I find it very hard to believe however that we are anywhere near being in a problem area after so many seasons of austerity. I certainly think we can afford to have a net spend this season of more than 8 million quid. Spending an extra say 20 million this window is very unlikely to see us in breach of any FFP rules. That would be a prudent amount for a club that wants to fight relegation or build to get promoted again first try. Unfortunately it seems once again we are going to half ass a transfer window and get neither survival nor players we need to come back up. I don't really know our financial situation obviously, but I'm going off Fox's description of us the other day as 'a massively loss-making business'. I doubt we could afford £20m - maybe we could manage half that. I think we could afford at least one decent striker, which at this point is all I expect (in the sense of 'son, I expect you not to laugh at grandma's hare lip', not the sense of 'I expect the sun to set in the west tomorrow').

I feel like we won't be part exchanging the old Rover 75 just yet. A 75?! Your flattery will get you nowhere, Mr Ambassador. If we were a car, we'd be shot-full of holes, have a rear suspension that you have little confidence in and, up front, one wheel that doesn't move very much. I think I just described a Reliant Robin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YGabbana Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 So we have just 1 fit senior striker in Kozak and still no signings. I dont class Ayew or Gabby as out and out strikers. This club is a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Sunderland offering Swansea 10m plus Borini for Andre Ayew. Surely we could do 8m plus Nzogbia and/or Gabby?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we could do 8m plus Nzogbia and/or Gabby?! Might also be inclined to come for obvious reasons also. Apparently Sunderland are trying to hijack our move for Debuchy, and we are very much in the "race" for Loic Remy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted January 26, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2016 The one position where spending money usually makes a big difference is striker. Sadly I cannot see us spending anything decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I have a feeling we will sign a "unknown" striker from abroad on loan if anyone comes in at all. what we would do for a dion dublin type impact striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon they might take that. We wouldn't offer 10p. The board have said spending big money doesn't but success, the white flag is waving.

Keyblade Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Surely even our club isn't as daft as to not sign a striker this window? Like, not even a loan signing? Surely it makes more financial sense to stay in the PL than it does to not sign players and get relegated? This is the year of all the years that we should be doing everything in our power to stay up. We need another Darren Bent, Randy. Someone tell him it could be a loan too!

deeps Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Ayew will be on silly wages at Swansea! Plus he won't come here. Remy? No chance. Rhodes is one we should look at purely due to his record in the league below which we will be stuck in for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Surely even our club isn't as daft as to not sign a striker this window? You would hope not. We've got just under 7 days to sweat this out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
