Toonpack 6766 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Net spend around £15m if Enrique stays, around £2-5m net if he goes less if he goes ? Net spend, yes. So we'll spend £15m on players, but I don't believe the £8m we'd get for Enrique would be reinvested. So, the outlay would be £15m, regardless of the monet recouped from further sales.

Craig 6287 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 £5-10m in my mind... Think it'll be a lot closer to £5m than 10 though. We need to be spending £15-20m at least IMO. But I bet we're nowhere near that. As Shearer says we need to spend £10m just to stand still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrossthepond 699 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Less than 10m net, I would say. We will buy this summer - even Ashley knows he'll never get away with spending nothing this time, what with the Carroll windfall - but it will be poorly spent and in positions not needed. And yes, I'm a humongous pessimist, we're going to get walloped 8-0 on Sunday, we'll go down dead last next season and we'll sell everyone until Sammy Ameobi and James Tavernier are our only senior players left.

brummiemag1 0 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 If the club seriously had any ambition to build to challenge for a Champions League place in a few years time then I would expect them to spend all of the £35 million received for Carrol plus another £20 million on top. Sounds ambitious but if we hadn't sold Carroll then I would have expected us to spend £20 million on new players in the summer. No chance, I realise that - he will probably spend £20 million in total, sell Enrique and some people will be saying its a good transfer window - laughable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably bid £20m for someone who's out of contract or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 It is a risk spending big anyway. Torres has been woeful, Gyan was fairly pricey. Bent for £18m doesnt look bad money but that is going to rise to £24m for a one-dimensional player. His goals may well have saved Villa from the drop so in that case its probably well spent. All of them are January window signings though. I dont think i'd want to change things round that much, or risk that much in one window, too disruptive and risky.

Toonpack 6766 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Gameiro should be in our price range, £13m apparently. And yet still fits the "buy with resale value rule". Could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Gameiro should be in our price range, £13m apparently. I've heard Arsenal and Valencia are interested in signing him. Have you spoken to Gignac recently? How long is on his contract? Might have a better chance of signing him given the interest in Gameiro. Then we'd just need a pacy striker to partner him, unless we play Arfa just off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19736 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I think we'll make a profit after selling tiote and enrique on the final day of the transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I reckon we'll get about £15 mill for Tiote. £8 mill for Enrique. £58 mill profits including the Carroll money. I think we can safely say there will be at least a £1 million net spend in light of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Not sure if its me being wooshed now but no one expects the net to be anywhere near £35m, which is all the Carroll money. If he sells Enrique, he'll only spend a percentage of that. £1m net is just over 100% of the fees. The expectation according to this thread is around 40% of the fees.
