Even MON has not said that we are looking to bring players in!


Where? Specifically.

There's a lot of things he's not said.  He's not told us the sky in blue, but I'm pretty sure it is!

Perhaps as Harry suggests when Milner's deal goes through it will free up money for others. ie sell Milner, buy from Harry, Harry buys from someone else and so on.


Quite embarassingly, I agree with you.

All the major spending so far has been by Man City, whith that money going abroad.  Often it does take one large domestic transfer to kick the market off, which may well be the Milner deal.

As said elsewhere, if nothing else changes we're already 70k+ better off from the departures of Bouma, Harewood, O'Halloran and Marshall.

Add on the extra 10m we have from the sponsorship deal (or 192k a week) and we're at least 260k a week better off than last year.

If any of those players do leave it just adds to the pot, but there is more than enough money available for wages to get 2-3 players and still be better off (as a percentage of turnover) than we were last year.

If Milner stays, and we cant sell any of the other 6 players

Then there will not be any new signings this summer - due to us having to reduce the clubs expenditure on wages

We may get a couple of players on loan but that will be it!!


Want a bet? I'm pretty sure we will both get rid of some of the players and also bring in some players either way. I'm willing to bet on it and I'm a tight Scotsman.

We've already as paul_e says we've already trimmed £70K of the weekly wage bill (a trifling £3.5million per year) and have something like £10million in the bank from sponsorship. That probably would cover Steven Ireland's fee and wages for the first year. Randy has put something like £20million into the club solely for fees and everything I've heard (from reliable sources rather than some journalist at a newspaper which I wouldn't eat my chips from or from misquoted quotes from our manager) leads to suspect we will see some money from Randy even if I don't expect we'll need it. Now lets be negative and say he'll put in £10million that is now a pot of £23.5million.

I fully expect also that we will see the back of at least three of the unwanted seven. Fulham have been linked with Sidwell at £2million and say he gets £30K per week that's £3.5million. The same will be yielded if we dispose of Luke Young.

If we get rid of Milner that is say £24million plus wages of £2million per year gone. Man City are probably going to pay that and I'm pretty sure that the deal will happen so at a conservative estimate just under £60million will come in. Even then that's assuming no takers for Davies, Beye, Shorey and Heskey.

It's pretty much confirmed that it was the biggest deal in our history. The Nike deal was £10million so we can assume it was at least that.

I can't remember exactly what I myself heard but I did hear something about it being at least £5million per year so it could be a lot more.

Lets not forget that when we're adding up incoming fees and wages saved, we should also include Gardner from January.  £3.5m and I'm suessing £20k-a-week?

Even if she did would she really get much from the Lerner trust which is where Randy gets the money he puts into the club?
