over 1.1mil

about 350k a week for our new signings

No way. Schweinsteiger's got to be on close to 200 on his own. Schneid 120 ish, Depay, same, Darmian, 90-100, big Serg, I dunno, what does a fry cook earn at McDonalds these days.?

So were in recession whilst even Bournemouth spend more


say bye bye to the rag traders and hope for an oil seller

Italian reports had Darmian's contract at a surprisingly low figure like £40k a week. Schweinsteiger £130-140k according to reports.

If that's true, he should have a 'double your money' ten year contract in front of him as we speak. It would still be larceny.

Edit: Not Schweinsteiger.

so do these net spend guesses mean we didn't make the CL

It was more than double his wage at Torino seemingly but yeah I'd imagine his agent will be giving Ed a shout in the summer if he keeps going the way he is.

we speak of what is, not of what will be.

Nope, its MUCH better to waste £60 squillion on the likes of di Maria just because we can :shakehead:

No part of that statement is anything near as "shit" as our "big name" signings last year, pal

I'm agreeing with you pol
Just what most people respond to your posts.
I'm more than happy with our lot thank you very much.

Yes but apparently we're @#%&!s for balancing the books and City are @#%&!s for breaking FFP rules.

Don't agree there

I don't give a £#%&! about net spend as we've improved the team in midfeild and defence with Memphis on top for 8m which is top buisiness leaving us over100mil to sort out attack out and maybe a defender.
We always moan that we buy at top prices and get £#%&! all return but now lvg has shipped most of the shit c***s out freeing up wages and funds to get the right players in.
I don't want any Madrid or barca cast offs(maybe bale)especially Latin players that will look at us as a step down.

Wouldn't mind some of that saved cash used to expand the south stand

Nothing's changed.

Leadership at the back is still a joke (along with the balance in possession) and obviously we need a striker.

No point bringing in back-ups cus what we have is already good enough for that. No point bringing in an automatic starter either is there, cus of the knock-on effect. Mess.

Here's hoping LVG shows faith in the young players instead, but get the impression he'll end up doing neither - no major signings and the youth barely getting a look in either.

Let's see where Romero's head's at after the window shuts. Hopefully he has too much respect for the manager to start throwing them in but for some reason I don't trust him - probably the Argie thing tbf.

Bttt
