I thought that this could be a fun laugh to look back on at the end of the window, a friendly sweepstakes for our activity this summer:
  1. Number of players sold (incl. F/T)
  2. Number of players bought
  3. Highest fee received (and for who), with a £5m range
  4. Highest fee paid (and for who), with a £5m range
  5. Total fees received, with a £5m range
  6. Total fees spent, with a £5m range
  7. Most surprising sale
  8. Most surprising purchase
  9. Purchase another team made that we’ll regret to have missed out on
If anyone has any other suggestions for options then fee free.

My opinions hav echanged from the interview to less out and in....so

1) 10/12 (should be 15)
2) 4 (should be 7)
3) Henderson/Bissaka.Martial all around the £20/25m mark (should be RAshford)
4) I dont see a huge signing think there will be 3 from four all around £45/50m Antony and Timber most likely (should be Giouri £50m)
5) £70m (should be much more but certain players are going nowhere)
6) £150/160m (should be £200m)
7) No surprises its the 3 above (3rd answer) plus Bailly and a couple maybe such as Pereira and JOnes, Bailly
8) No idea or wouldnt be a surprise but possibly a surprise central midfield signing nobody expected
9) Kamara - think he will struggle for a couple of months though and wont be as big a star as others....its more the case of us seeing we havent signed enough players, still have one midfield position in the pivot occupied with crap and realised there is a quality young player at Villa we could have signed for free that wouldnt have affeced our budget even with the lack os sales

players sold is fairly easy and obvious but I have no clue who we’re buying this summer, other than maybe timber. I’m sure we will spend some cash though.

1- 10 players leave.
2 - we buy 5
3 - henderson for 25mil
4 - 70mil for de jong
5 - 60mil
6- 220mil
7- none
8- de jong
9 - Phillips. Will end up at city and do well.
