Transfer budget for next season????

[daveyboy40]

I have on good inside information that our transfer budget for next season is apparently 4.5 million!!should be able to build a half decent team for that!!!!

 

[seagullwedgee]

nah, not at all.

if the total budget is in the second qaurtile of the division, then taking wages into account and capital expenditure on transfers etc, I would be surprised if he got more than a net £1.25m.

There will be a lot of free transfers around this summer, I think the true indicator of the clubs ambition will be the money spent of the players themselves - i.e. wages, contract-related bonuses, relocation costs and agents fees.

Still, I like the fact that the rumours are all positive.

How many of these threads are we going to get this summer?

Also can anyone match the most insane one, which was £10m (& another few million on wages) I think?

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

I think we will all end up dissapointed with the money avalable but guss will get it right

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I reckong it will be 2,250,011.89 and not a penny more or less.

Overheard him talking to chunk about the budget for next year!!!

So many people have claimed to have a "source" but the rumours have been so differentiating that it proves nobody knows anything.
I feel many will be suprised by how much we actually spend on transfer fees, due to Gus using the free transfers well, but wages will be spent attracting good players on frees. Wouldnt suprise me if we spend £1m ish on two decent players, striker and one other, and thats it as far as transfer fee's.

These things are easily misheard.

It's actually a transfer budgie for next season to replace the old one that passed away suddenly after Palace's last day survival.

And here he is, resplendent in the Albion colours:

Poyet is the special one!

What I don't understand is why anyone thinks Tony would give a specific budget. He's far more likely to say "who do you want Gus?" then talk about the pros and cons on a player by player basis. Sure he'll have a rough idea how much he's willing to spunk, but there's absolutely no way he'd tell someone like Hinshelwood and possibly not even Gus.

I heard from my sauce that our transfer budget is £1000 and a set of tracksuits.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

what does hinshelwood actually DO?!

If that figure is true, you have to realise that a large percentage of that figure will be used up in wages.

Say you've got 3 star players on £6k a week, thats 936,000.

Then 20 regular players on say £2k a week, thats 2,080,000.

So thats £3,016,000 of the budget on wages alone.

I appriciate we don't know how much the players are actually on but you get the idea..

Say that leaves 1.5m in the budget, we spend 300k on a player and he's on 4k a week, thats 208k a year wages, so 500k total. So you're looking at buying 3 players ish at around 300k.

Obviously it's nowhere near that simple, but the point is, 4.5m isn't an incredible budget. Good and competitive for sure but it's not like we can go out buying million pound players.

when I saw a training session he trains the youth team but also generally keeps the place running e.g when I was there he told gus that scunny wanted mcnulty
