I would expect we'd spend another £30m or so even if Grealish stayed, and we've still got some probable sales yet. Maybe after that we could have £45m or so to reinvest? unsure, maybe @Czarnikjak can give some detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Still need a back up GK and CB … Alvarez I guess will either sign out of nowhere or go stone cold & same goes with Pape Matar Sarr… Reckon we will sign someone left field if Jack goes as Purslow will want to sign a big name to replace his status… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more you spend in previous seasons the less leeway you have left, unless your revenue increases significantly. See my calculations on how much we can spend in the FFP thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they pumped about £100m every year so far. Problem is that FFP calculations are based on revenue generated by the club not on the amount of money you pump in through shares. That’s why Man City are now being investigated by Premier League as they disguised some of their owners money as fake commercial revenue to cheat FFP. That was back in 2014 mind you, Premier League is more wise now to tricks like that, so no, we wouldn’t get away with it now.

Tony Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 IF we do loose jack. Would like to see us go after Pedro Neto if the chance is there. Think wolves have shown in the past they would listen to the right offer. Gut feeling says it would be McNeil though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I imagine we’ll go all out for JWP now and that will be our lot for first team additions. If Grealish goes, all bets are off the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Buendia plays from the right I'm couldn't see us signing Sarr and Bailey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just said that to a mate. I couldn’t have hoped for a better window if what you say happens. I’m not too concerned if Grealish goes though now. I’ve made peace with it. He’s a great player but I’m fully behind NSWE and the project. With another 100m added to our budget, I really think we can improve the overall team.

I think the club wanted Bailey and Grealish flanking Buendia going into this season. Probably with Ward Prose and McGinn sitting deeper. If/When Jack goes, we’ll go all out for another winger.

But ye, i think if Grealish goes i think we will use that money on a LW and prob MC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 If Grealish goes and I personally think he’s off (prove me wrong Jack) I’d seriously go all in for Cherki at Lyon. He’s only 17 but his stats mirror those of Grealish already. Granted his figures are slightly lower in places but it was strange how similar the highs and lows were. His progressive carries was very high, something which our Jack is top at. Would take a sizeable bid but it would send a statement out to the footballing world if we got him before a so called ‘big’ team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World class players are very hard to find if you aren't a champions league team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A club showing huge ambition with the intent of getting into Europe can often be enough to tempt a high quality player to the premier league.
