peach0000 Posted 27 May 2013 Share Posted 27 May 2013 Ok so i was just thinking if you look at our team in our las match and how much was spent on them you get (correct me if i'm wrong on any) Kasper £1m De laet £1m* Morgan £1m Keane loan Schlupp £0 (from academy) Knocky £2.6m possibly less different things quoted everywhere King £0 (from academy) James £1m* Dyer £0 Wood £2m Nugent £0 *Joint £2m deal So those 11 players cost a total of £8.6m which isn't bad. However its ****ing brilliant if you consider these three fees Matt Mills £5m Beckford £4m Waghorn £3m So on those three players a total of £12m spent on them. I was just thinking what a good position we would be in with some smarter spending. I was wondering what others views on this is edit- slight changes to the fee are not really the point.

peach0000 Posted 27 May 2013 Author Share Posted 27 May 2013 Morgan 1.8, Schmeichel 1.2 Ok I will change it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted 27 May 2013 Share Posted 27 May 2013 Ok I will change itI'm not sure it's 100% for Wes but my Grandad says that it said 1million rising to 1.8 in the Evening Post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGLCFC Posted 27 May 2013 Share Posted 27 May 2013 Whilst I agree that the fees for Mills, Beckford and Waghorn accumulate to £12mil, I'm not sure we ever paid this, as many of the deals had add ons for appearances, getting to the Premier League etc. Still I take your point, a lot of wasted money, however, in hindsight it's easy to say. I think most fans were excited about these signings at the time, a pity they didn't work out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okie fox Posted 27 May 2013 Share Posted 27 May 2013 I thought Waghorn was £2M, conditionally rising to £3M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted 27 May 2013 Share Posted 27 May 2013 Morgan was £1m so was Kasper. Wood was £1.5m, Knockaert was £750,000 rising to somewhere in the region of £2m+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherharboroughfox Posted 27 May 2013 Share Posted 27 May 2013 Mills was the only real flop.Beckford played well and is a goalscorer, but took flak from most of our fans because they'd rather have someone who would run around all game but not score. Waghorn is pretty obvious, everyone wanted him here he just hasn't been as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoareyaaa Posted 27 May 2013 Share Posted 27 May 2013 Sven probably spent another 5-7million on the loans and player contract renewals, disgraceful really and we are stuck with the big spending tag for the next few years no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time I thought the Hull one was harsh, but was plain stupidity. Still think the Birmingham red wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, most defenders are hoof-ballers, they hoof it because they aren't comfortable to to anything else, majority of our previous defender were only equal to him imo. Kisnorbo and co. and they were part of the meanest defence in the country ( I think) that season, i agree, wrong time, to big price on his head and with that the expectation.

Waghorn is pretty obvious, everyone wanted him here he just hasn't been as good. And with Beckford we had the lethal combination of someone who doesn't run around all game, still doesn't score and then throws a hissy fit and asks to leave the club the minute he's dropped.

Guest ttfn Posted 28 May 2013 Share Posted 28 May 2013 Mills and Beckford were both dreadful signings. There's probably a competent Championship player in both of them, but at £1 million each and £7-8k a week it would have been a borderline justifiable outlay. Given what we paid for both, they were awful signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
