Summer transfer window 2017

[porcho]

this approach seems great and explains how milan could sign 3-4 top players this summer alone. this is also what inter's been doing for years to rebuild their squad (deferred payments).

using the aubameyang example above, if our total summer mercato budget was 100m, we could sign 4 champions costing 80m each with 4m wages as long as the payments were spread over 4 years (total cost 96m).

in theory, this summer we could sign belotti (60m), bernardeschi (60m), champion midfielder (60m), promising young midfielder (tielemans/pellegrini 20m) and quality cb (musacchio/de vrij 20m) and providing we paid everybody 3m wages (just to make calculations easier) and deferred payments over 4 years our total summer mercato would cost (60+60+60+20m+20m+5*3)/4 = 58.75m or 78.33m if payments are spread over 3 years!

The problem with this theory is we're likely to overspend on players as a result...
Torino might well take 45-50 if we offered outright money but would only consider 60+ if we did it with deferred payments. 
same goes for someone like Tielemans... Why would Anderlecht accept 20-25 from us with deferred payments if a prem league club could swoop in and offer 30 outright without thinking twice. 
De Vrij is out... Chelsea is seriously looking at him and wanting to spend up to 50mill to get him... 
I would rather us fix problem areas 1st season and spend on bigger names the next season.
