I think if it does happen, Levy will do some wage trickery to keep him under the £100k mark - like bonuses or a large signing on fee to pad out the contract.

I think if it does happen, Levy will do some wage trickery to keep him under the £100k mark - like bonuses or a large signing on fee to pad out the contract.
Also if we sell one or two players thats more money for buying. Reckon we will get probably about 4 players overall and sell 2-3 by the time the window is done. Waynama and Janssen pretty much done is a great start.
When clubs talk about a transfer budget they mean transfer fee plus wages over the contract
So Wanyama will have been circa £11m + £2m pa over 5 years = £21m (not even factoring signing on fee)
Then if Janssen is £17m + £2m pa over 5 years = £27m
Leaves £12m......at which point we'll have to sell or settle for what we have
So when we sell a player does ENIC then factor in the remaining contract value when recalculating the pot / kitty / war chest ?
I.e sold for £10m and had 2 year remaining @ £2m pa so total increase in transfer budget = £14m
There isn't one - other than people hearing transfer budget figures (which are probably fabricated anyway) and then being disappointed when we don't sign someone.
Well... Fuck him then.
I've never heard this before. Source?
Seems a really weird way to balance the books. I cannot see how it could be true :llorisunsure:
I have heard that before in terms of quoted transfer values* in media sources but you are right as in the sense of not used for accounting purposes not least as does not reflect actual payment schedules or agent's fees etc etc.
*Fairly sure no one actually quotes transfer / wage budgets publicly

INTER TO MOVE FOR LAMELA?
Inter Milan are considering a move for Tottenham's Erik Lamela, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The former Roma man made 34 Premier League appearances for Spurs last term, having initially struggled at White Hart Lane.
He moved to Tottenham for £25.8m in 2013.
Ever Banega has just signed for Inter on a free. Erik's on holiday with him at the mo (see the Lamela thread), so you never know how much there might be in these things?

He'll be at some championship team in 2 or 3 years no doubt.
When will they ever learn
i wouldn't sell Lamela. just for an out of this world offer and i mean, Levy money
I can't quite tell if Poch likes him, or is frustrated by him. Be interesting to see, if an offer does come in.
If we sold Lamela and bought Gotze, I wonder what the consensus would be?
i would rather keep Lamela
I think there may be even more to come from Lamela, I reckon he may get a few more goals this year. I love his attitude and still amazed by his transformation.
Lamela is one of our most improved players and can only get better. His attitude and commitment has been first class since he arrived. If we're an ambitious club we don't sell players like Eric Lamela.
