Other teams summer transfer deals/ rumors

[Mrk]

Osvaldo is very, very good when he's in the mood.

I wish we could sign players.

 

[Wat Tyler]

How are we outspent by Southampton and Norwich, such financial powerhouses?

 

[moyeslovechild]

Who?.

47 goals in 99 appearances in his last 4 seasons (in la liga and serie a), more than decent player.

for 15mil - a lot but thats the market atmo. proper nutter as well.

Saints have a billionaire owner for the 93rd time.

Defo. There will be red cards!

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Saddening like to see Southampton spending 40m this summer and we're dropping down to Wigan to spend the bulk of our transfer money on a **** stupid-looking striker.

Not that sad though is it?

How?

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Italy international striker.

How in gods name?!

I would have preferred they stuck with Llanna and Lambert myself, if only because it will help the National Team

 

[MartSlinger]

£15m on a 27yr old who only has 79 goals in 200+ apps seems a bit much for me.

We'll still finish 10+ points ahead of them.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

There seems to be a crisis at Arsenal or Newcastle every week these days

 

[micknick]

Its so annoying that the 6th best team in England has the same transfer budget as QPR, a relegated team

 

[Pabbers]

WTF is going on, £18 million for Osvaldo !?!?!

Even at half of that, they have over-paid.

 

[BoysInBlue]

Whether or not it's a good deal that Southampton have made is irrelevant.

The fact is, they've spent nearly £30m on two players this summer, without selling anyone for significant money. That's investing into the team.

That they're able to do this and outspend us when just 4 YEARS AGO they were in ADMINISTRATION and in LEAGUE ONE is even more galling, and asks even more serious questions as to why they can spend like this and have this investment whilst we can't. Why Bill Kenwright's 'keep the ship steady' approach equates to 'do/spend/invest nothing without sales first', which eventually is an approach that will catch up with us and lead to the club being overtaken and falling down the table.

We shouldn't have to keep relying on miraculous work by a manager to keep bailing us out. A manager needs the tools to work with.

You understand that they have a BILLIONAIRE owner right? Who actually CARES about the club.

And remember QPR spent big last year.

You need to spend LESS time looking and giving a sh*t what other teams do.
