No, I think it will be around 20-30 mil and so 100-150 mil in budget overall.

Ideally, because of our position in the league and assuming we give out the old 5 year contracts, we can sign around five 20mil players this summer. Or a couple more if they are free. So 100mil in transfer kitty sounds about right.

Actually need two midfielders other than Alcaraz. Then, Iro is in trouble...

You wonder what the future holds for Iroegbunam if we're to sign someone like Diomande.

Just for clarity, we are still paying the wages of Young, Doucs, Harrison, DCL, Keane etc. until the end of June.

Would be nice to have a new midfield, everything else we can manage right now.

Super that we got this smashing player. Using FM logic, a shorter contract can mean lower wages than normal or we are making a habit of giving out 3 year contracts at the maximum.

I think it is what you file for every FY. So the extra year is not guaranteed.

If it’s 12 million, a 2 year deal is 6 million per. 5 year deal is 2.4 mil. That 3.6 million difference is another 18 million spend this window (3.6 x 5 years). That’s a decent player.

It doesn’t make sense for the club. It affects PSR by only amortizing the fee over two years instead of 4-5.

Great Championship player. Swerve. Strange rumor, doesn't seem like a Moyes type. Probably started by his agent.

Actual cash not being the issue, I agree.

With the ownership change, actual cash shouldn't be an issue. It's likely spelled out in the loan agreement as well. PSR could be an issue, doesn't seem likely. It would be a 50-100k charge on the 24-25 accounts if purchased before June 30th.
