GrahamC Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) No more than £5m in total would be my guess. Nothing more from the Semenyo fee either. As for expenditure we were prepared to buy the Wimbledon LB so clearly there, we do need 2 central defenders if Kalas is let go & a couple in CM to replace him & Massengo. Really can’t see a striker coming in unless someone else leaves, we have Wells, Conway, Cornick, Bell, Weimann & Mehmeti & Sykes to play wide. Pearson prefers a smaller squad & that’s plenty unless there is a departure. Edited March 16, 2023 by GrahamC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRoss Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 I would say a couple of million max. Although we've had a chunk for Semenyo and a potential big fee for Alex we won't be throwing big money around. I just hope we are looking at his replacement now with a bid ready as early as possible as we've got the cash to do that straight away now before teams hold out for more once we've sold him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do I but unless we move one of our 6 or 7 current forward options on, then I just can’t see it. Seeing as we have only just signed Cornick & Mehmeti, Wells has recently penned a new 2 year deal, Conway is our big hope & Weimann is captain, the only possibility appears to be a season loan for Bell, but Pearson has consistently talked him up & I think that he’ll be around the squad again next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) Tough choice, a new player or biscuits. Maybe there is a compromise available?

At least 3 of the above will be on the pitch at any one time (assuming Weimann plays as a 10). 1 or 2 on the bench so things can be changed and at least 1 injured during the season. He may not be seen as a regular starter but he doesn't weaken us from the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that like Mr Smith said,it will mostly be driven by who leaves in the summer.Nige is clearly not a huge fan of loans and isn't afraid to use the academy. Will be interesting to see the next crop youngsters coming through. Tinnion is doing amazing things there.The senior players we do have seem to be having a really positive impact with them too I think that was a possible option if he went to Spurs. Of course we don't know who the Spurs manager will be next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
