MisterC 12,270 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 How much of a net spend do you think Pedro will get this summer? Ideally somewhere north of £5m plus whatever we can bring in transfer fee wise. I can see a few of the players heading back down south again and hopefully we can get a few bob for them. If a very good offer came in for players we would like to keep then realistically the club would probably sell. Given his performances this season foderingham would fetch a few million and I dare say Mackay as well. Anyway the point is, we will probably have to do some wheeling and dealing in the summer but other than what we bring in transfer fee wise,how much will be spent on top of that. My tuppence worth is that realistically it's around the £5m mark but I would say we need treble that to properly compete next season rather than rely on English league 1 standard players as we have now Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxi 11,484 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I would say £5m at this point. Ship 2 or 3 players out, get £7m plus to spend, a £3m player, a £2m player and some smart cheap signings and we could be where we want if we buy well. It's simply not going to be enough getting 6 figure players again. I believe the shear number of players we've been signing every window recently has been why fees are so low. Get in 3-5 quality players rather than the 8-10 players we've been having to do past windows. How many players we need next season will depend on situations of Kranjcar, Rossiter, Miller and Hill, also bearing in mind that Hyndman and Toral will be away.

cp9 753 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Massive difference between what we want and what we'll get. £5m is a realistic expectation though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,438 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I think £6 mill would do it. Get around £4 mill for Kiernan, Tav and Waghorn + a couple of others. Whatever the deficit is should be brought in by the board. Probably add another £2 mill in the Christmas window if were really in the mix. It'll be all about how he spends it though. He needs players to settle right away, have the correct mentality and realise they could write their names into history lifting that title.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 £2 million tops. A signing will be made early to encourage ST sales. Them it'll be more of the same. Just hope PC can do it in the cheap better than MW did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 He should get around 15/20 mill of Kings money. Sadly I think he will get around 1/2mill of Kings money and the rest will be ours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 i'D SAY 5 - 8 MILLION WAS a reasonable budget especially given PC's knowledge, assumed based on his experience, of the Portuguese and African markets where there are still a few bargains to be had. I believe salary wise we can compete with Portugal. King has stated recently that the club has shown a profit so no reason not to spend a few bob, well no reason other than the obvious. Will the big Ghanian central defender be his first signing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDFM 3,809 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 No one had a clue, so this thread will soon deteriorate into the usual Board slagging/praising arguments that happen every time money is mentioned on the forum by the usual posters.

raging blue 1972 894 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 problem is you've got to factor in wages - better / more expensive the player, higher the wages. what I'd like to see is 5 really good (for Scottish football) out of contract players as can offer them a decent wage, say £20k a week = just over £5m with no transfer fees required. If we can shift a few like kiernan and halliday then that will supplement the spend, even through a saving in wages Think that would be sufficient to challenge and any more than 5 and it's difficult to bed them all in. look at them across the city - 2 cheapish players from the championship and transformed their team - nullify them as we did the other week and they're pretty ordinary. At this moment if you ask me what positions for the new players, I think it's fairy obvious we need at least one centre back, prob a right back, holding midfielder (if wee Jordan doesn't work out maybe Toral) and a goal scorer (just don't think waghorn or garner have got it). Also maybe a winger or creative mid though Niko could possibly come back to fill the creative slot / wee Barrie could perhaps play there All iffs and buts at the moment and we'll have a better idea once Pedro has been in a couple of months and we see how the team is shaping up. Who knows, kiernan might actually be a good player (ok too far) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

onefootwillie 1,518 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 2-3 million net . I would assume we will sell a few so any transfer fees should include that income .

We don't have a bean They are going to have to gamble within reason at some stage and spend a few bob to make a few bob, for us not to get INto the Eurin,pa for the sake of say 2 M to 4m would be daft for business. IF they ponied up get us through to the league part they would still have time to punt say Barrie and Waggy I certainly wouldnt punt them until replacements are I Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we let Tav and Waggy go it might go from 5 to say 8 but it will be around that mark unless they sell Fod and Baz in which case 15m. Minimum requirement will be a CB or two, proven CDM and a proven striker. For that money we'll have to scour foreign leagues... like Portugal!
