samjp26 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 On a serious, non-trolling note, I can't believe we paid £12m for Milner less than 5 years ago. Now we're reportedly bidding less than £1m for Wes Hoolahan. what happened to us? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Meltdown signing? We can't even afford Houlahan. Who said that, or would you prefer us to spunk a load of money on him? £750,000 for a Premier League standard player is a piss take, just as everyone here was laughing when Spurs bid £20m for Benteke. we should have bid 5 million and you be happy?

davemk39 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 we don't need to buy now, just a few loan players for 5 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 No it was not. It was more spending £5m on R Dunne and paying him £65k pw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.V.F.C Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 A cool 10m on a useless N'Zogbia and a 5 year deal for a geriatric goalkeeper did nought to improve things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we're reportedly bidding less than £1m for Wes Hoolahan. what happened to us? We spent years and years paying massive money for and to average players. Milner was excellent for us, but he was one of very few value for money signings under MON. It only got worse under Houllier and McLeish. Lambert is the first manager we've had in years that can go out and spend money wisely, it's a shame we don't have more to give him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly, we sold him for double the money. That said, Stephen Ireland joined as well as £24m and he is the type of player who caused the rot. Of course hindsight is hindsight, none of us saw Ireland being such a flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Avenue Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 we don't need to buy now, just a few loan players for 5 months. I'd agree. Then reassess everything in the summer - manager, coaches, players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we're reportedly bidding less than £1m for Wes Hoolahan. what happened to us? We also had our kits made by Nike, gave up our sponsorship space for charity, were deeply respected by the footballing community for our English pedigree, were oblivious to how much O'Neill was spunking left right and centre, had the fastest counter attack in the world, players we loved and weekends to look forward to. But it's okay! We've got Bowery now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchard Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 we should have bid 5 million and you be happy? Sorry, I didn't realise that we could only bid £750,000 or £5million. My mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 No it was not. It was more spending £5m on R Dunne and paying him £65k pw. Dunne was a steal at £5m. He was brilliant at the time. I get your point, but I'd personally have opted for Warnock at £7.5m, Davies for £10m, Harewood at £4.5m, Sidwell for £5m, Reo-Coker for £8.5m, L Young for £5.5m, Beye for £2.5m, etttttcccccccc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
