Neil Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Same, it's obviously a risk, but I think it was the right decision to let Nolan go and try to evolve our football. Made exactly the same point on an Everton forum regarding Cahill earlier. Love the bloke for what he's done and couldn't thank him enough, hell, I admire him for what he's done for us over the years. But should we be relying on him to nick a goal here and there from 6 yards? IMO, no. Time to move on (I reckon this year will be his last at us) and look to the future.

Ikon Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Where are El Araabi (sp) and Nolan Roux now? El-Arabi went to some achlaachlalaachla club, was it Al Hilal or something like that? Roux hasn't transfered yet has he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Can't be arsed with specifics but we'll start the season underequipped and end up scrambling around in the last two weeks of August for players. Bingo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I can see a £10-12m striker from the continent, probably France. A £5-7m relegated striker (C.Cole, Ba, Doyle, etc) A £4-6m midfielder from France or Holland A £6-7m left-back in if Enrique leaves. So fecking close with this one like...deduct £2-3m from my continental striker one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 so, it was borderline laughable in the end then? one thing i'd say about the chronicle questions was a comment from someone that said the owner is working to a different time frame to supporters, this is a magnificent and well thought out point if the carroll money is spent in the next 10 years, otherwise it's jive our activity on the whole was good, exits ok for potential good entrances....problem as always is the money not spent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years and years of wasting money on the likes of Smith (£6m + $$$wages over 5years) does nothing for NUFC on or off the pitch. We've been guilty of this time and time and time again. So long as the quality is there, I don't have a problem with the £xm spent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far we have done pretty well though in building up a youngish talented squad to be fair to them. Really, really need a fucking striker mind. Criminal we haven't got one yet.
