sbnufc Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 We've missed a huge chance to sign guaranteed goals for £16m Especially when you see these quotes from him “I am very happy to join West Ham United,” he said. “For me, the Premier League is the best league in the world and when the opportunity came, I was desperate to sign for this club. [...] “I’ve had three fantastic years playing in Spain and Germany, but England was really the first big chapter in my career and I am so happy to be back.

We would have been in with a shout, surely. Shame tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 It's making me feel sick seeing quality players joining other clubs that we could have got, while we keep being linked to nobody or utter dog s*** most weeks. You say that, but imagine if we sell mbemba... And replace him? Scenes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what happens when you get relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Aye. We're a year behind this. You say that but nothing Ashley has done since he's owned us suggests he'd be following suit with everyone else and spending in such a cavalier fashion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliottman Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 The year before we went down we spent like a Premier League team should. Yip. Hopefully we'll get that opportunity again but with Rafa in charge of the spends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 No way we were ever going to pay £150kpw for Hernandez and piss the rest of the squad off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Aye it wasn't the fee in particular but Shelvey's the highest earner on about £70k? We're not going to pay double that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 The year before we went down we spent like a Premier League team should. After 3 years of non investment before. Ashley hasn't shown that he's willing to even run the club at break even at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley hasn't shown that he's willing to even run the club at break even at all. A net-spend of £4.4m a season apparently. Comical for a club generating the money we were during those years.

Village Idiot Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Is Mbappé that good? All I have really seen is a few games in the CL. This fee is truly absurd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Is Mbappé that good? All I have really seen is a few games in the CL. This fee is truly absurd. He looked pretty fucking insane in the CL, to the point he might actually be worth that to a club one day. Even so though, that's a pretty big bet to make on a teenager.

Kanj Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 every time i see these type of fees (even Everton's dealings this summer) its further affirmation that we're only going to be a force in football when Mike Ashley sells us and we have an owner who wants to achieve the very highest and will commit his own money to doing so.
