IMAMATEOFJOVSKY FiNeRaIn Stranded Now come on Dirk you know well enough that only our players are of any interest to PL clubs and anyway even if others do lose they'll go straight out and spend millions on replacements whilst we'll spend nothing as JM pockets the dough...
Whilst clearly in a mocking tone, the last part of that is not something to joke about. The reason I dont want hunt going is we won't see any of the funds used, so why bother selling players? We still have a whopping amount of unused cash from our summer transfer dealings we haven;t spent, why do we need another 3-5 million of unused cash?
Totally agree ; what comes, in stays in - so why sell . We must have made over £10m in transfers recently (as well as wage savings on top earners like Shorey and Kitson)- will be interesting to see how much is spent, anything above £2m will be nosebleed time
Are you happy with Armstrong at left back ?
Are you happy with NHunt up front ?
If the answer to these is yes, then why keep harping on about using the funds. Our style is to replace with bargain versions that do the job - they've done the job. Sir Steve has always been able to unearth a few gems, but his track record with big money purchases is less than ordinary.
What will be interesting will be not how much we spend on replacements, but how those replacements perform.
