Midlands Yellow 3,825 Posted April 26, 2021 If all main assets stay could it be around £20/30m? If the unimaginable happened and Buendia left would all the fee be added to the pot? An Interesting summer ahead with exits and signings, hopefully much better than 19/20 to help the club stay up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Move Klose 303 Posted April 26, 2021 Well according to the guys who the pinkun Q&A they were talking around the £30m mark, and players in the £7/8m range. But obviously be much more to spend if a player gets sold on. No training ground, youth, or lots of new contracts to be handed out this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're not far off the £20m spend already with Gibson and Dimi combined, 15-17m roughly? That outlay will be from this summer, it wasn't something we paid for the last summer.

ncfcstar 287 Posted April 26, 2021 Almost impossible to judge at the moment, I think this summer will be the first transfer window where we really see what Covid has done to club finances. I wouldn't be shocked to see a huge retraction in spend across the board, where forking out £10m on a player is the equivalent of £15-20m two seasons ago.

spencer 1970 203 Posted April 26, 2021 Not including Dimi and Gibson, the figure will be £18.25 million based on absolutely nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow and Green 334 Posted April 26, 2021 Farke certainly gave the impression that we would be spending a bit more this season. I understand that isn't difficult to beat last season in the PL, but you get the feeling that Webber will want to get it right, as this is his last season at the club. It really sounds like we're selling Max Aarons. The number of clubs interested - along with reporters (Ma****er, bailey etc) confirming the club's willingness to sell - suggests that it will happen. I would expect a couple of Webbers usual 'loan-to-buy' deals if all goes well and we stay up, as well as a few signing permanently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,455 Posted April 26, 2021 If we sign 5 players (not including Gibson and Dimi) I'd assume a couple of them will be loans, maybe a freebee and then a couple of decent sized fees paid. But we'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that's all unlikely, but it's a long while before next season starts. We can't rule anything out and it's unfortunate that we'll have this uncertainty about the 'crown jewels' until the summer window closes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,520 Posted April 26, 2021 Its not about how much you spend, but the quality of what you spend it on. A loan player or two, a young player or two in, a quality freebie, perhaps a couple of £5m - £10 m players....so not a huge amount in the scheme of things. Quality is what matters.

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,703 Posted April 26, 2021 I was thinking about this the other day and my guess is £20-30m, excluding the fees for Gibson and Giannoulis. This is obviously more than we usually spend, but it still pales in comparison to Fulham, Villa and Leeds in recent years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Raptor 1,178 Posted April 26, 2021 I'd be surprised if we commit to over £15m on a single player. And that includes wages. As an example 4 years at roughly 28k a week is 6m so 9 million on a transfer fee. Having said that if Brentford don't go up we should go all out to sign Ivan Toney and who knows how much that will be! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also had a look to try and find out how much we got for our promotion. In here it it says apparently we got £7.1m in the 2018-19 season and £94.5m last season. Don’t know if it will be any different this time roundhttps://www.planetfootball.com/quick-reads/club-by-club-a-breakdown-of-the-2019-20-premier-league-prize-money/ I was also very interested to try find out how much the parachute payment was. Had a look numerous websites but couldn’t find out how much it was for certain - think it might have been somewhere in the region of £30m, although very unsure Will find out more about how much we are planning to spend this summer once the season is over. It may be somewhere in the region of £30m, or it may be not much more than last time. Don’t have a clue Edited April 26, 2021 by HazzaJet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
