Tiresias Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 especially since that all stemmed from trying to get away with not spending in the previous summer, it's an endless cycle, not spend in summer, have to panic by in winter so don't buy in summer again.

Cajun Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Still think that our spending was done in January is a terrible excuse. Definitely, considering the spending in January was to make up for the lack of it the summer of 2012. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Still think that our spending was done in January is a terrible excuse. The way i look at January is because of it we don't need to buy loads like a lot of clubs in our position are. If we didn't buy in January and stayed up we would need to buy about 9 or 10 players but as it is we need 3 or 4. But yeah it doesn't escape from the fact that January was what should have happened last summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 imo that money still wouldn't have been spent had we been higher up the table. Ridiculous really. fairly sure they said deals were already agreed for gouffran and sissoko for the summer (on frees) and were brought forward due to the situation. debuchy was a hangover from last summer, not sure where mapou came into it.

Tiresias Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Part of me thinks the tv money should be spread way more unevenly towards the top 6 just to give cunts like Ashley some motivation to have some ambition, though I also think that would lead to clubs pulling away too much from the rest (albeit happened anyway really with 'top 4') Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ashley saw the Reading game and it forced his hand. If he can get away without spending money he will, if we'd been cruising he may not have felt the need to spend.

Perhaps, but if say during January we'd been something like 7th or 8th and comfortable, it's quite possible MYB wouldn't be at the club and we'd be going through the same tedious stuff now with trying to get him here. It's maybe a cynical view but not unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuy_O Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Fairly obvious thing to say but whilst Ashley's affection for this club is as low at is the spending will be minimal from now till the day he finally fucks off. This is probably the start of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 It's one of the worst transfer windows in my time following the club yet nobody seems arsed. This has become the norm and we all lap it up as usual. my own apathy about transfers is dictated by how awful i believe our manager is; i said the other day that throwing players won't help pardew as i truly believe he's beyond hope...i'm clouded by my knowledge of how poor this man is so the fact we're not throwing away money on bent and downing to satisfy his prehistoric view of football just doesn't register with me anymore, i'll come alive again once this knacker is down the road but then of course we'll have to contend with and a whole heap of other problems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I honestly don't care who plays for us as long as the current regime remains in place.

Zero Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 it's simple, you either sack the manager, or give him money to buy the player he needs. what we are doing now is purely time-wasting. i'd rather give money to Pardew to buy players like Bent or Downing (who is at least a winger) rather than sticking with Obertan as our only winger FFS.
