Dodgyknees Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I don't rate Townsend that highly, but I wish we'd go spend 25m on two players to try and stay up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is never an "everything must go" sale with him is there? Everything coming out is top dollar and he gets clubs to pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit to Lerner though, he doesn't tend to sell our prize assets on the cheap, apart from the scaly one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if they stay up though? Speculate to accumulate and all that. Fair play to Newcastle, at least they look like they're trying to protect their Premier League status. The towel was thrown in by Lerner a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather we were more proactive about it and Newcastle are giving themselves a good chance of staying up. However if they do go down then they will have major financial problems.

I fear though that in our biggest time of need we'll have our worst January window under him and I expected nothing less. I think they will be happy to take us down (or happy not to fight it) in order to get rid of a lot of players, build on the cheap using players such as Roofe at Oxford, and then have a tiny wage budget, tiny transfer fund and so on. Doug was living in the 60s during the 90s, Lerner and co are now living in the 80s and 90s, so we have progressed! Just not in the way a football club should. We're in big trouble.

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. Disagree of having no chance with Remy. It's been said that he will be allowed to go out on loan if Pato joins and the fact that Garde spoke openly in the press about him would indicate Remy would have some interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt you will be but if you are then i'll hold my hands up. He's a poor mans Aaron Lennon but somehow cost a lot more than him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Richard Posted January 26, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2016 We are in a vicious circle Spend less , attract lower quality players, perform worse, ship out what you can to generate cash, get less money, spend less, attract lower quality players, perform worse, ship out what you can to generate cash. Repeat until we reach a level where our spend is higher than those around us. Maybe league 1. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I'd be happy just spending 6-10M on a player or two and a couple of loan signings. We don't have to exactly break the bank to give ourselves a better chance at survival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
