CB Fry Posted 2 July, 2016 Share Posted 2 July, 2016 I cant see anything different than £13m or so being our absolute limit again Nah. £20m is the new £13m. We've already got more £10m players than Stoke, Palace, Leicester, Watford pretty much whoever you want to name really in our peer group. Maybe even Everton. We'll continue to lob cash about as we have done for the last five or six summers consecutively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 3 July, 2016 Share Posted 3 July, 2016 Dortmund having a sly dig on breaking that news “After intensive discussions, BVB has complied to the wish of the Armenian national team member; to join the fifth-place English team last season, Manchester United, for the new season.Borussia Dortmund wishes Henrikh Mkhitaryan all the best for the coming season in both the Premier League and in the Uefa Europa League,” I think this probably puts our sale into perspective, when Champions League Borussia Dortmund who play in front of the largest crowd (on average) in Europe can't stop their players moving down then it's no surprise we can't. It's madness. Just looking at the prices being rumoured today £100 million for Pogba, Man City going to pay £90 million for Suarez who is 29, £38 million for Mauro Icardi who scored 16 league goals last year and has just 1 international cap. Hell even £28 million for a player with just one year left on his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW5 SAINT Posted 3 July, 2016 Share Posted 3 July, 2016 If Palace can put in really high bids for players I don't see why we can't, that's what I'm basing it on and the fact that he's surplus to requirements at United. There's no need with the tv money to be shopping in a bargain basement so why not? Maybe try for Morgan too. Because palace have far more ambition than Saints............

babyblue Posted 4 July, 2016 Share Posted 4 July, 2016 Musa to Leicester- £16.6m. Mahrez replacement? Is there any reason we can't sign a player without him being a replacement for one of our good players? The signings of Musa and Mendy are to improve the quality of the squad and not as replacements for Kante and Mahrez. He will be more of a replacement for Kramaric who has already been sold. He'll cover the wing and up front. We needed another pace merchant who can fill Vardy's shoes now and again, we can't expect him to play every game. Plus we'll lose Schlupp and Mahrez to AFCON in Jan, so we'll need him to cover the wing then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 4 July, 2016 Share Posted 4 July, 2016 £27m rising to £31.5m. Wonder what targets need to be met to get the £4.5m extra. Europe? Spending that sort of money on a player, EL is the very minimum you should be expecting. Football has well and truly gone mad. Wonder if CPFC have agreed to up his £120k a week wages? If it is a 5 year deal, then this is going to cost them over £60m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 4 July, 2016 Share Posted 4 July, 2016 What if Morgan was available for that sort of money and he was open to coming back Still no. Can I ask whether you think a club our size can still be sustainable by handing out £30m wage deals to £30m signings? And I do wonder about the harmony of the group. I cannot imagine that CPFC will have a lot of content players if/when Benteke arrives earning twice to three times as much as everyone else.

And I do wonder about the harmony of the group. I cannot imagine that CPFC will have a lot of content players if/when Benteke arrives earning twice to three times as much as everyone else. In fairness they are probably used to it by now what with Adebayors wages last season. Huge amount of money but will probably score a load there with the palace wingers. Hard to judge what is a reasonable transfer fee norm now with this new to deal. Perhaps we will end up spending over 20 m on a player this summer but I sorta doubt that happening with the way we are run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shance Posted 4 July, 2016 Share Posted 4 July, 2016 We can afford to splash up to 30 mill on a fee absolutely no doubts there. Wages would be an issue but I honestly think our wage cap is why so many players force their move. Anyway, I think Bony would be a cracking signing for anyone who has the balls to go for it. He'd cost about 25 mil imo and be worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 5 July, 2016 Share Posted 5 July, 2016 Whilst yes I'd welcome either Benteke or Bony, I suppose strikers is where we are pretty well stocked, unless Pelle goes. I'd also reckon we are banking on Austin being as potentially good as both, in his one season in the prem he managed 18 in 35 for a poor team. Bony managed 26 in 54 (over two seasons) for a better Swansea side and Benteke managed 42 in 89 (over 3 seasons) for a poor Villa side, so their prem goal ratios are pretty similar, albeit they are different sort of players.
