isleofwightfox Posted 13 May 2014 Posted 13 May 2014 The top ten worst signings in the premier league this season weren't all huge money flops like Fellaini. I'm really glad Pearson is thrifty with his signings and I hope that when we inevitably break our 5.5million transfer record for someone as ineffectual as van wolfswinkel or cornelius.
surrifox Posted 13 May 2014 Posted 13 May 2014 spurs really pi**ed away the bale money on a complete pile of nonsense
The Doctor Posted 13 May 2014 Posted 13 May 2014 Lamela and Jovetic are harsh inclusions given they admit they've been injured most of the season. They don't have suspect injury histories like say Darren Anderton, so that's just unfortunate on their part. Still, I'd trust Pearson more than I trust any other manager to make the most of a premiership budget.
AdamN Posted 13 May 2014 Posted 13 May 2014 Still, I'd trust Pearson more than I trust any other manager to make the most of a premiership budget. Pretty much this. Him and Steve Walsh have a very good record in the transfer market, and Nige doesn't seem like the type to piss millions up the wall on someone who isn't going to fit into the team or isn't worth that amount of money. It's probably one of the least of my worries.
Fox92 Posted 13 May 2014 Posted 13 May 2014 Altidore £6million lol From what I've seen of Lamela, he will turn into a good player. Some players need time to settle when they arrive, look at Dzeko. Anyway, I don't think there's any need to worry. Nige knows what he is doing. He isn't the type to throw money away on rubbish.
EnglishOxide Posted 13 May 2014 Posted 13 May 2014 spurs really pi**ed away the bale money on a complete pile of nonsense And then had the cheek to sack Sherwood who got more out of them than AVB! Really hope they drop out of the top 10 next season.
Captain... Posted 13 May 2014 Posted 13 May 2014 I think it is a greater risk NP won't spend enough and has too much faith in this squad.
Raw Dykes Posted 13 May 2014 Posted 13 May 2014 I'm really glad Pearson is thrifty with his signings and I hope that when we inevitably break our 5.5million transfer record for someone as ineffectual as van wolfswinkel or cornelius. What does this mean?
Agent Fox Posted 13 May 2014 Posted 13 May 2014 I think it is a greater risk NP won't spend enough and has too much faith in this squad. Tend to agree, the three year contract to Nugent...

Guest Posted 13 May 2014 Posted 13 May 2014 I think it is a greater risk NP won't spend enough and has too much faith in this squad. I think he's faith in the squad undoubtedly (and deservedly so) but he's not naive. I've lost count of the times he's stated (this or something to this tune) that if he can find somebody for the right price who'll work in his squad then he'll go for it.

yorksfox Posted 13 May 2014 Posted 13 May 2014 Today's statement unhelpful but not with Nige in charge as any potential signings will have been thoroughly researched and, almost certainly, represent good value for money. He won't go down the Sven route, not in his nature, fortunately!
adam Posted 13 May 2014 Posted 13 May 2014 But what if the thais want some big signings to increase our profile? Can see Nige being forced into a few signings.
EnglishOxide Posted 13 May 2014 Posted 13 May 2014 But what if the thais want some big signings to increase our profile? Can see Nige being forced into a few signings. Id like to think they learned their lesson last time. Im disappointed that a number of fans think we should sign half a new squad. The reason we pissed the league this season is because we benefitted from stability and a tight knit squad. We should not stray from that way of doing things. Two or three signings at the very most, then we re-assess in January. Remember we have 8 less league games next season and Nigel likes a settled starting lineup. The last thing we need is a load of players on good money not even making the bench every week. Not good for squad morale id have thought.
ozleicester Posted 14 May 2014 Posted 14 May 2014 Carroll, 35 million was it? Its not how much you spend, its if you buy in panic, if the window is closing and we havent made the signings.. i hope we dont panic and throw cash at a less than impressive player.
Guest Posted 14 May 2014 Posted 14 May 2014 Isn't bad signing always a worry? They worried me throughout most of the last 10 years
MC Prussian Posted 14 May 2014 Posted 14 May 2014 Aha - first signs of some reality creeping in........ In the context of this thread and its subject, reality is when we'll have signed a few players and seen what they're capable of or what they've brought to the side. Until then, your "reality" is basically just all hypothesis.

We'll have about 18 players left from this season, there's 25 spaces to fill. There will surely be a few more than 3 new signings.
Vicki Vixen Posted 14 May 2014 Posted 14 May 2014 We once signed Junior Lewis - its all uphill from there
