Koeman: "We've only spent £7m"

[Jamiednm]

I'm all over the place now, tbf. I have no idea who to defend or attack out of Koeman and Moshiri.

That's what happens when you take a completely negative viewpoint on everything and don't allow any pragmatism to inform your thinking.

... am I missing something?

We already know for a fact that our net spend has been low.. so what has Koeman said that's suddenly new information for people?

There's still weeks to go until the window closes...

There were numerous people who have claimed this window that we've invested heavily because 'net spend' is a myth in the way it is calculated.

No, really, I'm not making that up.

So all the clubs who spend well there board members are clowns for Wanting there team to compete? - Yearh ok mate

Huh?

The only owners who have spent THEIR OWN money in this league are Roman at Chelsea(CLOWN), The Arabs at City(SOVEREIGN STATE CLOWNS) and erm, thats it.

No other owner in this league has spent their own money on buying players.

Some of us called this back when Lukaku was sold.

The window is still open so let's wait and see, the acid test is tangible progress Vs just kofing the deck chairs around.

you can't have it both ways Dave, you're either with him or against him.

Depends on net spend or gross spend.

I can pull either of these levers depending on the circumstances.

Koeman getting his excuses in early. This only ends in tears.

Yep.

Pure kopite behavior this. I remember Rafael not having the funds for years.

Find an excuse to post this somewhere every week, goat.

You have to pick one or the other to be fair.

For me, it's net, because that takes into account the fact you're weakening your side. Gross spend doesn't account for Lukaku and Barkley leaving.

I didn't expect £100m net this summer, but I expected £50m+.

I think it's Koeman doing what he's done since he arrived: firing a warning shot across the bow.

The spending has ceased. He's using the media to hand out another reminder to Moshiri that he needs to up his game.

Danger for "The Ronk" is that can get pretty irritating for an owner...especially if the onfield situation is poor.

Expect fireworks round early winter if the wheels have fallen off.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Smoke and mirrors mate, the whole thing.

He got some pretty outspoken people on board early on, fed them utter bullcrap and they and we lapped it up.

Some of them are still peddling the lies on social media, thankfully due to the work from @orly we have maintained a healthy border on GOT.

But this has nothing to do with the fans and what we believe. This has to do with Koeman signing on the promise of significant investment, which may still come, however right now Koeman is calling them out on it.

The real answer is neither matters, the only thing that matters is building the right squad.

If we sell Barkley, McCarthy and others and then buy the 3 players Ronny wants for half that price, he wont care and it shouldnt matter, unless he has to lower his targets due to cashflow.
