Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

[Airfixx]

Wow that's a tough one, I reckon with sponsorship and TV rights plus everything thrown in maybe 80-100m.

As long as the season is completed TV money is going nowhere...

In the previous page I began canvassing opinion in terms of the remaining things such as match-day revenue, NFL money etc. between now and the start of next season....

I only managed to get clock up £12m quids worth but wondering if I'm overlooking any other income sources.

Tottenham generating £800,000 per match from restaurants in new stadium

Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium has left most football fans speechless. With a capacity of 62,000, fine dining halls, various street-food vendors, a Spurs microbrewery and the longest bar in football serving pints in three seconds, the club has really put in the money to impress.

5 home games remain. 800000 x 5 = £4m
+ NFL games x 2 = £4m
+ NFL matchday revenue x 2 = £1.6m
+ Lady Gaga + GnRoses gigs (Presumably rescheduled so not lost revenue; just delayed.) = £0

= £9.6m lost.

Obviously there'll will be additional stuff to add to that I've not considered.... Anyone care to add to that list?

Talk the AJ fight will be moved to a smaller stadium, so that could be another big loss

So lets guess based upon the NFL we hire the stadium out at circa 2m a pop....

That takes us to £11.6m

....Anymore for anymore?

When there are club employees in danger of losing their livelihoods due to the pandemic, I do not want us to spend £50m on a player.

I don't think there is a snowball's of any club anywhere spending that much.
The public reaction would be severe.
I'd be surprised if there were many £10m plus transfers even for the likes of PSG.

Naive....

Subject to the season finishing with TV money in tact, I think the richest leagues will have been over-estimating how much they'll have lost in revenue.... Let's go large and say it'll be £20-30m each club..... That's a mere blip for clubs that routinely spend 1 or 2 hundred million every window.

The main things some would site as reasons to sell Lamella are the same things that could equate to him being tough to shift.

Oh definitely, no one in their right mind should try and pay money for him but we should be trying our best to try and get someone to do so.

Prediction: Do you think a buyer WILL be found?

Reckon a team in Italy would go for him but doubtful at the price we’ll want.

Is that a "no" then?

It is a good question you posed, I would expect attendance figures to be down for a while until this virus is under lock and key in as much as it can be.
I reckon it maybe a season or two before the club invests heavier, but that applies to all clubs even Barcelona have mentioned it has affected them and they are top three in the world.

I couldn't begin to predict when the crowds will be allowed back; I'm just trying to deal with what we can safely assume.

I think the 2 big Spanish clubs are interesting though, considering their funding relationships with the state.

It’s a how they hell would I know but IMO I reckon some clubs in Italy would be interested and we should be doing all we can to get rid

Yeah I think Madrid get bailed out by the government really dodgy, as for the effects I reckon the financial report when it's published will be interesting.

Today's front cover of Barcelona-based rag Mundo Deportivo

It says "Valued - Barça put a price on their transferable players in order to sign targets, especially Lautaro"

Can't say I have semi-hard schmeckel over any of them to be honest

Pricetag for Semedo just doesn't add up to me.... 50m makes him one of the most expensive FBs ever yet he's been in the offing as far back as last summer... Just how good can this lad actually be? He was mooted at 30m back then too... One year less on his contract and still not nailed his spot yet he's now 'worth' 50m? Good luck with that....

PSG are already offering that type of money for Icardi. Them and City will keep on spending their blood money.

Much rather go along with this point of view than a journalist who hates spurs

Poor Erik. He's been with us for nearly seven years and still nobody can spell his name.

At least our "Eriksson" days are finally in the rearview mirror.

 

[Thin Lilywhite Duke]

Is it a painful decision? For me it’s a easy and correct one to do.

Well, painful in the sense he's a hard worker and is proper COYS at this point. More painful than cutting Serge loose, certainly.

I really hope that's the case. We're a well-run club financially - I think we could easily make a calculated risk to spend a little money this summer when the market has taken a hit and players, especially young talent from the lower leagues, is much easier to buy than in the last few years.

However, it may go against promises we've made to banks regarding our loans.
