Summer Transfer Window 2017

[Thomasc]

You mean when we sold Stones

No mate, that was last August, when we signed Williams, Bolasie, Gana paid off Martinez, etc etc...I mean, how many windows you dragging the Stones fee over exactly?

Mori and Robles say hi!

And McCarthy

 

[BlueToff]

Yes, I never said it could have gone down any other way, but that doesn't change the fact he's still not really spent anything on players as of yet. I am not saying he won't, just that he hasn't yet.

He has, actually.

We finished summer 2016 around £9m in the red.

Finished Jan 17 having spent £34m.

But okay.

Mori and Robles say hi!

I wonder if Hull might come in for Robles, im sure they have just sold there Keeper an need a new one

Now that it's dawning on the deluded ones that we are unlikely to be highly positive in net spend "it doesn't matter about net spend"

Brilliant

Did you think we'd have a massive net spend when we were so obviously going to sell Lukaku and probably Barkley too?

Think you may be the deluded one.

Net spend obsession is for kopites.

This summer the club have massively increased the costs of its players, in money spent and wages paid. It's a big investment and if anyone can't see it then its dead weird.

Funny you should say that.

 

[blue to the bone]

There's a very simple way to stop this bickering. It's called the ignore button

 

[Tel001]

Personally think net spend matters a great deal when Moshiri is being hailed a god and he's not spending his own money, just recycling the clubs money by selling our best players.

You mean being run like an actual sustainable business?

lollol Why would it matter what are net spend is? You are clearly the deluded one if you think that is what defines a successful summer. Sandro is probably a 20m player that we have got on the cheap because of his release clause, a players price often doesn't reflect his ability.

 

[Tel001]

Glad to see the Martinez dead wood being moved this window. We just have Niasse left and we are done

Niasse , McCarthy, mori, Robles need to go IMO... then sign a ST,CB,RB,LB and maybe another CM then our squad will be pretty damn good.

We should go and offer 45 million for a right back from Accrington stanley. Will keep the net spend crowd happy when he signs.

 

[GustaveH]

How so?

He scored more goals than him last season

 

[everton2004]

We should go and offer 45 million for a right back from Accrington stanley. Will keep the net spend crowd happy when he signs.

That's the spirit!

Accrington Stanley looks at paltry transfer bid

files formal protest that we are unsettling their part time RB who had a breakout season w/ 3 appearances in the League 2 team of week last season.

 

[a bell maul]

The obsession with net spend nonplusses me...it is a specious metric.
