value. Well under Gao (and even before him) it was very much a case of balancing the books with outgoings having to match incomings which we did ok with (could even call it quite successful in the years where our recruitment was on point). Sports Republic seem to very much be of the mindset that you need to speculate to accumulate - a big expenditure up front with the aim to grow the assets for sale at a higher price later. I'm sure they think of it as investing rather than straight up spending money if that makes sense. We won't really know if it's a success for a year or two once some of these players are sold on for a profit which would then presumably be re-invested again. As long as the successes outweigh the flops we should be fine, though there is the matter of the loan to be repaid which is a bit of an unknown factor currently.

Saint IQ Posted 31 August, 2022 Share Posted 31 August, 2022 Should definitely have at least one signing coming in that I doubt is a loan. Won't be officially confirmed and signed today though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
