Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Wouldn't be shocked if it's from our end, with the whole 'ambitious project' part of it

 

Feels like too much for a position that isn't urgent imo.

 

Would be both. I doubt he reports anything with just one source.

It's not in our interest for it to leak, so he was likely going to post anyway. And we may have asked him to add the ambitious project bit

 

we don't know what too much is yet. And its debatable as to whether its urgent. If we can get a top top keeper for a good price I can see why the club would do it.

 

That is pretty fantastic value tbh, Ghisolfi thrives off finding that in Europe.

 

because hes actually 26

*allegedly*

 

I think it's smart me, not gambling on a step up with Patto in important positions, KLD is clearly ambitious and going by what has been said by KS, we are not here to make up the numbers. We need to stregthen the spine with quality players

 

With Pogba signing,Juan's mind is probably currently occupied.

 

"too much" in the sense that £13m isn't pennies, it will be a significant portion of our total spend.

 

Will it? we have no idea how much the board are happy to spend

 

Yes, I'm quite sure £13m will be a significant portion of our spend, I don't believe we're going to spend £200m like some have suggested.

 

I trust the club 100% to spend our budget in exactly the right way. Not bothered one bit about the fees, just the quality of what comes in.

This isn't the era of spending willy nilly on big name players like the last time in this division

 

If he ends up substandard, it's a big outlay for a player than may end up benched. Nothing is guaranteed.

 

The club will know best whether it's an urgent position or not plus they'll know best about the how much of the budget they want/need to use

 

Even if it's 10% of our budget that still leaves a lot of room, unless you are expecting us to spend closer to the 100m mark or below.

 

Sure, all of us on here are just speculating.

 

I reckon £13m would be about 10% of our spend. Who knows at this stage…

 

I think 80-100 spend is realistic. 120 at a stretch.

 

Not a single complaint if the club feel we need a new number 1 like. I’d agree tbh

 

Agreed. And we need 10 players. So its an "average" signing.

Some will be cheaper. Some will be more.

And more accurately, none of us will ever find out exactly what we're paying.

All that matters is we bring in improvements and quality players. And this lad clearly is.
