The Fish 10674 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I still think we'll buy over the summer. How could we not, given that so many parts of our team are misfiring. Well, the strikers are misfiring at least. We 8th. Mike happy. Mike no spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 old fashioned thinking, especially with the top clubs ability to hoard quality. It's not really an issie of there being quality to be had, more embarrassing and small time because if we were where we should be then said top clubs wouldn't allow us to loan their players. Basically by loaning from them they're dismissing us as rivals, which is of course the reality but it doesnt mean I have to like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) We should be spending the money we generate, which in turn should be making us more competitive. Which in turn should make top clubs reluctant to loan to us. No devine rights about it Edited March 23, 2014 by ClubSpinDoctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5151 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Have to say, I think spending about £15-20m in the summer would have made us contenders for fifth, looking at how the season panned out... obviously not worth it from Ashley's standpoint though.

ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 But you don't understand why, if we matched our spending to our income, we still wouldn't be outspending them? What? Who mentioned outspending them? If we spent what we generated then we'd be more likely to be seen as a threat to them, leaving them less likely to lend us players. The fact that we don't and the idea of them being willing to improve our team as we're not seen as a threat is embarrassing for a club of our size, to me it is anyway. What part of that is difficult to comprehend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What part of that is difficult to comprehend? If we spent what we earned that we would have had approximately £9m extra per annum over the last three years. Taking £50kpw wages for an extra player that would mean we'd have around £6m for transfers including agents and signing on fees. Would that really be enough to close the gap between us and the more successful clubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
