adios 717 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Has Ashley given you some reason to think he's going to take money out of the club? If not, where do you think all the cash is going to go if not towards transfers/wages/general improvements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Quality players are commanding fees that would eat up more than half of our realistic budget. We need to see what we can pick up on loan or cheap first then go big on whatever is required afterwards. We'll spend plenty of money it's just a minefield knowing where to start. I think we're looking to sort out a few issues at reasonable cost before committing to bigger purchases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Agree with Quiff, it's frustrating as a fan not to have plenty of new players but I think once the money from some of these high fee players starts being spent we'll see a fair bit more movement. I have a hard time thinking that we'll enter the season with what we have and that Rafa will walk. We're in for this Murphy lad and likely others, as supporters it's justifiable that people just want to see him in but I don't have a problem with the club trying to negotiate his fee down a bit so they have more to spend on others. If they botch it all up and we end up with basically what we have going into the last week of the window then I'll start to get mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 The thing for me is Murphy should be an easy signing for Charnley to oversee. If he takes all this time over an easy one. Dog help us when he gets to a £20/30 million player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which even you and Etwerp will admit that does not bode well for our season. Etwerp is a new one. Not any better than previous attempts but still, at least it's something different. My point, that you failed to grasp, is that we don't have a history under Ashley of making last minute panic purchases, despite what you say.

trooper 940 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 i agree we dont make last minute panic purchases because after we've dithered on about wether to put an offer in for a player they've normally signed for somebody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 To add insult to Etwerp's injury, Xisco was another last minute panic buy which some say was the start of the rot under Ashley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31207 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 After twenty transfer windows under Ashley two or three examples of deadline day transfers do not constitute a history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7171 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Couple of papers suggesting we might make a £10mil bid for Ojo at Liverpool A quick google shows he played 6 months on loan at Wolves, was dropped from the match day squad and Wolves fans were happy to get rid when his loan was cut short £10mil I know it's only paper talk but we bought Richie and Townsend for a similar price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
