Matthew Le God Posted 5 July, 2013 Share Posted 5 July, 2013 He used the word "if". Quite, but people can't read. I'm fully aware he said if. But my question was why he used that figure. Pochettino has already confirmed the players he is interested it, and that indicates the remaining budget is in excess of £30m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olallana Posted 5 July, 2013 Share Posted 5 July, 2013 If we have a remaining transfer budget of £30m and blow £25m on this guy, is he still a fantastic signing? IF he scores 30 goals so yes he would be seen as a fantastic signing. (just a point that the "ifs" is the wrong way to discuss things IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minty Posted 5 July, 2013 Share Posted 5 July, 2013 MLG, you seem to be trying to reduce things down to black and white, when clearly our transfer activity is anything but. MP has confirmed we have looked at some players. Our budget may well be variable, and it could be that we were looking at a couple of £4m players to join Damiao, to match a £30m budget, or we might have lots more than that. Then there are the instalment and bonus packages to consider which aren't part of the initial fee, not to mention the fact that the budget may only be for those initial fees, or it may be a budget for all the fees and future payments. Bottom line is, we haven't got a feckin' clue, so trying to pick people up on tiny details of what is clearly quite a fairly general discussion where no one can actually confirm actual figures, is a bit pointless IMO.

(just a point that the "ifs" is the wrong way to discuss things IMO) If we improve and win a lot more games and he scores 6 I really don't mind, sum of parts and all that, look at Bayern.

Team result is more important than individual goals. I agree. And that´s what Ramirez gave us this last season, but that didn´t help his reviews amongst a lot of people on this board though. (Not that their opinion are important but still) Just wanted to make the point of using "ifs" in discussions really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggles31 Posted 5 July, 2013 Share Posted 5 July, 2013 I don't get the 30 million malarky, did that come from the mirror? Its obvious no one knows what our budget is and if anything its higher than 30 given the confirmed links we have. Why in gods name would a football club leak its transfer budget amount, that would be totally idiotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 5 July, 2013 Share Posted 5 July, 2013 It's a £30 million warchest. It was in the paper and for some reason a few people are taking it as gospel. No one except a few people in the club know how much we have to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 5 July, 2013 Share Posted 5 July, 2013 Napoli are a pretty impressive club, and probably the richest Italian club at the moment (although that's not saying a great deal!). Although I'd personally say that the Premier League as a whole will offer more of a pull than Serie A. It's not the league it once was, full of match fixing, drag sandals and the big clubs running out of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These articles are so similar to last year, just replace Damiao with Rameriz and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Reckon we've pulled out all the stops to get him. and NC's record on getting ''big'' signings (in our respective leagues) over the line is pretty good to say the least.

Not much competition in reality as it stands. Even if they sign two of those players, they'll only have three strikers if Dzeko goes. Any title challenging side needs four realistically, so I imagine Dzeko will stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naples today made an attempt to understand the situation, the situation of Edin Dzeko. It is currently not on the market, and this is a cold shower if frozen for Napoli. The City is looking for one or two alternates, they can not sell it even if they are treating Daniel Osvaldo. The alternative to Dzeko is Leandro Damiao. Today there were new contacts to arrange meetings in the coming hours. The agent of the Brazilian was about to close with Southampthon but the inclusion of Naples has held the whole. The most difficult tracks Jovetic, Gomez and Lewandowski. Looks like Napoli have been told Dzeko is not for sale so have moved on to Damiao, however they are also trying to get Gomez & Lewandowski so perhaps he is still far from their first choice.
