Can someone please tell me when anything less that £25M wasnt a gamble on any player? Yes the more you pay the more likely you are they will succeed. But ask Man U how good Veron was. Arsenal paid 250k for fabregas, theres no rules and speunking ****loads of cash doesnt guarantee anyone a quality player.

Transfers are a risk to any club at any price.
Yeah, look at Seamus Coleman

Bought for £50.000 to become worth about £3.500.000
 
im sure ive read the following recently that ....

-with players left/leaving we have 110k freed up wages each week
-that bk has given roberto 10 million for transfers
-that the increased tv revenue is being put towards wages ... £4 million worth

so 10 million transfer pot with 9.2 million in wages to play with .

then with heitinga +fellaini potentialy off that would save another 125k wages + add potentially £26 million to the transfer kitty.

so potentially roberto could have 36 million to spend with 16 million for wages to enforce this squad .
is that right ?
 
Trying to stay positive but if we get rid of Fellani and bring in crappy wigan players there is NO way we are finishing above 10th. Not one single player we have been linked to this window is good enough for EFC if we want to move forward and not back.

Well I will put this down to trolling as it is obviously ridiculous to say no one we've been linked with would be good enough.
 
Mirallas was around £6M, and Oviedo was around £5M. But I get your point.

Equally though, all of them were signed prior to the influx of money that's about to come into the game. Hence why I said that £10M isn't what it used to be.

Oviedo was £2m mate.
 
First 11 quality is going to cost a lot of money as our first 11, lets be honest is a very good one. We've moaned all season about how we have virtually no squad, Martinez is addressing that problem with 3 decent signings, and this is all without a player sale. When we sell Fellaini and Heitinga then the first 11 quality will be getting bought.

If we bought BIG first then Kone, Alcaraz and McGeady second, i dont think a lot of people would be complaining.
Were paying virtually 10 mil for 2 players who won't get in the first 11, I would rather buy one player who would get in the first 11 and the player he replaces then becomes squad player. It's the only way we will improve. It reminds me of Rodgers buying Borini and Allen for Liverpool the only difference was they got another 20 mil in January to rectify that mistake, we won't be able too. If we want squad players we could get Redmond and Cornelius for far cheaper and would also be able to sell them if they were no good.
 
At first i was thinking I didn't want Kone but after some of Jelavics performances last season, I'm not so against the idea. At the end of the day though, I don't see the point.

I'd be fine with Alcaraz as back up so long as he was behind Duffy in the queue. If Heitinga splits, we'd only have 3 CB's so it would be a reasonable purchase. I can't see Lescott coming back to be honest

I dont mind Duffy being behind Alcaraz, just as long as Duffy can go out on loan and prove himself.
