Blades: Ins and Outs

[LouTheBlade]

So far we have seen the following come in;

Steve Simonsen - Free
Johannes Ertl - Free
Simon Walton - Loan
Leon Britton - Free
Daniel Bogdanovic - Free

We have also see the following go out;

Paddy Kenny - 750K
Ian Bennett - Free
Gary Naysmith - Free
Jordan Stewart - Free
Billy Sharp - 1.15M (initial 900K)

In terms of quality, we can arguably say we have brought in better than what we've let go, so from that point of view I'm relatively happy. Its no secret that we will see a few more coming in over the next couple of weeks but the fees noted above got me thinking.

In total we have received £1.65M in transfer fees (based on reports), which will rise to £1.9M if you take Billy Sharp's full quoted figure (not sure what the extra is based on). My question would be; is the Paddy / Billy money going to be used for new signings. Knowing United probably not and as we are only quoted as making an actual transfer bid for Nosworthy, it suggests the rest will probably be freebies.

We can obviously assume that the players we have signed will have received signing on fees etc. so money will have been spent there, but I just wonder how much of the money we have received will actually be reinvested into the team???? Personally, I dont care whether United bring in a load of free transfers or not, as long as they're good ones. But we're obviously trimming the wage budget so are keeping our transfer spending right down as well????

Thoughts anyone????

I do apologise...

I wasn't having a go at you bornOnShoreham, it was just the first thread after i'd put my info in, I was still a tad angry with the all situation down at the Lane. Sorry.

It's all kinda old news, McCabs hand in the till, conspiracy theory let loose.

The actual debt I was told was £26-mil, don't know if this is true though. So he's getting 10% interest on this per year.

I don't think the transfer money tells the whole story. The biggest burden for any club these days are wages. Would be interesting to know if the wage bill is higher or lower after all the ins and outs.

Yes i don't expect us to spend a penny, i did say a week ago when billy turned down Burnley that gave us a problem, we are running such a tight ship every penny counts and that included the billy money. So united accepted the donny bid knowing billy would go, in total the money is the same but down payment from donny is smaller. We will only be bringing in Season long loans and freebies i have that on good authority any transfer money rumoured in the press is bollocks. Trevor birch has been brought in to balance the books and thats exactly whats happening. I personally think all the players that have left are good business, however the ones that have come in i only think simmo and britton will be good signings (just my opinion).

Just on another note i was told that Sunderland still owe us money for killa and that could be used in the Nobworthy deal. (not technically money spent)
