How do we spend this Chuba money then?

I wonder whether it's a coincidence that we've signed Engel and Lath, around the same time that we've sold Chuba.

Makes me wonder whether the club decided to commit to those deals, knowing that the fees could be covered from the fee that we would receive for Chuba.

After we had sold Tav last summer, we signed Clarke and Hoppe on permanent deals, and brought in Mowatt and Muniz on loan. We then brought Archer and Ramsey in on loan in January.

I have a feeling we'll go with a similar strategy. Sign one more on a permanent deal, two on loan and then we'll see what becomes available in January.

It's the business end of the window innit

Looks like we have a clearer idea of where we are going and what we want.. regarding the types of players etc.

In the last set of accounts, our wages were 108% of our income.

The Chuba money (and the Tav & Spence money) is already spent going towards covering wages for the existing squad.

That's probably because we spend massive amount of wages on loan players.
 
Akpom’s fee is simply balancing the debt money. We will have a little available for wages for a loan or two but I would be amazed if we spend any more money in transfers
 
Anybody who thinks we can sign Archer with the money is kidding themselves.

He'll be going for £15m+ at a minimum, and he'll not want to drop down a division again, we cannot afford to spend that on one player.

We'll probably spend a portion of the Akpom fee on an unproven player who'll hopefully come good.
 
Out of the akpom money I would think we will see one player come in for a £500k-£1m fee and then maybe one or two loans. We aren’t cash rich just because we sold akpom. A lot of it will go towards our current players wages etc.

From what we were told last season. We will receive a first payment £3-4m and we will try to balance that payment with spending a similar amount in the same month. We attempt to match the instalments incoming and outgoing as much as we can through contracts and seasons.

This we should be receiving a lot of Spence and Tav money if payments are say spread over 2 years. They were sold 12 months ago. Notionally we received in a lot more last summer than we spent. At least £22.5m in, £5m spent? even if we counted loan wages it would be around £11m spent in total. There should also be £2.5m of add ons from Tav deal coming I would have thought - Tav was a regular and Bournemouth stayed up.
 
I think we will bring one more CF in if we can. The way Carrick spoke about plans for Josh Coburn suggested to me we might add another. Not sure about the clubs financials so possibly a loan. Forwards tend to be expensive
 
Gibson is looking for another mansion, looking at our squad now regardless if we get a few more in will still not do anywhere near as well as last season.
 
The stadiums looking a bit tatty so some painting would be good, Also some seat cushions on the plastic seats. A new scoreboard that we can see and some half time entertainment.

I agree with those who say we should smash the whole lot on Cameron Archer. What could possibly go wrong with Boro blowing £12m+ and five years’ worth of wages on one striker.

I have since re-evaluated my transfer window approach..

9 ST Ross Stewart - Sunderland- £500k
12 RB Reggie Cannon - Boavista - Free
24 CB Filippo Sgarbi - Perugia - Free
28 MF Kees de Boer - VVV-Venlo - Free
31 AM Chris Willock - QPR - £2m

Coburn, Diksteel, McNair, Payero & obviously the big hole left by Chuba Akpom.
 
yeh, the club has an unlimted wage bill, it is only limited to the transfer fees

People continuing to misunderstand football clubs finances in 2023

Is Reggie Cannon real? We need to get him signed up if so. Along with Bolivian defender Doug Bollard.
 
More worrying for me is our defence and the passengers we still have, mcnair jones crooks coulson. You can’t afford passengers in a promotion season, we need to cash in and get a better right back in then smith for one who’s not exactly great and definitely mcnair who well say no more, coulson even as cover is just unreliable and puts no faith in anyone crooks is crooks he’s good off the bench when 1-0 down but Rotherham is his level not Middlesbrough it’s a club too big for him and his ability that’s the reality Jones for me despite some fans thinking he is great is a player with a poor football brain extremely predictable and looks half arsed the majority of the time. I just think he’s lazy and offers nothing and like I say is easily predictable. Has the odd glimpse of quality but that’s really it you need a ruthless mentality in a promotion season. Every season we have the same weak links still getting regular game time.
