True.Agent fees & big wages can also affect our transfer budget. Bruno's money may be also from this year transfer budget.
I'm a bit worried about that bolded part.

Should still be enough to sign Sancho.True.

Agreed, but may meant we're only getting one player next window.Should still be enough to sign Sancho.
Still an upgrade to our squad, better than nothing. Sancho is technically like more than 1 player since he can play multiple possession. Probably like spending 50m pounds on 2 players (goal scorer & creative player).Agreed, but may meant we're only getting one player next window.
Just Sancho.
That would be enough for me, I rather we sign 1-2 solid players than 4-5 maybe-maybe not usefull players. For what its worth most of last signings have been solid, whether they are worth the money we paid for them is another thing, but all have improved our starting XI with the obvious exception of James.Should still be enough to sign Sancho.
Pep doesn't sound like a great example to contradict what I'm saying. How much has he spent again since he took over at City?That's a load of shit. The reason our managers keep making changes is because they're not held accountable for making use of the talent at hand.
Pep fecking Guardiola can make Man City play football with Otamendi as a CB, and here our fans believe Ole Solskjaer is some savant who can't cope without two exceptional ball playing CBs.
I think transfer budgets will be lower this summer across the board - many clubs rely on season ticket money for cash flow at this time of year and none of that is coming in at the moment due to COVID.Other than 2013/14 (new change in management bringing problems) and 2018/19 where Ed likely losing trust with Mou and Ole is still a caretaker during January, our transfer budget have always been consistent.
Transfer budget = around 200m per season
2013/14 -- 77.3m
2014/15 -- 195.35m
2015/16 -- 156m
2016/17 -- 185m
2017/18 -- 198.4m
2018/19 -- 82.7m
2019/2020
Mag 87m
James 17m
AWB 55m
----------------
= 159m
+ Bruno 55m
--------------------
= 214m
I imagine Sancho is going to cost 100m minimum, at most 150m.
Leaving 100m for other positions, but more realistically 50m.
2020/21
Budget 200m
- Sancho 150m
------------------------
= 50m
50m can only be used to get budget players, realistically just one player.
I don't think C19 really affected transfer prices that much.
Expect we'll be getting only 2 players for next season, 3 players at most if we play it right.
Extending Ighalo's loan helped a lot but only until next Jan.
