Interpolic Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Mental. They spend nowt last summer and are not only given a clean slate for that, they can go on about spending additional money in comparison to the following summer and nobody raises an eyebrow.

Guest icemanblue Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I don't get that, like. They ballsed up last summer, admitted it, then made huge strides to put it right. I don't think they're being given a clean slate by many, but they're rightly being praised for giving us one of our best ever transfer windows.

colinmk Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Who cares lads tbh, we have the players now that's what matters whether it cost 3m or 30m. They have no excuse not to spend on the right players during the window now so lets see it while keeping what we have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 No I agree Inochi, I'm simply taking exception with his patter about spending extra money compared to Summer 2013. How can they say that at the same time as admitting they got it wrong in 2012 and also insisting they were battling for players at that time? It's a simple point I'm making. Obviously delighted with our business in January, just think this latest stuff is a bit rich to say the least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, they're riding the crest of a wave at the minute. The club being in profit is fantastic PR for them, let them have their moment in the sun. Their job isn't done, by a long shot, and they'll know that. This summer is almost equally as important as January was. A repeat of last summer will destroy any goodwill they've generated in the past couple of months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Moody Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I'm over the mistakes they made last summer. They've certainly started making up for it, and I'm looking forward to seeing what business they come up with this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing Ryder he has probably got the wrong end of it and its just the official unveiling of how the ground will look all Wonga'ed up and the shirt launch rather than an announcement of anything else.

Obviously delighted with our business in January, just think this latest stuff is a bit rich to say the least. the business done in january was seemingly brought forward due to the dodgy position we found ourselves in but the plan is still the same as it was in the summer, in the main getting players for under their supposed market value. sometimes it'll pay off and they'll look good, sometimes it wont and they'll look like mugs. for all they say they got it wrong in the summer, if that situation arose again I'd doubt they'd do things differently.

bowlingcrofty Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 So total bollocks then, and a pointless and bizarre way of speaking about transfers. Well, no. That's real money that the club has spent, which it a) didn't want to and b) hadn't factored in to the long term running of the club. We are now a few million weaker financially than we would have liked. However, it was a wise investment given the potential losses of relegation. I wonder if it also includes the 7 months of saved wages from the Debuchy deal being messed up in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see Puma offering mental money as per Nike/Adidas/Warrior Apparently we are Puma's biggest customer from what I've read somewhere. We still domestically in the top 4 in the UK for selling kits, plenty of potential to make more money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Didn't Moussa waive his signing on fee for us to get the deal done? If so surely that would balance out the transfer fee we paid for him. So, one would expect the siginificant expense will be paying him from January instead of July. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
