Figures 1-0 Football Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Aye, we base our transfer budget on the previous 12 months rather than the next upcoming 12 months. Other clubs are spending their £100m now and we're spending our Championship money from last season. Which also explains why we were able to spend well last season. This summer we'll have the transfer profit from last season, minus any losses we made over the course of the season. Makes excellent financial sense but absolutely atrocious footballing sense.

louistoon Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I'd want more than £5m like, he didn't cost us much less than that. He's a decent goalkeeper with a promising future IMO. It was 5 million for both he and Jamaal, I think Jamaal was probably 75% of that fee. it was around 7-8 mill i thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Great talent but thick as f***. Hopefully Rafa could do something with him. This. Can't say much as I've only seen very little. Seems like a player who's exciting to watch until he has to make a cross or pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 We should be aiming higher than a winger who switched wings at half time so he was on the side with the manager so he could always should instructions to him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Do you honestly think Ryder has a clue what he's talking about? Chronicle have much better connections with the club recently. Rafa is probably using them to put out the message to other clubs we are skint then in order stop them adding an extra £5m because they think we are flush. I can't think of any other reason Rafa would give someone like Ryder any useful information. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Toon Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Do you honestly think Ryder has a clue what he's talking about? Despite being a relentless mong, he's clearly pretty well connected with the club tbh. Has been for quite a while now. So is any kid that hangs around the training ground gates although Ryder comes across more as if he's the most excited fan needing 1 or 2 more autographs for a full set.

Disco Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Aye Nixon is a Boro ST holder iirc. I'd take Traore for the danger factor but our learned fans would despise him so much it's untrue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Huddersfield didn't make a £32m profit last summer, either. It's just typical reluctance to spend anything like what's needed to make the squad PL strong and balanced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we're skint but I think missing the Sky gravy train last season has hit us more than we thought in terms of where we are compared to everyone. Would agree with that. I think the prices going around this summer have hit us for six a bit too. Don't think we were expecting the price tags on players that are being mentioned.
