theboyangel Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I think we’ll see a few outgoings sanctioned now - with the likes of Wesley and Hourihane moved on. Davies will get a reprieve as he’s injured (again) If the right offers arise, I imagine we’d listen to bids for El Ghazi and Luiz (for some reason) I also think we’ll still bring in at least two players. definitely a centre half and maybe an additional versatile midfielder.

Tayls Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 10 minutes ago, Lord Willard said: From Purslows interview I got the feeling we are done. But now I've analysed the situation. Buendia done before the Euros (33-38m). That was spent no matter what. Bailey we've been negotiating for weeks before Jacks bid came in so that's definitely the ESR money (30m) I get the feeling only Ings transfer is using Jacks money (£25m). Ings himself says said it took like 2 days. Grealish Saga since Monday. I reckon we've got another 70-75m left to spend. Sell AEG (15m), Hourihane (4m) Wesley (Most likely to be loaned out). That could potentially 89-94m left. Nah. Purslow said we needed three players to make up what we lose with Jack; creativity, assists, goals, and so went about getting those three players in. It sounded like teams have been making enquiries for MONTHS that we have been batting away until finally city agree to pay the 100m release clause. They might have said they would be willing to pay weeks ago giving us time to prepare, by going all out for Buendia first of all. No way we have 90m left to spend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you think that they were planning on spending about that much to begin with it wouldn’t surprised me if we had that much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve spent, what, 85m on the three signings so far? Give or take a couple of mill. Not to mention their wages and also the wages for Young as well. There really can’t be that much more going on in terms of incoming. If there is then great. But I suspect there won’t be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but samatta, engles, Elmo, taylor, gone. I’d say hourihane, Wes, Trez wilL probably go too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted August 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2021 I swear some of our fans seem to try and see the worst in every situation. How the hell did anyone hear anything other than we signed 3 players to replace everything Jack brings? So you telling me if Jack stayed we wouldn’t sign anyone apart from Ashley Young? 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't Jacks fee leave us 15 mill in profit? Or -15 mill net spend this window? But yeah, doesn't mean we should go doing stupid business either.

Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2021 Purslow spoke so clearly that the usual rules of reading between the lines do not apply. He said that we have acted swiftly to replace Grealish's attacking output with three strategic signings, and in doing so we have sought to un-burden ourselves from our overreliance on one player. Nothing more, nothing less. It doesn't surprise me that people are trying to read into it something that isn't there. But it doesn't mean there won't be more signings, or that there will be. It was just a factual statement about our recruitment policy. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphil Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 So we spent £100m to replace Jack, but we’ll still have the budget for the plans we had if he stayed. Dean always said a could of quality players, so that’s what….. £60m-£80m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
