Hehe, Sarni still thinking we can't and won't spend big unless we sell of some players to balance things out.
Prediction of United's net transfer outlay this summer
- Thread starter Polaroid
- Start date
IF and I stress if the 3 transfers reported have happened, then we've already spent £55,000,000 and haven't bought a CM yet which is our most important signing and reasonable to guess would be the most expensive. Our total would exceed £70,000,000 at the least if we do sign a proper CM.
The £12,000,000 we get back from the trio again if that's true, we've still spent over £58,000,000, I can't see us selling enough players to bring back another 30 million to get us back under option A.
Haha, I was so wrong.
Based on Skysports reports
Jones 16.5 m
Young 16 m
de Gea 17 m
Net total 49.5 m
Based on BBC reports
Jones 17 m
Young 17 m
de Gea 18.9 m
Net total 52.9m
More movement, both departures and arrivals, expected ahead
Most likely departures are Kuszczak, Brown and Gibson which should bring in 12-15 m
A new centre midfielder would probably cost upwards of 20 m
Option d (50-60m) would be a good bet, option e (> 60 m) cannot be ruled out too

But you are happily wrong, as are many United supporters
SAF has always planned long-term and he more than anyone else knows this is the summer we must strengthen or risk being overhauled by our domestic rivals even before we can dream of conquering Europe again
Smart investments in the squad to ensure continued success on the pitch is necessary for strong revenue growth off the pitch, enabling further investments to consolidate a leading position - a virtuous cycle.
Wait that means I could still be right. With O'Shea, Brown, Gibson, PIG, etc. expected to leave we might just spend less then £30million.
Looks likely that we'll be way into option 'e' if we do sign an established midfielder.
Good times. But it was neaded considering the amount of players who have recently left.

Provided departures bring in more than 20 m and there is no more arrival
What are the odds on that?
Net spend for the summer will be +- the 60M mark, IMO.
We can expect a inflow of about +-20-25M worth of departures and another player signing in the 25-30M region. All down to estimations and guessing obviously.

I agree with this..
I could see us moving these players on:
TK-5
Brown-3
O'Shea-5
Gibson-4
Diouf-5
Approx figures..
You think Diouf is worth more than Gibson? feck.
Worth more? Never.. I think Gibson is very under-valued in the 12 million Valuation..
Gibson, O'Shea and Brown will cost £12m if reports are to be believe, I expect us to get £5m for Kuszczak and possibly £3m for Diouf. It's not unthinkable that we will offload Berbatov as well and he will be £12m+.
I still think I'm going to be right.
Diouf has to go I think, around £3m. Berbatov might go as well and he'll be £10m+. I cannot see anyone else from the main squad leaving, some youngsters perhaps but it will be insignificant amounts.
Do you think we will be making any more signings after de Gea? if so, in what positions, the possible candidates and potential transfer amounts?
Good luck with that.
£60mil
I think it'll be it, Gill and Ferguson both said there'd be 2 or 3 transfers, Gill said that he'd be going on holiday once he sorted them out. I think we might add a midfielder but I don't think we will. Someone will no doubt slag me off soon for saying that but I cannot see a realistic midfield target that we've been linked with more than a few times, except for maybe Rodwell. Modric and Sneijder won't be here next season.
