You genuinely think we'll make two signings worth 10 million+.. on top of the 6 million we have already spent?
Ki
Britton
Fer
Cork
Fulton
occupying 2 roles..
Gomis going..
that leaves us with McBurnie and a makeshift Ayew. |
Yes, I do.
We've spent £6.5 million on Fer and VDH.
I doubt if Liverpool have paid us in full yet for Joey, so we may have to only pay £6 million net for him, so I can see us spending £10-12 million on our number 1 striker and £3 million of on a back up, bearing in mind we also have Ayew.
We've sold Eder for £4 million, Paloschi for £6 million +, not forgetting Gomis' ridiculous wage bill soon to come off added to a loan fee for Bartley and Grimes and possible sales of Emnes and Ki (possible £8 million in total).
The result would be a net spend of £9 million give or take (although I feel we need a RB too), very much within our finances given the £100 million received from TV money.
Hardly expecting too much. [Post edited 19 Jul 2016 10:29]

This probably won't be popular but I don't think we should be spending £14m on Allen when we need to sign two strikers.
I actually think Ki at his best is a better player than Allen although I do concede with Ki that rarely happened last season. |  | | |

The thing that worried me about Joe during the Euros was that hewas so fired up, I thought he was going to get booked more than he was.
Over a season, I think that aggression would backfire.
Plus as you say, given the choice our biggest weakness is up front not midfield | | | |

I don't think we need two strikers but we desperately need one. | | | |

I do, I'd prefer Ayew as a third choice back up if we're struggling. I don't think he works as a striker. | | | |

Really?? I think he showed last season that it works quite well and is his best suited position for us |  |

I don't think his first touch is good enough and he lacks the positional strength to be a target man.
Plus he works much better when he's arriving a second or two later to the box, rather than already being there. | | | |

He looks twice the player upfront than out wide IMO. |  | | |

What like Michu used to? | |

The thought of spending £13m for Valencia and £14m for Allen is a really, really scary one. If they came at half that, then maybe ok. But for those premiums, id hope we laughed at the selling clubs |  |

Yes but as I stated earlier, they massively overpaid for him, (general concensus at time). | | | |

£15m even a few years ago was worth way more than it is now to clubs.
They massively overpaid us for him then. It's not too much for him now. | | | |

isn't he on around £100,000 a week. No way would we pay that to a loanee plus the loan fee which wouldn't be cheap | |

Gomis rumoured to be on 82K, since when did Middlesbrough get rich. | |

Gomis wages include a big signing on fee which is why it's so high same as Ayew.
No way would i want us paying £100,000 for Negredo and i doubt the board would pay that | |

This Valencia rumour rumbles on, and I wonder how a team like West Ham are in a position to value a player who can't get in their side at £15mill. And, do we want to pay £15mill for a player who can't get into the team of a club in our peer group?

£15 million for Valencia is madness .
There's plenty out there better & cheaper than him , I can't see us paying that. |  |

based on £50,000 a week and witha £15m fee you are looking at at least £25m package for an average Striker. Not for me thank you | |

Not for me also.
Baston would be a great buy , but can't see it .
Mitrovik the mad Newcastle forward maybe worth a punt ? | |

After watching him for Newcastle last season what makes you think he's worth a punt? |  | | |
