£6m?

I'd spend £10 m on Milner and £4 m on two new centre backs or a left back.

If there's one management team that'll deliver that for us then it's this one. One dodgy transfer window shouldn't go against what were largely good ones and the sacking of Robinson suggests that Pearson/Walsh weren't the problem.

 

Come to think of it... did Robinson really do us any good in terms of signings? Cambiasso is the best coup he made but you got the feeling from what Cambiasso said that Pearson played a very big part in that. Players like Mahrez, Hammond, Wasilewski etc... how much competition did we actually have for buying them? Was Robinson really a deciding factor? I get the feeling we missed out more this summer than we succeeded.

 

I get the hint Robinson was brought in primarily to help clear out the rest of the shite to Bolton that was still lingering around and now we're looking to bring someone in (or just going with Rudkin) to be more competent at bringing players in.

 

I've gone off on one here anyway. Six million is a bit small but like I say, we've got some very shrewd operators at this club and considering he's put something in the same article about Kramaric possibly coming for eight million you can't help but feel he means the six million as a net spend. Don't forget we've got squad registration to deal with here. We may have to sell before buying.

 

Get entirely where you are coming from Dan in response to my point mate; I just worry that we have already shown once this season we aren't likely to go spending big which is admirable but a bit of a concern given the rumoured £10m we spent in the summer has only proven fruitful on 2 or 3 players. 

 

This is likely to be the most important transfer window we have had as a club in recent years, because so much rides on its outcome. Here's to hoping we get what we need to keep us up then build on it next season as a Premier League club once more.

I can't understand why they say we have a budget of only £6 million when each Premier League team gets £66 million in TV money alone and we only coughed up £11 million in the summer.

How big is the wage bill?

Do we have to pay off the debt all in one go?
