But how can we afford all this? Even if US money is being stumped up, how does this sit with the FFP rules? Can't help thinking that a big sale is about to happen.


Riedewald and Ayew is some kind of swap plus maybe some cash, kouyate is roughly £10 mil and the German is free with a signing on fee.

We’ve released a load of wages, saved some this summer and always had a transfer budget, just not £40 mil. How close we are to how much in wages have left I’m not sure but it looks like we’re under to me.

Meyer is a free signing (except for the 500k to schalke for training)

Ayew is supposedly a part exchange with Reidewald, therefore will be a few million at most expense,

Kouyaté would be about 9-12 million,
So not exactly breaking the bank to get good quality signings and replacements.

Wages are another thing that may concern you but Ayew wasn't on that much and surely even less after relegation, probably 40k
Kouyaté was around 60k
Meyer.. lets say 90k

That's less than 200k a week. Cabayes wages pretty much offset kouyatés and between sako, riedewald and Lee surely that covers the other 2,
All thats left then is possible loans to cover TFM and RLC's wages. and we break quite even.

Note: all these figures are estimates only if someone has more concrete figures please feel free to speak up.

 


The First 90 Minutes Are The Most Important!

Pretty pleased with all 3 of these of they do all come off. All in all I think they are upgrades on what we had last season. Love Cabaye but getting on and RLC excellent but only in patches when not injured. Sako had a good 6 games in 3 years.

One downside is that in January we will lose wilf, kouyate and ayew for a month or so assuming all their teams are in the afcon plus schlupp and souaré possibly. Stupid tournament.

I thought Afcon wasn’t during our season anymore.

It’s the 7th to 30th June!

Thanks Rudy! That passed me by. Excellent news I must say. I'll have a beer to celebrate.

I might even watch the bloody thing now as well!

Plus lets remember its not beyond the realms of impossibility that we do have money to spend and just didn't want to get rinsed.

we may make all these deals for good money then splash out 24 mill on Ings.

why tf must we await intl clearance to sign a German?!?

I hope he's signed something subject to that clearance. I'm still awaiting le hijack.

Does anyone know roughly how long the international clearance takes in situations like this?

Yikes now I've jinxed it -.-'

I did a bit of googling and it looks like according to FA rules it could be up to 30 days...? Happy to be shot down!

Really good hear it’s potentially a four year deal and not a three year.


Always worry with three years on a free that they’ll again run down the contract and leave for nothing.

Sound signing.

Also read somewhere yesterday it was only like £70k a week he was asking for from his old club so maybe it’s around the same he’ll be getting from us. If so and on a free, really looks a good deal on the face of it.

85k I read somewhere (probably twitter ) still OK I think..

Oh god...

Yeah, I just did some googling myself and found this article: [Link]

I'm not sure how common it is for things to be that slow and cumbersome. Hopefully that's a rare occurrence and it's usually a much quicker process.

I was really hoping we'd have an official confirmation that everything is finalised within the next 24 hours, maximum. The wait is getting pretty stressful.
