City are selling Bazunu, Irelands sub keeper who's never played above league 1, for 12m rising to 15. We're looking for 20 for Henderson, who has PL experience and a hugely praised championship season under his belt.

Bazunu probably earned 10% of what Henderson currently does.
This is as exciting as it gets folks. I actually burst out laughing reading this tweet, finally an update.
To be fair, it's the best news we've had yet.This is as exciting as it gets folks. I actually burst out laughing reading this tweet, finally an update.
We is run by eediats tsss.
Well he is available for free and is a flexible forward, i mean he’s good in the medical room or on the golf course
Yes, all relevant as we're the club who gave a sub keeper 120k a week. Anyway I just saw reminder of thread rules above and should probably move this to Henderson thread if needed
£5,200 so ~5%
Too late
20 pages of zero news. The only thread I opted for. Why am I not surprised?
Are we sure that we have "only" 120 million pounds to spend? I mean, is there anyone from the club who confirmed this? even if there is, it means nothing.
We spent a shitload of money in the last couple of years, now we supposedly finally have a chance to start rebuilding a team with a proper manager and he gets less money to spend than some of his predecessors with so many gaps to fill?

There is no such thing as a fixed amount to spend - that only exists in football games. There are so many things that should be taken into consideration.
If we release 5 more players on a free transfers - that shouldn't add to our transfer kitty right ? After all we gave them away for free - but that could save us £500.000 a week in wages - of course that will make it easier to spend more money on transfers.
If 3 superstars become available at £60 million each - and these players tick all the boxes, of course we would find £180 million to save them.
And most players aren't paid upfront - so it's possible to distribute the costs over several seasons. But of course that means less money to spend next season or the season after that.
Im sure there is some sort of budget, which obviously will get bigger if players leave. £120m was rumoured to be our budget for months if we failed on CL. They always threw in the '+sales' caveat, but we're all watching and realising that we'll probably make nothing in sales anyway. This will never be confirmed by a club source but most summers the press seem to know our budget as though its been leaked. You get the odd article that claims we'll spend £300m or something daft but they're rightly ignored.
We don't want him anyway, we have Scotty and Freddy.
Exactly what I meant. If the opportunity presents itself we'll spend let's say 200. Of course everyone wants to spend less, but in this case it's no excuse to back off if someone asks more. That is if ETH is really in charge of transfers and believe in in FDY. The club have the money, no one can persuade me, we don't
And I really don't remember the time when needed more new players than now. The club stated we want CF, 2 MF, RW and RB, plus maybe CB.
Who's this no tick nobody (ffpolo) who's supposedly the source for this?
Seems to work in Spanish media, 40k followers. Everybody is posting these type of tweets so I thought I may aswell.
Any media associated with Barcelona are going to make Barcelona seem "Strong" rather than saying that Barca needs to sell. They dont want Barca to appear as a selling or a weak club. Just be patient lads.
I thought those type of ones were banned in this thread. I can't even find the original story in mundodeportivo or that guy's twitter. Not that it's not there but I just don't see it.
So many posters turning on each other, it's anarchy!
I'm sorry but -
There is no way this club spends £200m in one summer, unless you mean after selling Rashford, Varane, Ronaldo, and AWB, adding those sales on top of the £100m we usually spend spend? Then sure.
The club in fact, doesn't have that much money, we're not a state funded club, we're ran as a business, the finances of this club simply cannot allow for a £200m outlay in one window.
Where is the original source?
It absolutely could in a summer where over 50m as been wiped off the annual wage bill. The club won’t do it though.I'm sorry but -

We'll see. The only reason why we wouldn't is because of the Glazers, not because we are on the verge of bankruptcy. We have the money. If ETH is the man, he'll spend it, otherwise wait for another 10 years before we are threat to CitehI'm sorry but -

The Glazers dissing us doesn't mean we don't have the money.
Just one more thing, do any single member of this forum think Barca will go to bankruptcy? They are backed up by the whole Catalonia and have a formidable youth system at the very least

They may be quoting something he said on TV or radio. I'm not sure, take it with a punch of salt. The guy is meant to be a reliable source though, if he has said it.
See above.
I'm not saying we're on the verge of bankruptcy, but we're ran as a business, and no business can sustain that sort of spending without soon going bankrupt - if we didn't have the debt saddled on us by the Glazers, and were allowed to spend our own money, there may have been without paying out dividends then we probably could (doesn't mean we would).
@Cassidy We've lost 4 "assets" for absolutely nothing, the wage savings are great, but there is no way this club could spend £200m (I was assuming net) in one window.
Outside of the obvious transfer target (FDJ) this is probably the quietest introduction to a transfer window I've seen from United and certainly the press interms of rumours (and bs) spread I've seen in a while.
Gotta bring in that customary back-up GK.
Our biggest transfer stories this week:
- The club used to like Ings but are no longer interested
- We are exploring signing Watford's reserve keeper to sit on our bench
I saw that reddit rate him Tier2. Yeah I'm taking it with a pinch of salt for the moment. I also don't want it to be true.
Perfect. We are keeping our business for ourselves. It should be like that and not a damn clown house.
Yeah, we've either closed shop on the rumour department or we're fecking broke and there really isn't anything to spread...
ETH probably wants things to go really close to the chest and he's keeping it under the radar.
Hope the club continues with this practice for some time and gives him the time to build something to tell about.
Our recent club PR stunts were very cringeworthy.
Spending on signings includes wages and the cost of the transfer is amortised along with wages annually. 50m in annual wages goes a long way to extending the transfer budget if we wanted it to.
Personally I feel, and this will likely annoy the majority on here, ETH will give these players a second chance. A chance to redeem themselves.
I have no beef with him giving away second chances....who knows, he might even make a player out of some of them.
But, i'm quite certain he will bring in one of his former players, a familiar face to incorporate the style of football he cherishes.
A current or a former Ajax player of his is a sure thing.
All our eggs in the FDJ basket, I think.
And, plus, if ETH is as good as people say he is then why shouldn't he feel confident in getting a solid tune out of the players currently in the squad ?
This is the first proper manager we've had at the club in a long time and one that will, hopefully, bring a more structured style of play.
Ings and Bachman, when did we turn into Stoke?
What's with his twitter name ?
