loki679 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 This is what happens when you try and make money instead of trying to do well. Our club asks 'how much can we make on him?' while other clubs ask 'how many games can he win us?'. You don't get money out of football. You put money in, you get football out.

In fairness football should have never got itself to the state where it's purely a loss-making business = football out. However it is the reality. What I don't understand is that if Cabella is this talented, surely £12m is still a snip? - If he sells for £20m+ it's still all profit, why miss out on someone of his quality we can have today if we simply spend what is fair amount for a quality talent.

Because the people in charge are fucking stupid. They care about potential when it can be bought for the cheapest of prices, they don't want the risk of a real investment. If Cabella flops then that's money gone, it's a pessimistic view but one naturally synonymous with penny-pinching dickheads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are fucking idiots and it just saddens me so much that we truly are so short sighted when it comes to signing players of class. We treat it the same as any other signing. I have the strong feeling we will regret not signing this lad for £12m when he tears it up for another club. When we are languishing towards bottom half of the table come January and relegation threatend I'm sure the fat prick will realise it as well, but by then it maybe too late for us.

Yup precisely.. Especially considering the new TV deal and such 12million certainly isn't as much as what was. In relative terms of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 We've got 60 mil to spend though remember… the press told us this. Only a few people know how much it is but it is clear it is not going to be spent. With the lack of spending, TV money and transfer income we are no doubt minted. If Fat Fred was in charge we would be going for Ronaldo (although we wouldn't be in this financial position!) It is fine being sensible but to continue to hoard and take the piss with lowball bids is a joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JS Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Football transfers are ridiculous like. You'd think it's simply a case of offering money and it being accepted to allow for contract negotiation with the player. The way the press makes these out, it's like a giant difficult jigsaw puzzle that's half done and then thrown on the floor. Completely unnecessary and fucking stupid.
