KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Newcastle & Liverpool - £20m / £25m to spend

It has been widely reported/suggested that Liverpool will have £20m to £25m to spend this summer.

Did you see this in The Guardian about Newcastle?

'Ashley and the club's managing director, Derek Llambias, believe £20m to £25m is a healthy budget for a club looking to consolidate its Premier League position.'

Thats the solicitors fees Joey Barton will cost them next season.

we do have a lot of dead wood that we can get rid of though so i think we will spend about 50 million in the summer

Not to sound pesimistic but last year it was very widely reported that wed have about £40m to spend in the summer but that just didnt happen. I think who is spending the money is just as important as how much money we have to spend. in other words dont give any to rafa unless we want aruna dindane up front with eggnog next season

Newcastle will probably get to spend £25m on players.

How much of ours will go into contract extensions under the new transfer budget scheme.

Presumably Pepe's contract extension will have to come out of that.

why the surprise at this? havent teams like sunderland ,villa and spurs out spend us for years, last summer even stoke and bolton out spend us, so why would anyone be surprised that newcastle might outspend us

Right thats it im not buying anything from sports direct anymore if its paying for the toons transfer kitty haha

i never trusted sports direct dont know why just didnt

As in owning a club or just in general??

in general
