JJ7 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 How have we strengthened our full back positions? We basically have one on each side without much back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ7 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Some negative bastards on this forum like. We haven't sold anyone, we have strengthened our midfield and full back positions. Fair enough we don't have a back up striker, but we can play Cisse upfront and play Marv on the wing. Selling Best counts as selling "someone" when he isn't replaced. And Lovenkrands.

Incognito Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Of the Carroll money,. how much has been invested on new transfers? Less than half. Imagine Spurs or Liverpool doing that. And that's without an annual transfer budget aside from sales profit,. which most other clubs operate with., Am I correct? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Campbell is coming through, he will replace best as 4th choice I guess. Best barely played after Cisse signed anyway. Simpson isn't that bad, I'd make a forum bet that he saved us more goals last season than he cost us with goal line clearances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 We've needed a centre back for two years now. If we'd had one last year we may have made it into the Champions League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 what's fucking infuriating is that when fans begin to voice their concern or question why, they just fall silent and refuse to answer. Instead Pardew is stuck in front of the cameras to churn out more "it was a fantastic window because we didn't sell!" twaddle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I like how we pull off several potential signings of the season for the past 2 years, and we don't get a back up striker or a right back and we are a selling club, and Ashley has no ambition.

Wullie Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 This is bollocks. Can't believe we didn't bother to get Debuchy in ffs Didn't bother. Because transfers are just that simple. Doesn't get a lot more simple than the player actually to come here though does it? Clubs like to make out that transfers are oh-so-complicated but it's funny how they manage to get several done in a day when they need to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 No doubt this is a naive outlook or will be perceived to be but with the big TV windfall money coming in at the end of the season, I imagine we will look to be active then. A lot of PL clubs have spent money they don't have in anticipation of that (there's been unprecedented spending in the smaller sides) Tv money. When some inevitably get relegated or don't do that well, they will potentially need to sell players cheap or certainly won't be able to spend big in the transfer market. I could see us doing some very good business in the summer. I'm not excusing the lack of spending in this window, or saying it was what I wanted but I hope there's some truth in what I've written. Aside from that, I can't wait for 11pm More likely that transfer fees will go up and we don't even want to pay them now. Maybe you're right, I could be proved to be a fool but I think it will work out because all the signs over the past two seasons have said it's been working Players wage demands will go up as will agents fees - always happens when the TV revenue increases. Maybe it would have made sense to tie players up on long-term deals on the current rates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Definately would be better it they explained the situation a bit more, they know we're aware of certain deals & will be questioning why we havent got players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Probably because most of them pay massively over the odds and on massive wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Was idiotic to not bring in players anyway, but to still not do it after Raylor's injury is moronic. Its almost like they dont want us to do well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
