I've finally got around to updating the list after a couple of weeks away.
Estimated Sales are £37m
Estimated Spend is £26m
Estimated Balance +£11.9m
Full amounts.What figures are you using for spend? £3.5m for Simms and £7.7m fir Wright? Or the full amounts.
Full amounts.
Thing is Da Silva won't have been completely free, he will have had a signing on fee and agents to pay etc. Likewise Bink's and Ayari will have commanded some sort of loan fee. Very difficult to guage what our actual spend has been.Interesting. I got:
Simms - 3.5
Wright - 7.7
Saka - 1.5
MvE - 3.5
Lats - 0.5
Thomas - 2
Collins - 0.6
TOTAL - 19.3
Vik - £20m
Gus - £12m
TOTAL - 32m
Balance - +12.7m
That’s estimates of fees without add ons. Seems the add ons roughly line up I guess.
Better not tell @BlueSkiesForever. Unless we sell Sheaf or someone like Simms I can't see us splashing out on any more big fees, and I guess we won't spending £2million on a reserve right back after all.This year's incoming amount to 11.33 million
Binks 1.7m
Rodrigues 350k
Rudoni 3.6m
Torp 2.15m
EMC 3.53m
So taking 12.7m balance from last year minus 11.33m gives a new balance of 1.37m we did make 1.395m in prize money for the fa cup, leaving 2.76m
Basically the moneybox is empty if we spend 2.2m on Dovin leaving about 500k remaining.
But as mentioned above there would of been loan fees for Binks and Ayari, money has been spent on Ryton, wages will have increased, we pay rent on The Arena and I doubt our ticket revenue, sponsorship income, merchandise sales cover those costs so we will have been run at a loss and reliant on sales now to supplement income, here's hoping Vik and Gus move on soon!

I still think we’ve got a couple of big signings to come in. That we were willing to spend big on Stamenic and that was seemingly on top of signing Rudoni, gives me hope.Just hope we have enough after Dovin for a quality CM. Unless Torp looks like really becoming the 8 we want.
And DauschNot sure if there will be any more major signings after Dovin. Think the likes of Obikwu, Burroughs, Howley, Tavares, Kai Andrews might have a bigger role to play this coming season.
I’d be really happy if they’re considered good enough but that we tried to sign Stamenic suggests to me that we’ll still be in for another midfielder.Not sure if there will be any more major signings after Dovin.

Agree. Personally I feel we need another midfielder and defender and probably they’re still working on things behind the scenes, but on the flip side I suppose the youngsters have to be given a chance to show what they can do as that’s what we’ve been about.I’d be really happy if they’re considered good enough but that we tried to sign Stamenic suggests to me that we’ll still be in for another midfielder.

Shows to me how important it is that we develop some of our own players, and we have to give the likes of Burroughs, Howley, Andrews and Obikwu chances. We also need to look for more players like McCallum and where possible loans. We can't just sign multi million pound players.
If Robins considers the youngsters good enough then great, that’s good enough for me.Agree.

Is Dausch highly rated?I love that the 5 youngsters are being told show me you belong
Be so great for everyone one of them to be in and around our first team
most hopes for obikwu and Andrews this year for me
Andrews
Dausch
Howley
Obikwu
Burroughs
Dausch is the one for me, another who can play as an 8I love that the 5 youngsters are being told show me you belong

I'll readily admit I don't know how much money we have for transfers. However the fact we didn't add anything in January to get us over the line when Robins said we needed it suggests to me there can't be too much left.As @Saddlebrains said, we have slightly more up front than that because of Rudoni, but I assume we also don’t know the details of those deals so who’s to say we paid all of those figures up front? I’m not saying we have or haven’t but it’s just a consideration.
Also does anyone know if we get any cash from Sky for their extended coverage this season? I could be massively wrong here, just the figure I thought I saw somewhere, but I believe it was a £950m deal? Or was it £95m? (Could be Dianne-Abbotting that one badly) Also, I’ve mentioned it before but we don’t know how much cash Doug is willing to invest personally. It’s not going to be a lot if he does but it’s another consideration. We agreed £4.3 mil for Stamenic so surely that’s coming from somewhere as we already had that lined up?
We simply cannot rely on Howley, Obikwu, Burroughs etc to get us into the prem, if they do then absolute hats off to them, but that’s a hell of a ballsy/risky strategy.

I don’t think anyone is suggesting Burroughs and Howley etc should be regulars, but I can't see the sense in buying a multi million pound player to sit on the bench behind van Ewijk when we have Burroughs, Latibeaudiere and Eccles who can do a job there.
Finally other than keeper and arguably left back i am not sure how what area of the team would be priority. I think we are fairly evenly strong across all positions, so it would take a major upgrade to improve any position.
Yes ,he is very well thought of by RobinsIs Dausch highly rated?
