Pardew has admitted that the £35mil will cover both the transfer fees and wages, so if we sign a player on a 20k per week contract running for 4 years that's 4.16 million knocked off the 35 mill, nevermind the fee.
Not looking so rosy now is it?!

Dont forget, we save Carroll's wages, so that's 5 year deal of 30k p/w.
 
Top spot Smudger! Had completely forgotten about that. Hopefully we'll get 50k p/w + some cash back from Xisco also.

And if we were to move Smith on, that would be a rumoured 60k p/w <ok>


on the ploughing the 35m + back into the team i'm sure if carroll hadn't left pardew would have had a summer transfer kitty will he get that as well as the 35m+?????


personally doubt it but you never know

Well if we spend the full 35mil the net spend is still 0, so surely we can go a bit over?
 
will be interesting to see, for all the bad that Ashleys done (and i dont think i have enough space to write it all) he has never taken money out the club like our previous owners, and put it in when needed after relegation (http://tinyurl.com/4gpyr4r) but all that was through necessety. Now we get to see what he does when there is cash available
 
Ireland will be playing right hand side of midfield, stands to reason, Pardew wouldn't let Routledge go out on loan if he wasn't getting a replacement in. That replacement is Ireland. Joey will return to middle alongside Tiote with Nolan playing behind Shola (would have been Carroll), it's fairly much common sense.

Will we also have the £10k or so wage drop Joeys took/going to take?

Pardew said he wanted to relace Routledge with another player (Ireland) so the squad size doesnt go down, not as a direct replacement, we still have Jonas, Barton, HBA, Raylor and LuaLua comfortable on the wing, it would be silly to play Ireland there when Joey's doing so well. Barton is experienced and could adapt to playing wide, no guarantee Ireland will be able to, if he is even asked to play RM.
 
How about Nolan upfront now then? Against Fulham we could have Jonas, Guthrie, Ireland & Barton in midfield with Nolan and pick one of our strikers to go up top with him?

Then when Tiote is back we could just drop Guthrie...


Genius. Pure, unadulterated, badger<badger> approved, genius.

<ok>
 
Surely we will also gain 4/5 months interest on 35mil,which i imagine would be a pretty penny too!!!!

Was it £35m up front though? Guess that would depend on how Chelsea paid for Torres, although it's not as if Abramovich would need to pay in installments (and especially not going into the new financial fair play rules era) so probably was the lump sum.
 
I would prefer 17yr old Thorgan Hazard from french club Lens he is going to be better than his brother Eden Hazard

But let us not forget that we are no longer paying Carrolls wages, so it's neither here nor there really.

In fact, I would suggest based on what you have said, that we could afford to get a 40,000 a week player who costs £30 million!!! Or an £60,000 a week player that costs 26.68 Mil - That sort of spending power looks extremely rosey! Not suggesting that we should of course.
