I'm not overly fussed how much we shell out in transfer fees as long as we spend wisely and ambitiously.

{Ed007's Note - I never believe these type of stories, there's far too many factors involved to believe they are accurate, does the £15 million include agent fees and signing on fees? What about wages etc?

What is paid by the buying club would typically include:

(a) Transfer fee - the big number.
(b) Any levy applied by the local FA – 5% for the EPL.
(c) Tax due on the transfer fee – typically this will be VAT (at varying rates across Europe) some or all of which should be reclaimable.
(d) Agent fees – this may be to one or more agents.
(e) Tax due on the agent fees – typically this is VAT at the local rate where the agent bills from – it is not reclaimable.
(f) Intermediary fees – this may be to one or more sponging leeches(what do you mean you have a super agent?) .
(g) Tax due on the Intermediary fees – typically this is VAT at the local rate where the Intermediary bills from – it is not reclaimable.
(h) Signing on fee to the player (possibly including non-reclaimable VAT if the player is VAT registered).
(i) Legal fees.
(j) VAT on legal fees which is reclaimable.
(k) Moving/relocation costs for the player.
(l) VAT on moving/relocation costs which is reclaimable.
(m) Paying up insurance costs to the selling club (sometimes waived).
(n) Variables and tax on variables which may or may not be reclaimable) – these would typically include legal fees, moving/relocation costs, etc....

Are all these costs coming out of the £15 million?}

We could get 30 Dembeles for that, or a third of Andy Carrol. It's about finding the right player and being able to attract them instead of "we have x to spend". I would rather Celtic increased their wage budget and paid the 3 or 4 top players 35-40k a week instead of a splurge on transfer fees. They have always said they wouldn't break the wage structure but given the current strong finances they could afford to do it if the player has sell on value.

i'll settle for a playmaker, a centre half, an enforcer in midfield, a striker and a winger, i'm not asking for much lol.

{Ed033's Note - An enforcer/striker; do you mean someone like Conor McGregor?
