it may be a sell to buy summer

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.

I'd like that to be true about the club giving out very little.

Tony B said something like, 'Great as a fan, maddening as a journalist'. It's the old way, and I'm quite happy with it. So I imagine what's happening is the hacks are talking to as many agents as possible and trying to piece together some stories from that. Or in Tony Evans' case, looking inside that saturnine soul of his like a sad man on the mountain in a Caspar David Friedrich painting and summoning up some very bad news from nowhere.
 
Like the journalists last summer who said we wanted Downing and people thought it was smokescreen for Mata 😡

Oh he's good at that his latest piece is a corking piece of doom mongering
 
For all those who complained about the asset stripping and the parasite owners that H&G were, can you tell me where the money, that you kept telling me was being lost to interest payments of £40m a year, is now ?

Or will that force some uncomfortable revising of opinions ?

there was a profit made in rafa's last 3 transfer windows, the new owners have spent 30 net in 3 transfer windows. one set of owners weren't allowing the money made by the club to be reinvested in the playing staff and one set of owners clearly are.

From the outside that might be the way it looks.

The accounts tell a different story.
 
I'd get rid of Adam and put the proceeds towards a top class midfielder.

I'd also sell Carroll but no-one will give us a fee worth selling him for.

Downing and Henderson we may as well keep in the squad now that they're here. There is no point selling them at a loss but we do need top class reinforcements in their positions.
 
No other top club is likely to buy our flops. Most could move on to a villa or stoke for between half and a third of what we paid. We need to spend the same amount again on the same positions but buy well. we need a 35m striker, 20m winger, 12m midfielder, 7m left back and 20m right midfielder.

LOL
 
if it's a sell to buy summer, then, these owners aren't going to take us anywhere near the promised land. It's back to the days of Moores. this club is going nowhere ith just 35M investment net, to date.
 
Ryan - not a fan of Kenny? No way!
Can't say that I am either though. Brilliant player. Great the first time round.
But just isn't the right guy for the job in 2012.
 
Selling right now means realizing a lot of losses.

I think we should just decide that we basically massively overspent on improving our squad, and totally overhaul what awful decisionmaking process ended up in that travesty, and try to buy some goals in our 1st team.

I expect players like Kuyt and Maxi to go, rather than any of the new purchases.

I expect one of our new signings to go. I imagine it could be Adam.
 
I'm happy enough for all our signings to stay. And that we go out and buy at least attacking threat in the Suarez/Torres/Gerrard class.

I doubt we could afford to do that though, so we may have to sell one of our more saleable talents which we wouldn't miss too much. How much would we get for Johnson?

I fear no ready made top class signings will arrive in the summer as we look a club in decline.
a double winning season may change their minds as would astronomical wages.

We have been a club in decline for the past 20 years(with the occasional amazing cup run to put us on the map) and we've made some great signings in that time. We're lucky that we're a big name club, as a lot of players respect.

And anyway, other clubs outside the top four, sign great players.
