When you look at the figures it begs the question why we’re not doing it?Where do you get this figure? The fee for VdV is around £30m and Leverkusen want £40-45m for Tapsoba.
So signing 1 of VdV or Tapsoba would mean:
Vicario £16.3m
Maddison £40m
Solomon Free
VdV £30m/Tapsoba £45m
TOTAL £86.3m/£101.3m
And that’s before you take off Winks £10m, which brings the net spend down to £76.3m/£91.3m, way lower than what you said?
In fact with both of them the net spend would be £121.3m.
If we sold Sanchez and Tanganga for £10m each and Rodon for £5m that brings it down to £96.3m. Sell Hojbjerg for £30m and replace him with Gio and/or Tongee if they come good and that takes net spend down to £66.3m.
On your general question, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want the club to have a net spend of £100m considering our revenue and how much we are charged as fans.
Surely we can afford it and offset it a bit with sales.
I’m starting to think we could be working on 1 out 1 in and that’s why we haven’t moved on the CBs yet.
