Brock Manson 0 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 £12 million! That's surely a fair old chunk of their transfer budget considering they need a CB. Decent player though tbf, but he's nowhere near a £12m buy. More expensive than Cisse ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 As mentioned, Wolves spent £7m on him, owe Burnley a percentage of any sell-on, he has a bit to go on his contract and he's got a 1 in 3 ratio for 2 relegated teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2204 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Surprising amount of money for Fletcher. My impression of MON at Villa was he signed a lot of ordinary players for too much money. Hopefully he can keep that going..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10422 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I don't understand this signing? Been relegated twice by two different teams. He's only scored 12 in each of the past 3 seasons, highest tally is 14. I suppose you can say he's consistent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he is but in relegated teams how many of those goals were when the team was 4 or 5 down and they brought on the reserves...I'm sorry call me cynical but I just don't rate him.

ewerk 29474 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'm disappointed that they're getting them cheaply. I thought they'd easily waste £20m on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 16505 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Ferguson talking sense about the current transfer climate (after RVP crack): http://www1.skysport...-waiting-on-RVP The Scot said: "I find it quite amazing that a club can pay €45million for a 19-year-old boy." Ferguson continued: "To make a mark on everyone - to tell everyone that PSG are here - they have signed Thiago Silva from Milan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. "They must have spent about £150m in the last month. As you know, the only deterrent to that is UEFA. "In the conditions of European football, you don't qualify for Europe by winning the league or coming second - you only get in by invitation. "That's where, hopefully, UEFA can have some power. When somebody's paying £45m for a 19-year-old boy you have to say the game's gone mad." Only unfair when manu dont have the money to compete....how much were Rooney and Ferdinand?....selective memory, he is over 70 after all :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I think Colin Kazim-Richards is a good signing for Blackburn, I think 14/1 is a canny price on them to win the Championship. Owen away to Fenerbahce too, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moura has done fuck all, they signed Rooney when he'd been the best player in Euro 2004, while Ferdinand and Ruuuuuud were 24 when they signed for Man Utd.

Howmanheyman 31565 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 How did Man U pay all those record transfer fees when sky weren't around and when sponsorship was minimal compared to today? Their crowds might have been 10k or so higher than most but admission prices were a lot lower then yet they could always splash the cash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly was fuck all to do with Martin Edwards, they had a massive deal with UMBRO and with Sharp. Newcastle were paying £850,000's out for the likes of Beasant and Andy Thorn, they'd pay £2.3m for the likes of Pallister and Danny Wallace, they were living within their means.

Howmanheyman 31565 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 In the seventies as well? Robson, Birtles etc were £1M men when it was very rare. They've had the most biased press and media coverage of any club in this country for nigh on fifty years which has lead to the bloated giant eating up massive sponsorship deals like they have today as every prick from Milton Keynes to Dublin, from Tokyo to Singapore buys into the club and sponsors pay them big bucks for it. They spent 26 years trying to buy a title and you have to laugh when you hear their 'holier than thou' shit that was directed at any other club, (including us!!) who tried to do the same.

It's all to do with Munich mate. Newcastle and Arsenal were the most successful and generally best supported clubs in England up to the point of the Munich Air Disaster.
