Since we started making big money signings


The reality is we have signed two decent hopefully good prem standard players who will be on a decent wage (3 if you count fee boy)for 17 and 30 million ish and thats great as it looks like we are willing to spend to try stay in the prem....however lets not forget to note that these are not top prem fees as the top six can pay from 50 to 100 million for players ...we are simply adapting our model to buy decent young prem standard players at the going rate and i for one never thought we would do that this year!Our business just looks great compared to the recent past and long may it continue!
 
Nothing less important than a mags' opinion.

I agree, the fact every PL club gets given £100m+ per year just for being in the league means this is just us trying to catch up.

If Reinaldo has signed i find it strange that people never mention him when talking about our signings. He has the best pedigree of the lot and personally feel like he's the best signing out of all of them.

Never heard a mag say looking forward to the derby. Funny that.

Were still gambling, only the stakes are higher and to be frank, i havent heard of any of the players weve signed, or linked with.... Were going to be a real enigma and if it goes wrong like the DiCanio Fanti foreign signings it wont just be relegation, but its a massive amount of money down the drain..... All the mags i know are waiting to see their signings and have zero interest in us at the mo.

Not really big signings, as premier league signings go, the fact we have hardly spent a penny for years they big for us.
Mags are quiet tho deep down I think they in for a underwhelming season, especially compared to last season.

But, but, but they are in the Champions League.

Although I don’t recall them being champions.

This, champions League will see them falter in the league and isak will be away. Yes they have money to spend but nobody wants to go there. I'm looking forward to the derbies.
 
Its good we’re looking to strengthen, but big money signings? We’re honestly just paying the going rate for players at this level.
 
Big money signings? Only in relation to what has been spent the last 8 years. By PL standards, it’s pennies
 
I'm sure they're absolutely unphased by the signings we're making to be honest. We could spend £200m and still be behind them. Pretty much all of their signings in recent years have been for more than we've spent on the players we've brought in, and they've come with a far higher pedigree. Posts like this just make you look daft.

Whats happening with us is exciting, and the ambition being shown is fantastic, but in reality we're spending all of this just to stand a chance of staying up. £20-£30m transfers aren't exceptional in the premier league. It's the equivalent of a £6-£10m transfer the last time we were in the premier league.
