Mick Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 If we spend more this Summer than we ever have at any one time before, will NE5 go into hiding? He'll probably just blow the dust off one of his sleeper cell user names and come back as somebody else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 If we spend more this Summer than we ever have at any one time before, will NE5 go into hiding? he'll take into account inflation,check the stat of evary player and slag each one off for not being brilliant or climb aboard the bandwagon (begrudgingly) He'll only conceed in 10 years time when Ashley et al have helped us to finish in the top 10, 4 times.

Baggio Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 So what's the most we've ever spent net in any transfer window? I need to know what Mort has to spend before he can be classed as our most ambitious chairman ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 The £50m figure was mischief as that was bandied around a lot at the time but he has spent the most in one 12 months period iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 In a calendar year (2005) Souness had a spend of roughly £49.3m (Net: £30.9m) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 In a calendar year (2005) Souness had a spend of roughly £49.3m (Net: £30.9m) there we go then...if we spend more than that in the summer i'd vote to keep NE5 but have a " mackems.gif" killing party Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Am i the only one who prefers net spend as a figure? (General question) I prefer both then you see the whole picture. His highest spend for one window was £39,000,000, I'll work out the net spend and edit this when I've done it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to know what Mort has to spend before he can be classed as our most ambitious chairman ever. I think that honour goes to Souness, if you're looking for a benchmark use him. In Parker - £6.5m Emre - £3.8m Krul - ? Solano - £1.5m Owen - £16m Luque - £10m Out O'Brien - £2m Bellamy - £4.5m Ambrose - £1m Jenas - £9m Hughes - £1m So we're talking £20.3 million unless anyone has a problem with those figures? That's what Mort has to beat to be our most ambitious chairman ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 What did we get from Villa for Hughes? I thought Bellamy taunted Shepherd when he went to the press and said we'd got less than £4 million for him, I thought it was £3-3.5 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Souness spent £36.5m in summer 2005, tho he also spent £11.5m in the January window of that year, whereas we spent nothing this jan. so passing £48m would do the trick. Though of course with transfer inflation/spike in tv income, you could perhaps increase that figure by say 25% to £60m to give a more comparable figure.
