The irony of a Mackem asking how many s*** players another team needs :rolleyes:

 

Wish I hadn't clicked that link. Never seen so many ridiculous posts in close proximity.

 

How can our wage bill be an issue when we've shipped out the majority of our highest earners like Colo, Wijnaldum, Townsend, probably Sissoko and a whole host of other big contracts like Krul, Thauvin and SDJ?

 

Do they not understand the concept of a squad and a need for rotation? Even from an objective point of view the only obviously shit player we've signed is Murphy and as a backup in the Championship where he's scored goals isn't exactly a disaster for the nominal fee that was paid.

Be interesting to see that "ins and outs" table they had on

.com the other day and estimate the wages saved.

I'm sure Ashley will be impressed and for once I won't be fussed, because of the amount of those players who've been stealing a living for years.

We might sign some duds and will need to spend if promoted but I bet we are a better team than we have been in a long time when we go up.

 

We actually have a competitive squad that play as a team with a British core. Yes quite a few will be poor if promoted but we needed to rebuild and have. We will have 4 wingers, good depth in defense and different options up front.

Its the building of a team, the first time in ages, and what we need.

 

Anyways what the fuck is defoe thinking, staying there- can only be due to his contract/ age making him almost unbuyable- unless he can find a club that buys aged stars with no prospect of a return later on....  :hmm:

Just read some of that topic. How can you even talk to people like that with the drivel they spout? They keep going on about where has the money come from totally ignoring players we've sold and how our wage bill will be "through the roof" despite getting shot of 10+ of our highest earners. They just totally ignore the facts when it comes to us and make up their own stories. ;D

Mate, barely any of our fans understand the concept of a squad.

That thread is mind numbing, the amount of sheer lack of understanding of basic principles and just blind hatred on the lines of  "common sense goes out of the window, need to make a point that the mags suck and invite all my educated mates to wade in with the same utter bile".

 

FFS, there is rivalry and all, but you need to sometimes take those blinkers off and look at things objectively, we've reduced our scored, pulled in more than we sold. No evidence exists but it's a pretty good guess to assume the wage bill has been pruned. We've got a squad of players more than capable of bringing us up, all who want to be here and we still have plenty of potential, there's been some short term buys, like Gamez, Murphy and Diame but on the whole the players we've bought are still at a good age. Once we add the LW to the squad maybe even one or two more, we'll have had a darn good transfer window, but they just can't take those red and white blinkers off for one minute.

 

The funny thing is they slate our approach yet they have had a terrible window so far, so bad even their own manager admits they are likely in a relegation fight, in August !!
