BLACKANDWHITEGEORDIE 0 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 It is often reported that Ashley will not pay big money for players. Since he took over in 2007, the following are examples of fees he has paid. Remy Cabella £12.0 million Colo £10.3 million Cisse £10.0 million Guttierez £ 7.0 million Anita £ 6.7 million Mbiwa £ 6.7 million Enrique £ 6.5 million Riviere £ 6.3 million Siem De Jong £ 6.0 million Alan Smith £ 6.0 million Joey Barton £ 5.8 million Debuchy £ 5.5 million Janmaaat £ 5.0 million Cabaye £ 5.0 million Whether most or some were worth the fees is debatable. In total he has paid out £149.6 million in transfer fees and received £166.95 million making him a net profit of £17.35 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Thinks what make Ashley a twat Free SD Advertising Dodgy deal with Puma Transferring the clubs retail income to SD Stadium renaming Sacking Keegan Appointing shit managers Appointing a shit coaching staff Aversion to the cups Signing players cos they're a bargain rather than what we need Selling players for a quick return oblivious to gaps in the squad Constant lies Things what don't make him a twat Transfer Spending His interest free loan There are a lot of fans who want to beat him up for those 2 things, which is odd when there's so much else to bash him for.

Everton paid about £27m for Lukaku that's a big fee. £12m for Cabella (if that figure is correct and I doubt it) is way less than we paid for Shearer twenty years ago.

Happy Face 29 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 How do you figure? The club spends what it can afford on it without going into hock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 He's a twat for not reinvensting the money made on players On average he's sold £21m worth of players a season and reinvested over £19m of it. Spending 91p of every pound isn't all that bad. If you aren't spending it until you have it then it's about the best you can hope for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31902 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 The club spends what it can afford on it without going into hock. For 2012/3 we signed one player in the summer window despite making a £10m profit for the period. We're set to announce record profits for an entire year in which we did not make one significant permanent signing. I'd say we haven't been allowed to spend what we can afford.

We're set to announce record profits for an entire year in which we did not make one significant permanent signing. I'd say we haven't been allowed to spend what we can afford. One of us is looking at different periods. In Summer 12/13 we got £5.5m for Best and Foster and we spent £8m on Anita, Good and Bigirimana In January we got £7m for Ba but spent almost £18m on Debuchy, Mbiwa, Gouffran, Haidara and Sissoko. A £13m net spend for the season. http://www.nufc.com/2014-15html/transfers-pardew.html But in 13/14 we basically sold Cabaye and that was it. Looking at periods in isolation you can paint a picture of player trading being massively profitable, but in the summer just gone, Ashley's total cumulative player trading after 8 years showed just over £3m profit. His criteria is clearly that the club can spend what it earns. Just not necessarily as soon as it's in the coffers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7383 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 With the new TV deal we earn a lot more than we spend though. Other teams upped their spending accordingly last summer, we didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact we spent the Cabaye and Debuchy money is what I'm saying. And others are saying we don't do that. I expect us to invest a good wedge of last seasons profits in the summer. Almost everything the club has done previously suggests it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the squad is so understrength and the number out of contract in the summer, he has no choice but to spend. Going to need 6-7 new signings, but I doubt they'll get that many in.

Monkeys Fist 44008 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Having transfer funds is only a small part of it, it's who is spending those funds that makes the biggest difference. Give a wise man £10 and he'll make a fortune, give Charnley/Carver/Carr £20-30 million and we'll still end up shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 There'll be no point spending millions if Carver is still in charge. His lack of skills would nullify us even if we signed Messi and Ronaldo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 3310 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) I'm not sure what the point of this thread is. 'Ashley won't pay big money for signings'. '...list of relatively average/cheap signings...' '...summarises that Ashley has made a profit on transfers thereby not only not spending money on big signings but not spending money on signings at all'. This B&W bloke can't even WUM effectively. I blame it on him losing his father in that house fire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU_ggFovJNo Edited March 20, 2015 by toonotl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
