sempuki Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I wonder what the chances are of Colo and Williamson being our starting centre halves next season. Quite high I would think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 it'll be the same 30m ish spent on 6-8 players to try and fumble through the season with the hope of unearthing another ayoze or selling a sissoko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Good that we've moved on from complaining about spending nothing to complaining about spending £30m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp40 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 In terms of net spend wouldn't spending 30m be less than nothing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpie1892 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 it'll be the same 30m ish spent on 6-8 players to try and fumble through the season with the hope of unearthing another ayoze or selling a sissoko Except we spent nowhere near that last summer. You can take away about £11m combined from the Riviere and Cabella deals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 And that was after 2 transfer windows where we never made one permanent transfer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Good that we've moved on from complaining about spending nothing to complaining about spending £30m. If we signed 8 players for £30m we'd have to be doing pretty darn well to be successful with that 8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I don't really care about the specific number of pounds we spend, if we spend £30m on 4 or 5 players who are good enough I would be amazed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 2 good centre backs 1 right back 1 very good striker 1 very good winger At least 30 million if we want decent quality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

healthyaddiction Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Based on rumoured fees it was about £30-£35m. Take away sales that summer and you're down to around £20m. Take away the January sale of Cabaye you're roughly breaking even. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 We'll sell Tiote and replace him. We'll sign a striker. Another defender. And some young / cheap players where we can. That's it. If we sell Sissoko we'll try and replace him too. We aren't far from selling Sissoko for whatever we can get are we? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take away the January sale of Cabaye you're roughly breaking even. It's not an honest argument to complain about Cabaye's sale contributing to both huge profits in 13/14 and a break even net spend in 14/15. Cabaye Profits from 13/14 led to a £21.4m net spend in 14/15. http://i61.tinypic.com/9773ip.png Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyaddiction Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I wasn't arguing it was for both. Just pointing it out. I generally think gross spend is a better indicator for a clubs progress than net spend anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I'd argue that league position is a better indicator than both. I couldn't care if we spend nothing on transfer fees if the football and league position improved, id actually be impressed. Mind we did finish 5th after selling Carroll and spending significantly less than 35m in the summer so it can be done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 there is a really good correlation between gross spend and winning in football................... and we don't spend and we win nowt .................. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Well we're not going to spend enough to win anything, we aren't trying to win anything. Best we can hope for is an acceptable team that's not horrible to watch every week. And not even that if they appoint Carver. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
