I don't think they're trying to fool anyone with that, like. They've always counted the 'full' cost of the player in transfers, rightly or wrongly.

 

I would guess they are trying to focus on something to take peoples minds off Ashley taking £11 million at a time when we spent nothing while the club went backwards, they are creating headlines.

  A half full glass is also half empty, no matter how you dress it up.

[madras]

what were the prices again ?

 

all guesses,

mapou 6.7mill

gouffran 1.5mill

sissoko 1.5mill

haidara 3.5mill

debuchy 5mill

mbabu 1mill

 

total of 19.2mill, leaves 12mill for agents fees and signing on fees....................possible but unlikely.

 

Minus £7million for Ba too.

3.5 if the rumours about us getting half, him getting half are to be believed. so thats 15.5million for agents/signing on fees. as i said before, possible but unlikely and probably not far off.

If we are including wages in these figures it has to work both ways. I don't remember us claiming to have received money for Carroll, Nolan, Ba, Enrique etc.. and included how much we would have paid them which has now been saved.

Exactly and thank fuck someone's said that. Don't hear much talk of getting the likes of Smith and Xisco off the wage bill either, yet he'll crow on about additions to the wage bill like we give them it all in 50 pound notes when they walk through the door.

Making a profit is fantastic, it's also meaningless while we fail on the pitch.

Fwiw i think the only wages he meant was the 6 months extra for Gouffran and Sissoko, after all we agreed summer deals and brought them forward. 26 weeks at anything from £60k+ plus agent fees etc

the only thing that counts in that respect is the total paid out in wages in total.

 

 

edit......totally!

Financially, we're doing well and I appreciate what they've done and they don't need to spin it.  I don't support the balance sheet, I support the team which they failed to strengthen.

i can agree with that. what gets me is those now praising the transfer strategy when in my eyes it's the same one we pursued last summer. sometime it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Yh i'm sure MYM, Sissoko, Haidara, Gouffran and Debuchy magically appeared from thin air

Hopefully they'll learn from it.

[Mole_Toonfan]

They clearly have learned from it 

 

If they hadn't they wouldn't have gone and bought 5 players and said on many occasions since the Summer they f*cked up and we need more depth.

 

Not sure what else needs to be said or done, summer was a real shit but they rectified it and clearly have strengthened the team.

i'd guess the last window has just confirmed that strategy.

[Dave]

We'll see in the summer. Hope they don't rest on their laurels again.

Let’s see what they do in the Summer, in January they spent because we were once again in danger of going down.  Let’s see how well they do when the pressure is off.

[Mick]

It confirmed that they were prepared to spend to stay up, in the Summer they weren't prepared to spend to kick on.

[Jack Flash]

Sack the manager.

[madras]

i don't think they did last time, just the strategy didn't get what we wanted. it's not like we said "we aren't ineterested in buying anyone" just that the deals didn't come off.
