Dames Posted 9 July 2016 Share Posted 9 July 2016 £29m on 4 players is great business in this day as and age. Providing they can do the business too which I'm sure they're capable of. This. Better this than 30+ million on just Troy Deeney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 9 July 2016 Share Posted 9 July 2016 Palace have bid £30m on single players. Man U bought a young defender for that amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphericalfox Posted 9 July 2016 Share Posted 9 July 2016 Does Vardy's new contract not come out of the transfer funds, or are we funding that from our Channel Island account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 9 July 2016 Share Posted 9 July 2016 This. Better this than 30+ million on just Troy Deeney. At least Deeney would have been a probable starter. Keane and Brady are squad fillers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovejoy Posted 9 July 2016 Share Posted 9 July 2016 As well as the four signed this summer, remember our two January buys were Gray for £3.7m and Amartey for £6m. All in all I'd say we've been sensible. Bournemouth are spending £15m on Jordan Ibe, a club that on paper shouldn't be spending the same money as the champions, but are. United are spending £100m on one player when they're not even in the Champions League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facecloth Posted 9 July 2016 Share Posted 9 July 2016 Ok... "would be" squad fillers IF we sign them I just wasn't sure where in a discussion about signing 4 players for £29m against Deeney for £30m that two players we haven't signed come in.

foxes21 Posted 9 July 2016 Share Posted 9 July 2016 Honestly I think we have done the best business so far in the league. Ok Man U got Zlatan & the lad from Dortmund. But their wages alone for the year probably cost 29mill & Eric Bailly was 30mill aswell right? So yeh, think we've done the best business so far imo. 4 quality players for 29mill, another great transfer window for us once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 9 July 2016 Share Posted 9 July 2016 It's a step up in terms of what we usually spend but compared to the rest of this league it isn't even particularly bad from us. Musa came cheaper than I thought he would as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieakita Posted 9 July 2016 Share Posted 9 July 2016 The difference is Taylor would have spent £29 million on Matt Derbyshire, Leo Fortune-West and Gary Hooper Errr don't forget Junior Lewis Mods should issue you a warning for that, anyone who watched him in a City has been trying to forget it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the signings 'make sense' at least on paper and we've not paid a massive amount for any of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristianity77 Posted 9 July 2016 Share Posted 9 July 2016 Regardless of how much we paid for who, if anyone had said at the end of last season that we would get Musa, Hernandez, Mendy and Zieler for 29 million, we'd of all thought that was an absolute steal. Thats only just over half the price Man City paid alone for Sterling, for four players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsintskaro Posted 9 July 2016 Share Posted 9 July 2016 4 players and just 30 mil thats very good but not enough at least 2 more signings,3-4 woiuld be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No and that's my point in Jan it looked like we where paying 20 plus for musa.The money is irrelevant if the players for the bill. But can you tell me most on here knew of a player in a side in la Liga that struggled and Germanys 3rd choice keeper. Let's be honest past Manuel most couldn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuchsntf Posted 10 July 2016 Share Posted 10 July 2016 I keep telling you all, Our unknowns are again going to embarrass, the clubs buying these 'supernames'. Spurs, Liverpool (so far) and ourselves, will end up the happier clubs. If Arsenal and Man.city cant ditch their injury gremlins, they will be struggling again to lay claim to any expected rights. Manu and jose, there is a massive ethos and character change for the great club, no predictions, but more than Man.city, its going to be very interesting. Burnley I see being alot stronger, but still might not be sufficient to keep out of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
