I think it's a good litmus test for any total football charlatan if they 'rate' or are 'impressed by' Colback since he offers absolutely no redeeming features as a player, there is no redeeming quality at all. I can understand a soft spot for a perhaps ineffectual player who occasionally leathers one in or does the odd great pass (looking at you Shelvey) but Colback has nothing. If someone likes him I have to presume

a) they don't actually watch football much and get all their opinions from terrible pundits like Keys etc

b) are so out of it that the only player they recognise on the pitch is Colback cos of his hair and therefore assume he is having a good game

c) haven't paid attention to football for the past 20 years and still think a good midfielder runs around in circles aimlessly while the ball sails over their heads.

 

I suspect Colback flatters to deceive in Brucie's training as without any intensity his passes may connect and he may get to a player in time to tackle. Unfortuately that is Colback operating at 100% and as soon in a proper premier league game he is absolutely nowhere near the level required. All he does is take the ball, panic, look around then pass the ball 4 feet backwards. And give away dangerous free kicks.

What’s the net spend so far? Anyone worked it out?

 

Erm Joe Linton £40m less Jose £30m = £10m?

 

Who else have we signed? Not counted them kids

 

bit for joselu and well to throw in?  wages off the bill etc.

 

 

So without wages and small fee for the Hoss we have spent £8 million  :lol:

 

 

But but Mike has smashed the transfer record  :rolleyes:

Spot on. Little sod hides from the ball too.  Got so sick of seeing us in possession and, rather than make space for a pass, he'd run to the nearest opposition player effectively marking himself out of the game.

Wages off the bill don't count, only future wages. The Ashley way.

Colback isn't fooling anyone by flattering to deceive in training. There are only two plausible reasons why a manager would want him in midfield:

 

1) He's British

2) The manager is simply clueless

You forgot about Diame. He was on huge wages (relative to this club) as he signed on as a free agent. Not sure who the highest earner was but he was up there with them.

I bet that joelinton was actually 20m plus the rest in unattainable bonuses so we will be in profit. Again

I still think we will sell players to European teams after the deadline, we will purchase more players and probably spend a few quid but overall that will be recouped.

How come £50k a week seems to be the new top wage? I've said it before we pay nowhere near £94 million a year wages like it says in the accounts Ashley is taking money out of those figures.

30 (random) x 50k x 52 weeks is only 78m. Penfold and the tea lady are on a canny screw like.

Add on National Insurance and you get to around £85m, then signing on fees will be there as well. I'd put money on us inflating signing on fees which is in part a further payment to agents that we don't want to disclose

No way do we have 30 members of staff on £50k a week

Didn’t they pay an extra £500k per position over 18th the season before last? There’s £4m. There’ll no double be clean sheet bonuses, win bonuses, goal/assist bonuses thrown in too.
