Aguero

[RichC]

Probably talking about £100m worth of signings there, optimistically that would be ~£70m net spend, how realistic is that? Personally I can't see that, I imagine we'd spend about £40-50m net, not £70-80m.

Wickham will be £15 - £20 M
Hazzard - £20M+ could even get up to 30 dependant on interest
Aguero £40M+ Athetico will hold out for release clause fee.
Young - £15M maybe more as Villa have shown previously they won't let players go for anything less than they want. (Barry!)
new CB - £8M- £20M dependant on who Adam through to M,Villa have been linked.
new LB - up to £10M I'd guess
New CB - £10m - £15M

Thats potentially a huge outlay for those players if they went for the top end of their valuations, I'd imainge we'll bring in £20M or so in sales this summer.

Anyway we'd never go for all of those players as they wouldn't all agree to come even if we could afford them!

[RichC]

only for aguero though...

Hazard £20m ?
Young £15m ?
A top centre half £10m ?
a top left back £10m ?
centre mid £15m?

Thats what we should be aiming for imo - £70m ish spend recouping up to £20m from sales.

Just have to keep ngog for now and then sign Aguero in January transfer window

Ha ha ha

these are the types of players we should be looking at though and 2 even 3 of these players would really, really kick us on for next season

As mentioned by others there is a big question mark over the formation we would play if we did sign him, I'm not convinced it would be a good idea, but I think we could afford it:-

45m euro's = £39m

Lets say we sold the following players:-

Aquilani (15m euros = £13m) Milan/Juventus Agreed
Cole £6m to QPR or Spurs = 3m max due to wages, QPR not interested
Jovanovic = £3m? = Free or 1m max, wages could be an issue
Ngog = £6m? = 2-3 max
Poulsen = £3m back to Denmark? Agreed

Selling those 5 would raise £31m of the £39m. Lets say FSG give us an additional £40m to spend in the summer we would have £32m left to spend and we would have reduced our wage bill - I can't see Aguero earning more than those 4/5 COMBINED! especially considering Cole is on £90k a week!

Also, Cole, Jovanovic, Ngog and Poulsen have combined played less league minutes that Reina this season...

I'm not into these FM-based valuations and possible signings, but I think your prices are a tad unbalanced.

You think we'd get more for Poulsen than we would Jovanovic or Ngog?!

[Exiled_red]

Jovanovic, Cole and Poulsen should all go for whatever we can get for them - the wages they are on and the clubs who are likely to come in for them mean it probably won't be much.

Ngog I would be tempted to keep and loan out for a year in an attempt to maximise his price, at the moment we won't get what he's worth because he's been in very poor form, and he is better than he has shown recently. If we could loan him out somewhere with a good season under his belt we could probably get ~£5-6m for him, IMO if we were to sell him this summer we'd probably be looking at half of that.

[Mattshark]

Shane Long would be better than the ineffective Ngog. Would all depend on cost though.

But then we'd have (in all likelihood) and ineffective Shane Long.

Long is Bitters type of signing not ours. We need much better.

[Fosterbloke]

Why not sign Ronaldo?

[Daniel 7]

Why not sign Ronaldo?

He retired because he was old and fat

[Buzzo]

Why not sign Ronaldo?

Because he is a cunt.

Wickham is apparently available for circa £10 million if you believe the rumourmill

Not seen enough of him to know if he'd be worth the money? Lot's of good reports out there on him but is he worth it?

Dunno have only seen snippets of him

I wouldn't pay a penny for any of them but Poulson is probably the best known around Europe of the 3 so we might find somebody daft enough to pay 3m for him.

Jano and N'Gog have only played lower league football outside of England, so their value may be lower.

Jovanovic played for Liege and Ngog played for PSG... both in the top division of their respective Leagues.
