I really dont think we will spend to much in terms of transfer money leaving the account in big chunks...more will be paid out in wages and bonuses, and stupid agent fees
Will cost us 8-10M really not worth that when you consider what Benteke cost Villa. Lets be honest though lads we won't sign a new starting XI, we can't afford to. Last time we went up we spent far to much, this year lets be sensible sign 6 or 7 maybe go down but come back stronger. I think the WBA model is one to follow. Also John Guidetti is wanted by Fiorentina according to my City friend.
I wonder if SAF has a couple of quality loans for us to join or ex-reds of: Brady, Chester, Dudgeon, Evans and McShane..... People tell me that Van Persie lad might have a future at Old Trafford if he can get a decent loan spell out at a lower Premier League team first.....
Do you buy 7 or 8 good players, or do you buy 2 or 3 great players (if you can get them)? Another name to throw in there - Nick Powell on loan.
He was our worst player yesterday and has been well below par all season. I hope it's a phase he's going through.
I actually agree, I don't even think he's average. Is it me or does he NEVER make a save? Anything on target seems to go in.
After hearing that Blackburn are in a bit of financial trouble i wouldn't mind trying a cheeky 4 mil bid for Rhodes.
I certainly wouldn't advocate spending that sort of money on him, but if we could get him for 3 or 4 then he would be a good a buy. I agree with you WBA model, even if we are a yoyo club for 3 or 4 years, but as long as we are strengthening the club during this time, then so be it.
Bruce ought to get Leroy Rosenior on the coaching staff with his Hull connections, he's wasted on the Championship programme and we are crying out for a decent coach for the strikers
I know he signed a contract, but is a certain Glyn Myhill playing much at the moment? Or would Robert Green take a pay cut to stay in the Prem? Or how about Brad Friedel?
I'd like to be clear on the new financial fair play new law, cos from my reckoning, we would only be able to pay upto 4 million on one single player..
we've already dipped into the European maket.......... BIG NICK anyone? how about the Irish contingency? Nick will take a season or 2 more to bed in, I wonder if loaning him out for a season in Championship would be better than asking him to step up to the BPL.
