SEMTEX Posted Monday at 22:08 Share Posted Monday at 22:08 41 minutes ago, brummie said:  They're here for possibly as little as four months each, so it's not a multi year commitment to stupid wages. We're in the last 16 of the CL, and clearly in need of a shot in the arm.  Football is for fun, fuck it, have a go at it. The alternative was what, mook about fretting about wage bills?  The people running us are not stupid, they are aware of the rules  Again, I keep saying this, but we are really clever in the way we move players around. We've sold two youth products twice each in the last season and a half because of clever sales deals. We've just booked, what, £50m profit on a player who wasn't even a regular starter for us, who we bought from the MLS.  The whole financial nonsense is miserable, so I'm with you there. But personally my fear bringing these kind of players in would be how it affects your existing players/morale etc. They're cast-off (somewhat) players with questionable recent history. I think sometimes you can risk your existing harmony/fluidity by bringing them on. This is where NUFC are exceedingly smart. If you never sign anyone, they can't ruin the squad harmony.  Though aye, probably worth trusting in those in charge given how well they've done, before just writing these fellas off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted Monday at 23:42 Share Posted Monday at 23:42 I understand people’s frustrations to an extent, but surely criticising the owners of a football club for not breaking the rules is a little backward? This is all on the PL and the “big six”, not on us. Still, we’ll beat them at their own game eventually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted Monday at 23:44 Share Posted Monday at 23:44 The fact that Man City can spend ÂŁ180mil, more than every other team combined whilst having 115 charges against them highlights how broken the game is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always forget we were a tiny part of it via the Europa League, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were my go to on FIFA online at the time as we’re only 3 star rated but had Eto and Willian and Traore was taller than anyone else in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
