I think SG is the domino effect, but certainly Coutinho coming on board as well has to intrigue any footballer. We should be an extremely desirable destination moving forward, and that's unbelievably exciting. Hoping the next announcement is Hickey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is exciting only thing that really bugs me is that Newcastle have changed the landscape. Not sure we can compete with that level of investment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Just now, Peter Griffin said: Anyway fancy guessing what out Jan transfer budget is? I assume that with Axel going that a CB is going to join us this window and it appears we are after a FB too. Add Coutinho and Bissouma to that list and we are spending a few quid more than I expected I'd be surprised if we go over £50m. I could maybe see us push to £60m but think that would be about it. AEG and/or Trez would need to leave to spend any more. But £50-pushing-60m net Coutinho is effectively free. (£6m in wages) Hickey £15m CB £15-20m DM £25-30m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we are looking for loan to a conditional purchase as long as he doesn't get found guilty / locked up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Toon is owned by an investment fund that has lots of money, not all that money is for the Toon. There is no amount of money Toon could spend on players that NSWE could not match.

MWARLEY2 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 This is Insania again . If Bissouma did come here then its all over for the Villa. They would have to build a new stadium yet alone North stand. I think this is what acting big looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
