Up to now it looks like just being Maitland-Niles, Grealish and Balogun.
I'm really hoping for one or two more but if it ends up being them three then that's still a decent window but surely there's enough in the coffers for a couple more seeing as though Beto/Ndiaye/Tim/Patterson are going out. That's over 100 mill of outgoings and of the 3 coming in it’s about 45 in transfer fees.
Would love to see a Yilmaz or Lewelling but prob won’t have enough time left and surely we need another left back with Aznou going out, can't just have Myko as the only one as we know he’s not very good.
Come on Blues 1 or 2 more and that would be the icing on the cake.

Decent, but would leave us short, especially at left back. Being greedy, would love to see two more.

Moyes always complaining about shortage of numbers, so (today) we offload 4 and sign 3!?

I don't think we are being greedy asking for more. Feel like we actually haven't spent much at all when you think about sales too. Surely more income from stadium, price of shirts, all these new sponsorship deals etc etc, where is it all going? I know I'm thick when it comes to finances, but I look at clubs with smaller stadiums, smaller fan base etc yet still manage to bring in players that cost more than we can imagine at the moment.
It's been like this for years.

Most of the money spent on shirt sales goes to the company that makes them, not the club. The club will never recoup money spent on a player by shirt sales. It's just a myth.

Especially to a locally supported club with minimum fans outside the area. Ronaldo shirts sold in the 10s of millions. We probably sell less than 100k.
