Cash, the 'never never' and now

[HirsuteBlue]

Currently Moyes is making noise about having no cash to sign more boys. Specifically Donovan.
We signed Heit, Bily and Distin last summer allegedly with the cash we got from the Lescott deal. What if that Lescott money was used to pay off parts we owed for Fellaini. And maybe Pienaar and Jags?
Could a very quiet summer be the fallout from previous summer splurges meaning we take steps to be back in the black?
Alternatively, could the contract situations being played out currently be the main factor in Moyes would be recruitment drive? (Too many players expecting structure breaking wages meaning certainly less space for players but also no working capital to actually go out and sign fresh).

I normally would say splashing the cash on such an expensive player is bad for a club in our financial situation. But, buying Landon is like buying a giant advert for the club across the richest country in the world -- in the midst of a new influx of 'soccer' fans. Now, the amount of shirts we'd sell to Yankee doodle Landy fans would add up to a lot. Landon is more than a player, so in this case I don't care if Kenwright has to borrow the money from Tony Soprano -- just get it done. Please.

I think were pretty skint this year. Wanting a Fellaini will only lead to utter despair on deadline day.

 

[GhostOfDixie]

Well I for one have the petrol, the rags and the matches at ready. You'll see the flames for miles.

Good point, that's the only real reason I'm not convinced on Landon yet.

Great player but I do hate americans and I'm not sure I can stand it if we get any more yankee fans.

At least the French have the decency to disown their players when they come over here.

Oh come on now, you cant just "hate americans".. George Bush and Paris Hilton, yes you can hate them, but there have been lots of very friendly Yanks coming onto GOT since i've been here and even if we sell half a dozen shirts to the folk across the atlantic we're doing better than we would without them..

hate you too cutie.

Moyes has been given a budget and hes decided how to spend it, hes offered much of the first team squad new contracts, which is fair enough.

He didnt say he didnt have any money he said he didnt have the funds for Donovan and a move seemed unlikely not impossable, from his comments i got that his age and fee didnt really fit in with his policy.

I have the feeling we will see another couple of additions before the start of the season.

Would really like to see us go for Tom Cairney.

To explain, I work in a university. And we get loads of academics from all over the place, Nigeria, Russia, Greece, Italy, Australia etc. I even watched the Slovenia game with a lass from Ljubljana. (Donovan sending them out was a bit of an awkward moment.)

And I have yet to meet an American academic, no matter how pleasant or interesting otherwise, who I can talk to sport about without wanting to smash their head against a brick wall. The thought of those guys turning up to Goodison is not one I'm particularly fond of.

 

[chicoazul]

If you're creating the nom nom then ace work.

Now, that Slovenian bird, you well did right?

 

[GhostOfDixie]

He does have a point about Americans. They do seem to be tarred with the same brush.

When I was in Mexico at Senor Frogs - a boat load of shorts wearing, cap donning, bumbag (fanny pack wtf????) wearing loud bud swilling yanks infested the place.

I love Canadians more.
