You Spend £5.5m

[Southbank Old Boy]

I'd love to see the money used to bring in a player like Watson or Whitehead to start with.

Replacing Kitson with another forward capable of holding the ball up and creating a few chances is pretty vital too, and we'll probably have to spend a couple of million to do so. I can't think of anyone off the top of my head but if we lose Doyle in the next couple of weeks I hope we're all over Nugent as a replacement, maybe using Shorey as the bait in a swap deal.

That would mean we could potentially make a move on this Mattock kid at Leicester that's been mooted a bit too.

Easy.....................Mr Mads new car !!

[RoyalBlue]

£2 million to repay my loans
£3 million on some tossy sculpture to donate to the british people
£500,000 bid for Nugent from Portsmouth - trouser the cash and complain that nobody wants to come to us when it is refused

You are me and I claim my £5.

So there are now 2 of us who don't think Mr Ego is The Messiah, Mother Theresa and Nelson Mandela rolled into one! We should be careful, or else we could start something here.

Strap, how could you forget me when we both go back so far (to the days when RoyalMail was the main way of communicating on matters RFC)?!

I have a feeling that we may have been expressing similar views back in 1995/96!

[Wycombe Royal]

David Nugent, a proven goal scorer at this level. Pompey want 6m for him, he`s not worth that, but why don`t we try a 4-4.5m take it or leave it bid. Pompey owe us a big one anyway!!!!

Nugent said in an interview last week that he wouldn't sign for a club just promoted to the Prem or one that has just been relegated.

[rotherwick_royal]

Ben Watson 1.5million
Cameron Jerome 3 million

Good call.

[rotherwick_royal]

I might get dodded for this again but I previously suggested Josh Kennedy.

Currently playing for Wolfsburd in Germany. Tall and has good feet. Kennedy is being groomed as Australia's replacement for Viduka and did well in the last world cup. Before I get dodded think, we need to look within the budget, this guy has played in the bundeslegia and is young.

I don't mind the sound of Nugent but would suggest a straight swap with Shorey - both have been fringe England players and in value not much between them.

Good call on Kennedy

Could be a good one - but he's very injury-prone.

Perfect replacement for Kitson then!

Baldrick says "I have a cunning plan"

5.5m would buy all of Luton Town's squad - let's buy the whole squad then sell the good ones on in the January transfer window

[Silver Fox]

How much is Noel HUnt going to cost?

How about we give them Shorey and in return we get Nugent and a million quid.

good idea. my mate is a pompey fan and i suggested the same deal to him yesterday.

[Trev]

Buy Jimmy Kebe's brother.

[friday fan]

How about a group of us get together and go somewhere exotic and blow it all on booze and women? any takers

[Jez]

With Birmingham getting Phillips and Marcus Bent in that leaves them with

Forsell
Phillips
Bent
O'conner
Jerome
Mcfaddon

surely its worth a cheeky bid for Jerome ( proven at this level and reportedly unhappy at brum) or for that matter O'conner who i dont think we saw the best of last season!

[SCIAG]

Don't waste your time with answering this thread - i can tell you now that the money won't be spent on buying new players, we didn't do it last year when we had more money so why do it know - the club has stated that the squad has to be reduced more so why are we gonna get more players in.
£5.5m is going into the Mr Mad back pocket fund, got to pay for the media centre and extension to the hotel some how!!

We spent £4m plus effectively £1.5m on Rosinor in summer, then £1.8m in January. That's £7.3m.

In case you're wondering:

£1m Bikey
£2.5m Fae
£500k (ish) on Cisse
£1.5m worth on Rosinor- swap for Seol who we signed for £1.5m.
£1.5m on Marek
£300k (ish) on Kebe.

Hulse is a good call, so is Kennedy, but Jerome won't be allowed to leave (Forsell has left, McFadden is going, o'Connor isn't good enough). Marlon King is surplus at Wigan?

I know for a fact you were expressing the same views in Spring/Summer 05.

[Platypuss]

£1.5m worth on Rosinor- swap for Seol who we signed for £1.5m.

That makes no sense whatsoever.

If we'd have given Fulham £1.5M plus Seol for Rosenior you might have had a point.

If we'd have given Fulham £1.5M plus Seol for Rosenior you might have had a point.

If we'd sold Seol to someone else and bought Rosenior for 1m, we'd count that in the club's spending - even if we'd given Seol away. If my dim memory is right, the Seol-Rosenior deal was not a swap but rather 1m each way. So you should count something for Rosenior. Either way, it's about 6m plus Rosenior.
Not enough, although if Fae had lived up to our valuation it would have been enough, but significantly more than those who say we didn't spend anything would have us believe.

No way will Stoke spend 20 million, even if they want to.

Watson is off to QPR.

Forsell left for Hannover about a month ago. Mcfadden and Larsson are rumoured to be leaving, if so they will be as screwed as us. HTH

[Streets]

We haven't recieved £5.5m for Kitson. Some of that depends on Stoke staying up and is paid in installments.

If you think Coppell has been given £5.5m to spend as a result of Kitson's sale, you are deluded.

I expect we have maybe a transfer kitty of say £2m to spend.

Don't get your hopes up!
