McFaul 35 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) For all of the mass ridiculing of LM, how anyone can say we are not a selling club beggars belief. The fact is rightly or wrongly if a bid comes in at the maximum value (or higher) that we rate a player we'll sell. I don't think it was wrong to sell Carroll for £35m, he's a big £10m striker, but what is the point when it's not being invested properly? We have surplus cash through our transfer dealings, how anyone can deny that beggars belief, and the point LM makes is we're two players from being a very good side. He's right, well he's not right, I think we're four players away from being a better squad of players than Liverpool. The fact is we have the money to do it, not money he'll have to fork out of his billions, surplus money from the £51m we generated last year. Are we going to sit on our hands and do fuck all, when we have (by luck) got this brilliant opportunity? Tiote is away, every time I've come up with a piece of ITK I've been right, all I'm saying is he's going to Chelsea in June for £23m. Ba may stay, but Tiote is a player we can't replace. You replace players like him with Michael Essien, I don't mind the fact we can't pay £20m+ for players, but at least keep the best fucking ones so we have a chance to grow. There's no reason to sell Tiote. He has a good attitude, he's an absolute rock in the middle of the park and he on the face of it is happy here. I agree with LM, a lot of people saying things in hindsight here, regarding the side we have, it was good business yes, very good business, but we're known as a selling club, when the fact is we're financially secure enough to hold our own. The success (comparatively) of late, has been the result of luck. That fat bastard had no idea what a success Carr and Pardew would make of it, they were given a remit buy cheap, sell high, repeat ad finitum.

brummiemag1 0 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 We sold players and we bought better ones cheaper, I would say we are maybe 2 players away from being a very good team. Is that a selling club?? Of course we are a selling club, surely even you can see that. Do you think we will build on this season by keeping our best players and adding quality players to the squad in order to push on? Do you think Cabaye, Ba, Krul, Tiote, coloccini etc will all be here at the start of next season or do you think one or more will be sold and replaced by a cheaper alternative? Its obvious to anyone and everyone we are a selling club and to suggest otherwise is nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will always sell our best players and behave like a small club while this man owns us, the the scary thing is, as a top premiership club is the ideal vehicle to sit alongside a worldwide Sports company, he may be here for the long haul.

Well to be honest I've really enjoyed this season, and I honestly hope it continues, but we are the Aldi of football clubs, where we are is down to luck rather than some ground breaking plan. That said I must repeat if it keeps working great, but don't fucking stand still when we've come this far, especially as we have a really solid base now with a genuine chance of breaking up there. This is not deluded, Chelsea are shit, their best players and late 20's to mid 30's they will sooner or later need 7 or 8 new faces to compete that's a fact. You take van Persie away, we're as good if not better than Arsenal, and there's no difference in quality between our best eleven and the dippers. That's not being deluded, tell me if I am, and the point is a little push and we can cement our place as part of a big seven maybe even considering the CL as a remote possibility every season. It's up to Ashley, but I wish people would fuck off sucking his cock, it gets on my tits, and it's fucking clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fat bastard had no idea what a success Carr and Pardew would make of it, they were given a remit buy cheap, sell high, repeat ad finitum. We've got surplus cash if you take the view that every penny of transfer sales should go on transfer spend. Ashley doesnt take that view because you obviously also have to pay for those players once theyre here and obviously theyre going to want more wages than those leaving. If a trainee goes for £35 million, what does a £35 million replacement come in for? They'll expect four or five times the wages-so over 5 years that might cost an extra £20 million again than the original player was on. It's an extreme example but it's the bit that just gets ignored as the debate gets over simplified. It's the wages he's got an issue with rather than transfer fees per se imho. Hence why Barton can go on a free etc etc. So yeah as long as players are looking for more than the ceiling in wages they'll go and as long as there are daft bids (Carroll) they'll go. Theres only a few clubs who can offer this though and Leazes has already said that we shouldnt compete with those teams financially, so the ridicule is deserved because he's just shouting slogans at the end of the day and contradicting himself. That and he's stuck in the past. nb even Chelsea have tried to get Cahill on his existing Bolton wages so it'll be interesting to see where their policy is going in terms of which clubs are likely to just walk in and throw trucks of money at our players.

I blamed him for all the stupid decisions he made so I think it's only right to say fair play re: appointing Pardew and Carr (in particular). I think we all accept he's been a bit lucky.

Aye, this is what I mean though, there will be a time when we do need to increase the ceiling or put in place some sort of imaginative loyalty/bonus system which allows us continue to progress. We will plateau if we don't and that's a massive issue. Whether he does that or not is another matter. On the whole I think it's likely that he won't (or more probably won't go quite far enough when it's vital he does), but the point about us just having £35 million sloshing around for a replacement £35 million striker is over simplifying it (or at the very least not being realistic, because we know Ashley doesn't think that way anyway). Either way though, it'll be decided by what he feels that increment can sustainably be across the team rather than what one £35 million headline transfer replacement decides he wants per week now he's some sort of superstar. I can understand a massive signing pacifying a few, but we never win fuck all anyway so I'm content as long as the overall picture is upward. I'm not deluded in thinking it's inevitable it will be, far from it, but we were expected to be relegated just over a year ago and now the demand is Europe, so if we reach that target it'll be testament to what a certain approach can achieve. The big signing(s) have to come when they are demonstrably a step up from the recent crop we've brought in for modest fees. So far the cheaper players have been better than the 'big' players we've let go by and large. It's when that dynamic changes that there is no option than to look at the bigger 'names'/fees.

toonotl 3110 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Another one of Leazes problems appears to be that a he thinks a top striker would cost '£3 or £4 million'. He can carry on all he likes but no one deserves to be taken seriously after saying something like that. Deaders knows better than that. Why should Leazes be held to a lower standard?
