That's what I've been thinking.... Looks like the €60M budget is just a bluff.

No way would they have gone for a mid fielder at such a high price( € 45 that could raise to 70!?) when we actually need a top RB to replace Dani and may be a back-up forward, more than a mid fielder anyway!

If it really is a bluff that's actually a clever move unlike the recent ones where they used to announce before hand that they have fat bundle of money available thereby raising the prices of incoming transfers!

If we signed Vietto for the rumored 22M then we paid 25M for Umtiti,16M for Digne,3M for Denis,35 for Andres & 22 for Vietto. around 100M
We sold Bartra for 8M,Halilovic for 5M and reportedly on our way to sell Tello for 7M .that is 20M
So we are 20M short from the 60M budget.Selling Arda would solve that.May be even just selling Montoya & Vermaelen could get us just 5-10M short and it is taken from the next summer budget.
BTW,the board always denied in every possible way that we are after a RB.it seem they really believe we are set with both Vidal & Roberto

Good math bro.... But that sum is actually 123, closer to 125 than 100! So adding the cash accumulated by selling the players till now, 20M, we are actually running 43M short! But I guess it's not exactly how it works though.... Because for these huge deals, cash is not paid in abundance but done in installments!

Anyway, I find it very hard to comprehend them neglecting RB completely. I mean we needed a RB more than André Gomes seeing how Sergi Roberto has already done well in midfield and would not have the settling-in issues that a newcomer would generally have in our midfield! Not to mention the abundant number of the other up & coming mid fielders from the youth team who belong to the same age bracket as does André!

I hope Roberto is doing some kind of business behind the scenes in his RB signing as well like he did till now. Because if it's out that Lucho don't trust the player we won't be able to do good business selling him and there's no point in keeping him if the coach wouldn't trust the player!

So we've spent 67M net so far. If we also count the rumoured prices of Vietto (22M) and sell Tello for 7M, then we'll spent 82M net or go 22M over our projected 60M transfer budget. If we can sell Vermaelen for around 10M then we'll be around 12M over. I think we can afford that. This money could easily go from next years budget (which will be then around 50M) as I doubt we'll really need to buy big next summer. Maybe RB if Vidal/Roberto won't work out but we're pretty set at other positions. We could possibly also sell Arda, Mathieu and maybe Masche next season and bring in another young CB (or just give a chance to Tarin/Marlon). So there will be money if we need it but overall we did a good job this summer to improve our bench and possibly get some longterm replacements for Masche (Umtiti) and Rakitić/Iniesta (Denis/Gomes), maybe even Suarez (Vietto).
