From my understanding we’ve basically had £60m wiggle room to begin with after selling Richarlison. We’ve also got an insane amount of money off the wage bill too. As I understand it regarding transfers we can spend that £60m+ but that doesn’t account for the full transfer fee, just the initial payment that we’d be paying this year.
In total we’ve brought in only £60m of players roughly between Onana, McNeil and Maupay. Although we’ve probably only paid £35m or something like that this year so in theory there’s still money to spend. Garner, Brereton Diaz and Gana are all only reportedly costing somewhere between a max of £30m-£40m in total.
I might be misunderstanding it but I’m pretty sure that’s how I’ve seen it explained. If so we should still have money to spend if we can structure deals right, United will be happy to do that, Gana will be either cheap or free and it’ll really only be trying to negotiate something with Blackburn that could be a problem as you’d imagine they’d want a lot up front to get a replacement in.
i looked at the wage reduction and it’s not as much as you may think. We have lost over l£100m per season and the wage reduction is nowhere near that.
siggy 100k, Delph, 80k Tosun 80k plus Kenny.
let’s say 300k per week. 100m equates to1.9m per week.
We have subsequently signed six players, so I recon were spending more on wages than we saved.
Added to that, there are probably liabilities to pay for our previous purchases. Some of the Richarlison money probably has to go on debt.
Finally, we earned less money because of our lowly league position.
