Player Valuation: £90m
Think Pickford will be brilliant signing,if we actually do sign him,how many players have we signed before they have signed on the dotted line lol
What is with people's agendas against Schmeichel? Looked like one of the best keepers in the league and the CL this season to me.
Wonder if people's opinions would change if he was young and English.
I'm hoping for a net spend of 90/100 mNobody would be happier than me if we signed 6 (and I think that is the minimum we need) top class players in their prime and in priciple I don't disagree with your position, I'm just not sure it is practical. If we sell Ross and Rom we will have £100-120m plus whatever we would have had to spend anyway. That makes (for arguments sake) £160m but we now need another 2 players to the 6 already mentioned, that gives us £20m per player which in today's market is not what top quality players are going for (we will probably generate another £20-40m by selling other squad players but we will also need to replace them as we have a very thin squad).
Personally, I would be happy to see 2-3 genuinely top class players supplemented with some young players with great potential and some solid pros with premier league experience. It's not as sexy as some people would want and it may mean that 5th or 6th would be our target for next year rather than 4th but I think it is achievable and, if done early enough in the window, would make us look like a proper professional outfit (which has been, and remains, a problem for us). I do worry about how we are going to replace Rom's goals though.

Plus about 60/80 million in outgoings.
Pickford if true 17
Keane 30
Koubailly (or that ilk) 50 m
Siggy. 30
That's leaves about 40 m or so.
So Rooney and one top notch striker or Tielemans and Dolberg
Mosh it's time to deliver on your promises
I hope you're right, I've just been through too many windows expecting a Rolls Royce only to end up with Ford Mondeo! To be honest a net spend of £40-50m would be fine if we raise significant funds elsewhere. What is for sure is we can't have a summer like last summer.I'm hoping for a net spend of 90/100 m
Plus about 60/80 million in outgoings.

He is English. In every way other than his passport he is English. He was brought up on England, uses English as his first language and has only ever played football in England. He's a perfectly adequate keeper he's just not at the top, top level and at 31 isn't going to improve from where he is now.What is with people's agendas against Schmeichel?
