I completely agree that prices have gone mental.

 

on the other hand, I couldn't give a fuck. A million pounds to me is mental. That prices have risen in place with the TV deal isn't surprising and it's not my money. Bargains and failures will still happen. As long as we get the players Rafa wants I'm not bothered if they cost 2million of 200million

Aye, you want to see the club being prudent really. The problem these days is trying to establish what prudent even is - certainly it doesn't appear to be anything like what it was a couple of years ago.

The clubs Twitter feed is milking this Lejeune signing for all it's worth like. They've posted about 3 interviews/articles a day with him since he signed. I wouldn't mind if they had pushed the boat out and made a marquee signing but he's an £8mil CB no-ones heard of

As a supporter you don't really gain anything from the club being prudent, and they expect anything but from you. You want them to be visionary and innovative and invest in key management, coaching and support roles that facilitate meaningful nurturing of talent and effective acquisition of players.

I don't think ambition and prudence are mutually exclusive.

 

It's nice not to end up in administration, or avoiding worst case scenario actually having a team left to support.

The only team to actually go out of business was Rangers and that was nowt to do with transfer spending.

 

Like I said Im not advocating splashing out loads on average players, I just want Rafa to get the players he wants regardless of cost because it's not my money and I would rather see full Rafa team than a cheaper approximation.

Plenty of teams have gotten themselves completely fucked over by poor transfer decisions and wage structures.  Leeds; Portsmouth; Sunderland.

 

Obviously we want Rafa to have the money required to rebuild a Premier League side, but he'll have £100m, not £2-300m, and needs to budget accordingly.  That's why the current prices are such a shit-show, being quoted half the transfer budget for a decent striker alone.

We've turned down £5mil from Boro for Darlow

 

If we can get £7mil+ for him and bring in Reina I'll be happy. Although we might be underselling Darlow in the current market. He had a good season for us and was unlucky to be dropped imo

I kind of expected us to sell Darlow, Rafa is all about trust and Darlow made a few bad howlers last season. In the prem they will cost us even more

We're aren't really even being linked with anyone, are we?

 

Other than Ryder's story about Darlow linking us to Reina? And yesterday's link to Murphy from Norwich? NUFC.com usually does a good job of collating all the rumours from all manners of shite

Think the lack of links might be on purpose, most of our signings last season weren't linked prior were they?

 

Agree with this. They do seem to come out of the blue to a degree.
