No. He's in da fog

So it`s a couple of West Ham players, but not those two.

Thanks, that`s all I needed to know.

Keep up the good work x

It's Siouxsie and a banshee.

Alfie Mawson

Fair point. You even left out the ££££ they got for, oh Christ, whats his name> the striker they sold to Chelsea who was great, then utter pony.

Shows their luck, Torres was world class for them and utter rubbish for a significant rival, banking 50m in the process.

Liverpool have actually done a decent job of that the past while and sold said players on for massive profits

All that moneyball stuff that gets mocked by proper football men actually works.

They choose a system, they only buy young players, sell for a massive profit and reinvest.

We are doing the opposite, we have no system, are buying at peak value and wouldn't even break even.

At the moment we are a brainless football club.

Stones.

I said it in another thread about 6 weeks ago, so I'm sticking to guessing Sturridge and Walcott purely on the basis that they are the only two obtainable players from Sam's one and only England squad!! Glass legs all round, but brilliant on their day.

Are you IndyKaila?!

Tbh i’ve seen enough of Walcott to not give a crap how he played today. He would improve us massively.

A pace reliant player, at 29, with Bolasie and Lennon already playing in the same position for us, with similar ages.

*Throw another £30m onto the bonfire Farhad*

 

[rochdaleblue]

Stones.

That is an exception rather than the rule. The recruitment over the last 2 years has been brainless. We would be lucky to receive half the amounts we paid out for:
Bolasie
Schnerderlin
Klassen
Keane
Siguardsson
That’s close to 150m shelved out.

edit. Torres ffs. Got a mint for him. Mind you, lobbed that at Newcastle iirc

Torres

 

[Eagle Eye]

Hold the phone. He named Antonio and shaw in his first England squad too....

While I agree that we are a bit brainless atm, the only player we are guaranteed to not get a bean from in a future fee is Gylfi. Sure, we, in hindsight, over paid for a few, well, Klasson mainly, all the others have a resale value. Unless football breaks.

Doucoure and Mawson
