SM001 £60m seems reasonable considering Chelsea want £85m! I just hope whatever deals we do get done early compared to previous summer transfer windows.
It’s about the money we have to spend.
60m is roughly 60% of our budget under FFP rules, to spend more we’d have to sell a lot of our dead wood.
If buying Mount leaves us circa 40m to spend that’s a lot of shrewd purchasing required when Erik wants a striker, gk and another defender (probably at a minimum.
Also Mount is last year of contract and Chelsea probably need to sell players at least as much as we do
