Isn't that the same every window? Bit of a non story.
true but kenny having to sell his own signings after a year to make up the transfer kitty? harsh.
Not really, no. We sold a shitload of players last summer for peanuts(in football at least) but it didn't stop us spending around £100mil last summer.
Did people used to say how great Benitez was because he sold his own signings when he realised they weren't working out?
I'm guessing Carroll and Adam are out.
actually we recouped a shit load of money. spent 100m but recouped about 70m.
Carroll will stay i think, not least because we won't find a suitable manager.
Get rid of Adam, we already have Shelvey to take his place..
Sell Downing and bring in a winger who can take a fucking man on.

I suspect buying out a few contracts added another couple of million onto that.
will be really interesting to see which of kenny's signings he is willing to release.
suarez
carroll
downing
henderson
adam
enrique
doni
all signed by kenny with the majority of them being a fixture in the side.
You'd sell Johnson?
if kenny does sell his own signings I wonder if it will be meet with ridicule (for wasting money) or respect (for swiftly moving on poor buys)?
I don't think that's close to the truth.
I'm not sure if we've ever spent more than about 20-30m in a window(net)
I would not but Kenny might
I think our net spend is something like £40m under the new owners and for a Club that's not in the Champions League, that's a considerable amount of money.
We shouldn't be buying so many players every window anyway, if Kenny is still here he should make do with most of his signings.
Doesnt that amount include the 50 million we received for Torres. We dont have a good sellable asset other than Suarez now.
definately of the same opinion. for instance, no way on this earth is downing going to go two seasons in a row with no league goals/assists.
he does seem like he is going through the motions.
Did he not just get two assists?
I doubt Ben Smith has heard anything reliable. Tony Barrett said on TLW a week or so ago that the reason the hacks are so edgy these days is because they're not getting the tiniest bit of info from inside the club, and I expect that to continue as far as transfer plans are concerned.
Has he been so enthusiastic in the last few months though? Something seems to be missing in his performances and once the spotlight is off and the season is over, if his agent is pushing offers in front of him from CL-qualified teams it mightn't take much to persuade him to slip away quietly.
