Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[PeterWithesShin]

Those Beeb figures are only for purchases. And my figures would have been wrong as I completely forgot about Sinclair, and thinking about it, Chester. So I may have forgotten someone else as well!

[Steve67]

I appreciate that it's the hope that kills you, but I am really optimistic. Up via the play off final! That would be one great day out.

Biggest spenders according to the BBC -

Us : £59m
Newcastle : £57m
Norwich : £10.5m

That's quite a jump from second to third.

No idea how they got those numbers. Assuming today was a swap, I think PWS's number yesterday was around £32.5m with ins and outs.

Add the fees received from Gana, Clark, Sinclair to PWS's net figure from yesterday and today's £7m approx for Adomah and you're pretty much at their figure.

I'm not sure how safe it is to assume that today was a swap either.

If I recall correctly, PWS's figures included sales, so even assuming we paid £7m today for Adomah and gave away Adama (which I seriously doubt), that's still only an additional £7m, still £20m short the BBC number

That's the point - PWS's figures are net, the BBC are just going on fees paid.

So £3m for Elphick, £4m for Gollini, £7m for Chester, £4m for Jedinak, £12m for McCormack, £6m for Adomah, £5m for Tshibola, £11m for Kodjia and £6m for De Last comes in at around £60m.

De Laet was no way £6m.

Well, quite.

They say we've spent €58m. Which given they've guessed at a few fees and the BBC have guessed at a few fees, suggests we're all reading from the same page are we not?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I wish I could get one for one Euro to the Pound, Dave.

Well it may look like  57M on paper but in reality we have spent about only exactly 2M net and that's just not acceptable. It's as if Lerner never went away. Massive let down for me and another window wasted.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

De Laet was no way £6m.

£2m according to the Meaning Evil, E&S and Leicester Mercury. £2.5m according to The Sun.

Give it a few more weeks...

But I'm going to guess that the BBC are working on more accurate fees than "?", which is apparently what Adomah cost according to that link.

[olaftab]

De Laet comes in at around £60m.

OMG  60M for a right back...now we are talking. Just forget everything I said above. I like Tone.

over for another few months, what to do with Richards and Agbonlahor

Surely we need gardening staff at BMH? And someone to rearrange the cones.

[Dave]

De Laet was no way £6m.

£2m according to the Meaning Evil, E&S and Leicester Mercury. £2.5m according to The Sun.

So £54m then. Considering some places reported Elphick as £4m rather than £3m, Chester as £8m rather than £7m and Tshibola as £6m rather than £5m, we're still a fair bit closer to the £59m than the thirty something figure aren't we?

They could don the Hercules and Bella costumes for reserve matches....

Let's be honest, it means no one has to see their miserable faces and it'll be the most work the pair have undertaken in the last 12 months!

Dave, once again, I was referring to the net value. Still, we've spent more than anybody else this window, on that we can agree.
