Babylon Posted 5 January 2018 Share Posted 5 January 2018 (edited) 2 hours ago, The whole world smiles said: This is a myth fulled by blind hatred. Looking back on the last few windows (apart from 1) our singings often turn out to be the best signings in the whole leauge or at least top 3. Summer 2017 Maguire - 17 million (Keane went to 30 million that same window) Ibborra - 12 Million January 2017 Ndidi - 16 million (schlupp went for 17 million that same window) Summer 2016 A terrible window nothing positive to say Jan 16 Demari gray - 3 million (what a singing that is with hindsight) Summer 16 Kante - 5 million (wow just wow) Okazaki - 8 million Huth - 5 million Fuchs - free Going back even further when Rudkin was still in post see Cambiasso and Albrighton both free and mahrez for under half a million. Obviously there has been some duffers who haven't fitted etc see kramic, Hernandez, Musa etc but on balance they are doing a very good job compared to most other clubs. So what you're saying is, we get one signing right about every window and completely **** up the rest wasting huge amounts of money. Cambiasso, Albrighton, Mahrez were signed before Rudkin got involved by the way, and Schlupp did not go for £17m. A Myth We've wasted a ludicrous amount of money on players, that's no myth. It's also no myth that we completely fecked up the signing of Silva and looked a complete joke in the process.

Popular Post Tuna Posted 5 January 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 5 January 2018 Slim has to play up front; if Vardy is out for a while then it's important Slim keeps fresh and sharp, playing and scoring goals can only help his confidence. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim is natural number 9 anyway. Because we always tried playing him behind vardy as a shinji hold up player it didnt quite suit him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozartfox Posted 5 January 2018 Share Posted 5 January 2018 3 hours ago, The whole world smiles said: I wouldn't say he's like marmite, marmite is you either love him or hate him and whilst you and others do hate him I don't particularly like or love him. I'm indeffernt at best. But I do think there is a general foxestalk rule of thumb where if a signing works out he gets no credit and when something goes wrong he gets all the blame. He has become the bogeyman of foxestalk. But really if you look at it over the last 4 years you would struggle to find a club our size who has had better dealings than us in the transfermarket. And surly as much as you hate him he deserves a few crumbs of credit for that? I do not ever recall saying 'I hate him', but no problem as non-facts are often bounded about on here. This a thread about the Fleetwood game, so let's leave it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So excluding the big 6 (who have far more cash and are a far more exciting proposition for players) who would you say have performed better than us in the transfer market in the last 3 years.

Popular Post Molson Canadian Posted 5 January 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 5 January 2018 Fleetwood goalie given special clean sheet incentive If a place in the fourth round at the expense of a Premier League champion is not enough. Fleetwood goalkeeper Chris Neal has been given an extra slice of incentive. If Neal keeps a clean sheet, Papa John’s have promised him a year’s supply of free pizza. Neal will receive one month’s worth of pizza for every 7.5 mins he keeps a clean sheet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screwed by injury, could've been a good player for us (obviously no Kante, but not many players are). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we have spent far more than anyone else over the last 3 years. where have you got that from? a brief bit of research shows that. in 15/16 our net spend was the 11th highest in the league. - http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/9976568/how-much-did-your-club-spend-premier-league-transfer-window-net-spend-table In 16/17 our net spend was the 8th highest in the league - http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/premier-league-net-spend-how-8745765 and this summer we were 14th in a net spend League table - http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/premier-league-net-spend-how-11091823 So on average our we are spending the most 11th most on transfers (I know this doesn't include the January windows but I can't see it being too different) could you name 10 sides that have done better business than us? we have out performed all our rivals in terms of club size the transfer market (Palace, Watford, Stoke, Everton) yet people like you are so caught up in your Rudkin witch hunt to see that we are performing pretty well transfer wise.
