I feel someone wasn't being nice when they picked his wikipedia photo (Can't link, still haven't posted enough since the account wipeout a while back!) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Chung-Yong
 
I had a dream last night that I saw felliani on a bus tryed to talk to him first he ignored me then at my second attempt we got talking and he said Honda is a cert and he isn't going to arsenel but he is off in about two weeks.

So there you go it may of been a dream but I think we can all agree its more reliable then twitter.

Also if this dose happen am I an ITK dream walker :lol:

Your presumption that the increased tv money will be used for player purchases fails to take account of reality.

Reality is, the bottom club will get an extra £21m, the top PL club an extra £40m and we will get somewhere inbetween.

Why don't you use your simple maths to tell us what it will be spent on?

As Kenwright ever had the money to reduce the debt ay?. No he hasn't!. Before this summer, we earned something like £86 million plus a season through tv money, season tickets, merchandise sales etc, etc, and even that wasn't enough to cover costs and we was making £5-6m loses each season, till last season when we made a £9m plus loss, so how is all that gonna get covered if we use all are new revenue on the squad like you suggest?!.

You have to cover your losses and pay your debts!. So if you take a loan out from bank and just **** off the payments and spend your money elsewhere, don't you think they'll take actions to get money from you?. Your in debt, you've to pay it some how, same as the club as to service there, year in, year out.

The banks aren't daft and will know were in for a windfall and will ask for a bigger payment cos they'll feel we can afford it now, and we can so Kenwright will do it i'd imagine!. He is in debt to banks, to Earl & Green, he's mortgaged to the hilt and you don't think he'll use any extra income to please any of them and just use it on squad rebuilding, get fcuked mate!.

You say i'd be a dream for Kenwright with what im saying but it's the harsh reality of the financial sh!t are club is in!. Fcuking hell, im glad someone like you ya moron aint running club cos we would be fcuked!. It doesn't matter if no takeover is on the horizon, if were getting money coming in we didn't have before, it would be wise for our skint chairman to use some of that to ease his debts. In turn that could help attract investors to either buy the club or invest in buying and building a new stadium for us?!.

There is no way like you suggest that what new revenue comes in will go solely on transfers, it just wont wether you like it or not or think it should or not!. I'd be surprised if Martinez as anywhere near £10m before sales?!. And he will have to sell before he can improve the squad sufficiently!.

We need atleast 6 players IMO!. Either a back up keeper or young keeper to groom and take over Howard, a CB to replace Distin, IF/when Felli goes we'll need to replace him, and I think we need an AMC, a striker and cover in the wide areas. Now if we end up selling Fellaini and end up with £30m nearly for transfers but need that amount of players to improve the team quality and squad size, then we cant be going out and spending near on half of that £30m IMO on one single player!.

Maybe pushing the boat out isn't the right word, but we shouldn't be spending £12m or more, out of say £30m, on one player, no way!. I'd fcuking love us to mate, I really would but we cant, not even with £30m!. Are squad was small as it is in number, now weve lost 3 players from that and could possibly lose one of our better players and yet you think it would be fine to blow near on half our budget on one single player?!.

At end of day, I know were in financial sh!t and will definitely not see all of the new income that comes in, go towards squad building, but you seem to think it should and will and we'll end by agreeing to agree to disagree with each other, but i'll be one saying I told you so when we don't go and spend £50m or more this summer cos of our kitty and after Fellaini's sale!.

Another thing Essex Blue, 2 seasons ago we sold Arteta, Beckford & Yak and loaned out Yobo and fetched in £16m plus, used about £1-2m of that on loan fees etc on Drenthe and Stracq leaving us £14m say, did we re-invest any of that into the playing squad at all?.

Did we see any of that spent?. Weve got new money coming in this summer to the tune of £30m or more yet why haven't we bought are training ground, why are we renting it still?. Now if we can bring in £14m from player sales the other year and not spend a penny on the team and yet give it to the likes of the banks, Earl, Green or whoever else, then what makes you think Kenwright wont use any of this new money coming in to give to those ive mentioned aye?!!.

Get with reality pal, the £30m extra coming in isn't solely going on transfers this summer.

I am afraid it is you who is the moron. For the third time, I will ask you to quote me as to where I have said that all of the new revenue will go on squad improvement. Then I will ask you to refer back to where I have stated that an additional 30 million would allow us to stop the losses and retain a significant remainder. Please don't make me explain this to you again.

Kenwright has had opportunities to prematurely pay off the debt before, with other TV revenue increases and with big player sales like Lescott, but he never has done because it makes little sense to do so at the expense of squad improvement.

The Arteta file sale Summer was because the bank called in an overdraft that was repayable on demand. Our long term debt is significantly different as it isn't repayable on demand, and the fact that you think the bank can suddenly start demanding bigger repayments on the account of increased revenue shows that you are even more of an imbecile than I had originally considered.

For the third time, our debt is relatively small and easily maintained, and will become even easier maintained with increased revenue, so it makes little sense to make premature debt repayments at the expense of squad improvement.

You should be pleased at this new revelation (to you) but it seems like you are actually having a breakdown over it.
 
Lee is actually a tidy little player. Always looked decent during his time when Bolton were still in the prem. He's still young too. Wouldn't be the worst signing ever
 
Thought Lee Chung Yong was the tits before he got injured the other year. Haven't seen him this season though as I rarely watch the championship.
 

If we signed Honda for attacking midfield and Lee for Right midfield....

Say both for 10mil total.....

I'd be ecstatic.....two potentially top premier league players....

I feel we would still be short a centre mid and a forward though.
