Transfer Budget: How Much Would You Be Happy With?

GrandOldTeam · May 12, 2008

Been much talk about how much we will/should have for the summer, how much do you think Moyes should realistically have to spend on incoming players (including McFaddens transfer fee and excluding any transfer fees received for current players).

Vote away.

as much as is needed. not a penny more not a penny less

working it out every year with what i expect it to be, this year after the pienaar deal i think theyve got £27million left. And thats how i go to sleep at night

I am with Reidy here, I think BK will get who Moyes asks for, rather than give him a set budget. Saying that, I have voted for 20-25mill.

Id say 25-30 million, that should get about 3 or 4 good players and one great one - ish

I'd go with that. Think we need more but that goes without saying really, still with that kinda cash available we should be able to match our accomplishments of this season without being overtaken by the chasing clubs.

Will it get us into the top 4 though? We stand a good chance if injuries are few the players perfrom all through the season.

Where's the money gonna come from though, does Bill have it?

Gazdalf · May 12, 2008

we will get 25-30 mill as a ballpark, but Bill and KW will find more if The man requires.

Myself. I want to vote for half a shekkel for an ex leper.

It would be wonderful to have 30m+ to spend. Personally I'm happy with the club the way we are and would hate it if we had to sell out to a Russian, American, or Thai. [Poor language removed] that.
Kenwright and Moyes for me, we are a proper club with a proper Chairman who is a fan and a proper manager. Right now, we are the best of all the proper clubs.

I've voted 15-20m, due to the fact Moyes hinted at signing bosmans in one of his interviews so, I'd be happy if we had 15m-20m to spend, on top of not letting anyone leave at present.

Blue Wiz · May 12, 2008

Happy with £20M-£25M, hope for more though... anything less is, in my eyes, a shame. We are on the verge of becoming a great force in England soccer again and if that is blocked by the board due to lack of funds for transfers it's a huge loss and a travesty.

didnt the sultan of brunei once show an interest, way back like , before all the plc's etc i'm sure he wanted to buy off carter.
i reckon we should find a way of convincing mr. gates that he was born one of us.
so that he'll invest on a personal level as opposed to a corporate one , convince him that its his destiny and windows was just a stepping stone on his road to fulfillment.

I would be ecstatic with with 20-25 million as i think this will fill certain gaps with quality. I dont think we need whole sale changes just three quality players with that amount would make a big diference.

Not forgetting i would expect more to come in through the loan route we have utilised so well in the past.

I would be satisfied with anything over 15mill.
