Transfer budget for next season
« on: April 10, 2012, 04:01:24 PM »
As we've touched on transfer budgets in other threads, what do you think the amount will be?

I'm going for £6m, based on McDunderhead's quote that it would be 'a few Bosmans and a couple of players around £2-£3m'

Tuppence ha'penny.

I can't see anyone of a decent calibre wanting to come here unless we can pay good wages. So we will have to scour Europe and find some bargains (which we seem to be doing). I can't see how buying up half the Dutch league is going to help though.

15 million.

Edited to add, that will be the net spend.

I imagine it'll be something like £12m or that. Surely they recognise the gaping holes in our squad? To stand still you have to spend no matter how good your youth players are.

I really have no idea but have gone for £10m - £20m net.
There will be a number of bargains I'm sure but that's O.K as long as they are capable players.

A lot depends on who is leaving I suppose.

I have a feeling there will be an influx of bruisers from Scotland.

I reckon about £10m, plus whatever we generate by sales.

Yes, I would imagine he's been examining the shit that's available north of the border.

But enough about the proposed Celtic friendly!

Whatever we generate from sales. Or perhaps a percentage of that.

Net spend or total? Picked 0 - 10 assuming it was net.

I reckon it depends on who we sell and where we finish, but no more than £10M will come from Randy

Whatever the budget I don`t want that ginger tw@ to spend a penny of it tho >:(

At the moment I'm going to go with between £3-£5 million net, because I'm feeling negative.
