He's still our second best central defender; We do need to move on from him though as he's getting on a bit. But experience wise no complaints.

[Swiss]

Godin (Age 29) being touted as a potential buy now.

I'd be over the blue moon with this one! At 29, still got 4 good seasons in him. Loads of experience. Got a bag load of honours, where do we sign

Contracted until 2018 so it doesn't smell of him trying to win a new contract...
We help him out with one last big pay day, he helps us out win a bag load of trophies, jobs a goodun...

where you hear about this tony?

There's also a story on Sporting Witness but I can't access that at work.

I hope it's true, I can live without Pogba if we get in Godin and De Bruyne.

[Swiss]

It's starting to gather pace in other sources now.

As with all Spanish contracts, there is a release clause: Godin's is apparently E40.

For some reason work have blocked the conversion sites so I can't tell what current market values are, but guestimating Dzeko's E20m is £14m, then that puts the figure at £28m. A Bargain in these climates for a well seasoned CB.

[Swiss]

In other news, De Bruyne has reportedly come out and said "I'm not the one saying I'll definitely stay" which has sparked the red tops into a Frenzy and (As always) Utd are now being linked with him too.

From what I've read over the last few weeks is that we haven't even put a bid in for him yet...

[Swiss]

From what I can see, our Nett spend at the moment is £22m (or £32m depending on below)


Sterling - £44m initial fee (5m dependent so doesn't count atm)
Fabian Delph - £8m
=£52m

As I understand it, Fee's for youth developement don't count... so
Unal - £2m
Faupal - £U/K
Roberts - £8 initail Fee (£3m add ons)
wont count, if they do it's £62m spend.


Sales
Jovetic - £11m (Loan with buy at the end, we know we can count the money now due to the Negredo deal)
Dzeko - £14m
Boyata - £1.5m
Rekik - £3.5m
= £30m

Nett = £22 or £32

De Bruyne = E60m (£42m)
Godin = E40m (£28m)
Total Nett = £70m

[Swiss]

Missed out Sinclair's £2.5m fee.

I estimated at the beginning of this thread we have a £150m "Warchest" from the new premleague deal and the winnings from last season.


Total spend could be (expensive estimate): £62 + £70 = £132m

Total Recouped: £32.5m

Total Nett spend = £99.5m

£50.5m spare, just enough to spend on Pogba

Doesn't look like that one will be happening

Godin to pen new Atletico deal

[Swiss]

Yer, disapointing

Turns out he must have been using us to get a new deal


Come on Sore Burger, pull your fingers out of your Arse's!

As I understand it, Fee's for youth developement don't count... so

Whats classed as youth development?

[Swiss]

Precisely... I'm not sure

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Well aren't you crap

[Swiss]

I just had a crap :-)
