I still don't know why all the fuss yesterday anyway the latest ITK confirmed we are looking for the positions we know we need and that effectively we will be selling to recoup money we spend on the purchases all good stuff I reckon. Apparently someone I know nothing about and that we may or may not have been interested in went to Everton but nothing too bad there.
Imagine being a Man City fan they were looking at Falcao and Cavani and are now reduced to chasing Negredo and they've got all the money in the world.

Ali's ITK hit & people decided to slag him off as it wasn't good news. It was carnage. Thread was locked.

On a serious note though am I the only one who is not bothered by the latest ITK? Maybe moving off some deadwood first would allow for us to have more funds for other areas that need improving?
As ITK has mentioned we are looking for:
Striker
Wide Forward
Left Back
Lets assume our budget before we signed lil P'inho was 40 million pounds, Factor in his purchase and we are left with a handsome 22 odd million pounds for the rest of the positions. Now I know to some that isn't even enough for Benteke but It doesn't need to be. A quick search of transfermarkt and my own knowledge of a few players and I have come up with a list of possible targets:
Striker (Carlos Bacca 8 million euros)
Wide Forward (Adem Ljajic 12 million euros)
Left Back (Aly Cissokho 6 million euros)
Carlos is a fucking awesome name, and he was the highest scorer in the Belguim first division last season, Adem can double as a creative midfielder/left wing and We all know about Cissokho even though I'd rather have Rose step up to first team. Now if I can do that with such a minimal budget why are you all worried about Baldini's ability to do even better?

If we don't have the cash then why do we need baldini? He could be Houdini but without funding we can't sign top players.

Yes, thankfully it was edited and the revised version looked like that Jared guy after the Subway diet... lost half of its weight and could fit into a regular pair of trousers again.

Personally don't expect we'll see much more on the incoming side until we have shipped a few out. Not sure i buy all this 'Itk' on the financials but simple logic dictates the business and squad sense of trimming first so we know what we have to play with.
The midfield is the most complex. We must retain cover for Sandro but will Jake stay? Can we keep Parker just for that role? Tommy C needs to play- loan? For me, the only definite sale is Hudd. The rest is a bit of a chess game

Hopefully today will be a better day alround, though I missed yesterday's madhouse.
I mainly only read this daily thread, but have to ask why do people always have to try and second guess how much we have to spend? early itk mentioned we were going to try and add upto 4 more players on top of Paulinho, and we would also need to sell (been the same for many seasons).
Losing out on Villa hurt, but what will hurt most is if we haven't got a good amount in the budget and can't provide some form of ambition to AvB, we could be in danger of losing him and Bale for definite next season.
It's still early days, even though it would be great to get them in before pre-season really gets underway and hopefully give us a good start for a change
