Bought:
Altidore - £7.5m
Giaccherini - £6.5m
Moberg Karlsson - £1.5m
Ba - £400k
Mannone - £1.5m
Mavrias - £2.5m
Scocco - £3.2m
Bridcutt - £3m
Sold:
Mignolet - £10m
Sessegnon - £5.5m
Elmohamady - £2m
McClean - £2m

That's not including loan fees, agent fees, signing on fees, wages, etc. for the nigh on 20 players we signed. So you tell me, how were each of those transfer fees paid? All up front, over 3 years and how did they differ from the players we sold?

They differed from the players sold in the fact they're shite ;-)

A complete myth IMO. He managed them to 5th and 10th. Cabaye, Debuchy and Ba played very well and were signed by top teams for nearly 40m. Even Cisse looked class for a few months.
Pardew is doing a good job there.

then one where they were good for a few month then utter shite for a few month

They don't have the class players to sustain a top 8 position every season, no matter what the delusional mags tell you.

Who cares? Every club makes those payments. Scocco and Bridcutt aren't summer transfers.

thought we were the only club that had spent money on transfers , the to and bottom is we need decent players in and will have to pay for them regardless of the books , fuck around again and i know where we will end up

So did we or did we not only spend about 400k more than we brought in off sales?

I'll make it simple for you as you're on a wind up, add those up and see if it comes to your fabled 400k.

Youre a bulls like.

Its well documented that last summer we had a net spend of around 400k, im sure youll be able to find some foreign article proving this point.

I've literally just provided every transfer fee we spent and received last season but even by that list you provided, we are more "ambitious" than Newcastle, Tottenham and Everton. So what is your problem?

You and the very reason you started talking to me in this thread.

I mentioned their publicly stated ambitions and you countered saying ours was to finish 17th and only spending 400k was proof.

If that's proof, then we must have more ambition than anyone who spent less.

I'm not guessing, their board came out and said it.

"Do the club not think it’s worth a cup run next season?”

“The board outlined research into Premier League clubs in relation to domestic cup competition in the last five years, with Swansea the only club outside the traditional six to win a domestic cup and not be relegated in the same season (Wigan and Birmingham both relegated).”

“If the club finished higher in the Premier League, would they aim for a cup?”

“At this moment in time, the club’s priority is the Premier League.”

our priority was (staying in) the league too. Didn't stop us reaching Wembley.

They didn't last year when they were 8th when the FA Cup came around. They don't want to risk going down (or Europe), it's not going to happen.

They were in a European Cup Quarter Final 2 years ago. I'd settle for that.
