Whichever route we go down we will likely face unpalatable sell decisions IF we want to re-jig the team. We disagree about Defoe as I could see a different line-up being more effective than totally relying on one player to score your goals.....we could keep him, do nothing in the transfer window then lose him to injury in the first week of February.
You were talking about spending 35m mate.I wouldn't sell Defoe on his own.....that would be absolutely pointless but in conjunction with Kone it could make sense. Defoe will be worth less every window where Pickford could conceivably be worth more every window. We couldn't give Khazri away currently.....he's f***ing useless this season.
Astronomical?........£18m for Kone and £6m for Defoe.....perfectly reasonable numbers those.

Reported to @Reiver for frivolous use of the word "interesting"Its going to be interesting to see whether any of his usual cronies have distanced themselves from him. There could be one or two who want to avoid any scrutiny.
Where in my comment did I say it would be pocketed or as you put it trousers?We sold bent it got reinvested..badly but reinvested.
We sold gyan and henderson it was reinvested.
Tell us when we have sold anyone that the proceeds were trousered. Hard evidence not 3 drunk lads in a bar evidence.
cant see any money being reinvestedThere's no point in selling Defoe. If there's £6m on the table in January it'll still be there in the summer. Kone is a different story. If someone triggers his buyout then we'd be able to replace for half the money and use the other half to improve the midfield.
It will be - particularly if the players brought in are younger and on lower wages.cant see any money being reinvested
Just lazy journalismSo the news comes out that BSA has £20 million to spend in the window and the ever diligent and hardworking Echo reporter puts 2 and 2 together and makes a complete load of tripe. End of story.

I can't recall Bent being replaced? I remember Quinn's talking about it but I can't recall a replacement.We sold bent it got reinvested..badly but reinvested.

Short had an input there, puny transfer funds.True, but he still left us high and dry and for that him ( and the FA for that matter ) can get fucked for me like.
I'm sure Defoe can't wait to sign for the bloke who named Antonio ahead of him in his England squad.
The fat, corrupt bastard can fuck off.

Also, this was at the time Allardyce had Danny Graham on the right and Toivonen in the middle and Steven Fletcher leading the line too, the daft wankerIirc he dropped Defoe when he first got here and only played him after he realised how shite the alternatives were
