Can we have a poll please?

a) less than 30 mil pounds
b) between 30 to 40 mil pounds
c) between 40 to 50 mil pounds
d) between 50 to 60 mil pounds
e) more than 60 mil pounds
 
I say e. Because we're going to sign eboue. And he is worth at least £90m.
 
e

although it depends on any shock departures

I think we'll sign at least 1 top midfielder - 30 million +
de gea 18 or whatever

and a couple more players
 
e) boue

Seriously whats up with these threads

We've already lost 4 squad members for no fee so I imagine it could be quite high this season. 40-50 I reckon.
 
You lot are something else. I'd be stunned if it was anything other than A.

stunned is a bit strong surely

its extremely hard replacing the standard of player we've lost (VDS, Scholes, Neville, Hargreaves) and addressing the problems we've had in midfield on a budget of less than 30 million

de gea will be 18 and Young 15 bringing us over the 30 before we even consider the CM

I'd be stunned if fergie thought the current midfield and cleverly coming back was sufficient to try to narrow the gap on barca

the only way we'll spend less than 30 million net is if we have a mini-clearout as well ( PIG, Brown, Gibson, De Laet, Macheda, Diouf, maybe Berbatov?)

I think barring Berbatov, all the players you mentioned will be sold for around 25m altogether. We wont spend big in midfield. Anderson is developing and we've cleverly and youngsters coming through.

hmmm possibly if pogba or ravel were a couple of years down the line....

judging by the noises fergie has been making (no mention of value) and him talking about closing the gap i think we'll spend big

our wage bill must be down about 400k a week with those experienced players going

i suppose you never know - it would be great to unearth a couple of diamonds but i think he'll buy 1 finished article
 
Hmmmm....well if you consider that De Gea is almost wrapped up that's 17 million gone already.

A, I've said it for a while and I see that a few people agree although if it's not A fingers will be pointed at me quite a lot. :D
 
E

I think (hope) we will invest significantly this summer, especially given the amount of players leaving.
 
Looks like option a is out of the running

Not at all, we will still sell a few players and if fees that are talked about are true, then we will have spend £48m, if alleged Sunderland bound trio go we will recoup £12m and there might be more departures.

Who else do you think could be going/coming?
