Agree on Vaughan but if McGeady was genuinely 250k then I wouldn't worry too much about that - it's a f***ing steal
I agree, just don't know his wage and I don't think there is any sell on to be had from him.
I assumed we would be buying younger players on lower wages, that's not to say he isn't an excellent signing at this level.
All outstanding.none of the previous season games have really stood out.
Find it interesting that the 2 we've signed have practically no resale value. I had assumed this would be high on the agenda this pre season.
It's the position our board force you intoIsn't that what moyes did though and it went to tits

Why? Shoudln't we try and get promoted?
We have enough young players on the books
We need some experience, or we could easily plummet.
Short should go just for not geting even a descent scouting network going... what a mess he has created
No one said we shouldn't try to get promoted, there are more ways available than buying players proven to be incapable of playing at the top level.
If we plan for 3 - 6 seasons down the line and we don't get promoted, its not the end of the world. If we plan purely to get promoted next season and don't, then it keeps getting more difficult to turn this club around.
You never answered me as to what happened to your Johnson account? Is it banned?
He had some of the most highly rated scouts in the world with the Italians, that was the season he decided we had to make cuts and sacked them within 6 months.[/QUOTE]
EXACTLY
they tried to get Benjamin mendy (going to man city for 50m)
lucas orban (now at psg I think)
and we got 14 players in for a ridiculous net spend of 3M quid
as it was di canio lost the plot loaning out n diaye, selling mclean for 1.5m, signing players and freezing them out, outcasting bardsley and Cattermole, selling sess ffs
would have been interesting if di canio had been back with the kind of money bruce and o neill had...assuming we were not quite backed with what di canio wanted, and assuming di canio wasn't insane and sold sess/loaned out alf and sold mclean could have had a squad of
1) vito gk
2) Peruzzi
3) mendy
4) o shea
5) brown
6) n diaye
7) ki
8) huddlestone
9) Johnson
10) Lukaku (loan) or jozy
11) Sess
12) westwood gk
13) diakite
14) celutska
15) borini
16) giach
17) wickham
18) Cattermole
19) Larsson
20 roberge
21) colback
22) garnder
23) seb
24) mclean or mavrias
which id bet would have been pretty decent
Perusing failed a medical and Mendy chose Marseille ahead of us.EXACTLY

The big one is lukaku other than that there isn't much difference.

Not sure it was a cover story he did sign for someone else but didn't play until December iirc.ah didn't know re mendy
what a wise choice he made haha he would probs be playing for southend now if he came to us.
Peruzzi medical to me seems like a cover story as he signed for someone else shortly after.
A lot of the issues were caused by crazy choices by di canio/poyet and congerton
and we were getting cheaper and cheaper each season
I rate congerton as miles worse than di fanti, just got the impression he bluffed his way in with a 'turn key solution' and was crap
The Huddersfield Town and Brighton & Hove Albion model in action??I thought regardless of the takeover ee were scouting for bargains in the lower german leagues?
