Yohan Cabaye retires


Optimistic Nut

Everyone knows we've got loads of money now, no idea why this would make it more likely that we'll spend in the next few days. It's the total opposite IMO.

 

Exactly why our policy of not getting a replacement in first is fucking mental. And why the thick cunts running the club cant see it is beyond logic.

because the club isn't run on football terms but business terms its as simple as that.

 

How does that work when the price of player we want to buy is pushed up because they know we have lots of money.

 

Of course, we just dont bother with the buying bit :lol:

the club waits until the summer to replace him, lower prices more prep time and from ashleys pov avoid any possibility of europe

 

We've bought just Anita in the last two summers so that theory isn't playing out well.

the only previous on this was post carroll so applying the same logic as then as to now. Of coarse JFK and logic.....................

 

Thing is we dont need to rebuild like before, well not as much imo, it would be nice if we bought a couple of players around the £10m mark. Ashley hates it but that's the going rate nowadays.

It would be nice if I won the lotto too and thats about as likely as that tbh. Expect 1 or 2 in at somewhere around £5-10m none of which will be anyway similar to cabaye (and given how the clubs worked they'd probably be cbs) and will not be Remy.

 

I never thought Remy would sign personally.

Cant blame Cabaye, club with ambition trying to win the Champions League. Against a club with the ambition to try to avoid if at all possible.

 

Ha ha ha.

Shay Given aside, we've generally done well at holding out for hefty prices. With a business hat on; selling Cabaye for £20m means we've made back five times what we paid. That's why we'll have accepted at this point, instead of holding out for more.

 

Yay, we won at spreadsheets (________)o(___)

 

I was talking to a friend of a friend in the pub the other day, talking about football.

 

I was bemoaning our lack of ambition in the transfer window, how our expectations have been lowered so much the last few years, etc etc, and he started going on about how we've now got a much more sustainable wage bill, how it was once 85% of turnover, how now it's much more sensible and how with the new tv deal coming in, and commercial revenue on the rise, the figures look much better.

 

I suddenly found myself reflecting that this must be how it would feel to be a supporter of, say, Marks and Spencer or WH Smiths or something, pleasure reduced to financial figures. Depressing.

 

Well you could always have had Randy Lerner continue to bankroll Martin O'Neill as an alternative.

 

Or, alternatively, have found a middle way.

That better be a fucking joke

 

They can all fuck off. The replacement should've been sat in the terminal, fountain pen in tow.

AP: "I’d be foolish if I didn’t have a plan to deal with him going. We have. But until a deal is agreed, we can’t put a bid of our own in."

 

 

If only we had some other money we could venture.

Didn't seem that hard to sign players a year ago. The money is there, the desire to spend it is not. Why would you possibly want to improve your team when you can just get by as it is?

 

Stagnating is the new winning.
