Theoretical question

[turner]

Nugent- I think he would pour his heart and soul into playing for us and would probably only cost around £2m.

i think if we paid anything over one million we would have been badly done over. plus i think we could spend the money better than on someone who when everyone is fit would be the fifth/ sixth choice striker.

Less than 15million Moyes is the credit crunch king

Truthfully we would need in the range of 25 to 30 million. Need two more playmakers in midfield and a proven forward that puts them away. After this FA cup semi final Ossie was to absent I'm feeling he has reached his plateau and we need more quality to move forward. I love him to bits but his body is wearing down with the number of games.

Here's the difference between the Man Utds and us. That team that Fergie started today was probably worth more in transfer fees than our 1st choise 11. Jesus F-in Christ Carlos Tevez is their 3rd-4th striker. Carlos Tevez buy himself could get you into Europe.

We need a world class RW such as Valencia (15M)

A world class striker who would spearhead the attack in the final 1/3. So Arteta would not have go forward as much and could boss the middle of the pitch. A Carlos Tevez (25M) or Arshavin (20M)

No injuries - this means you Cahill, Vaughn, Saha and Arteta.

A couple 4-5M to provide depth during the ANC (Steven Hunt, Guiterriez)

Crash out early of a couple cup competetions.

So about 50M?

only transfers that i really admire of Rafael's are Reina for 6mil, alonso for 10.7mil and torres for 20mil, coincidentally they're all spanish

Aye those 3 are class,no doubt about that..even he can get it right sometimes.

But back to the original question as a bare minimum we'd need 50 mill to top up the squad,but lets be honest here we aint got it so its all irelivant tbh,DM's doing what he does best with very little cash so i think we'd be happy with more of the same.

Our way back to the top is with the younglings coupled with the odd big money signing

Spot on Linglong. We can dream but in reality the young and shrewd purchases from the lower division will be our bread and butter for some time. I will say if we sell a couple we could get a prize player but I think it may be doubtful this year.
