Missed a trick

[NotFallowfieldBlade]

Where's the investment from prince and McCabe, 6m from walker and big H plus the investment that should be there with the step up from league one to the champ.

We have barely spent 1.5/2m (so made a profit) if wilder was given decent funds the play offs would be achievable .

Give him the cash McCabe and The prince ffs we've spent nowt , where's the ambition

 

[Houston_Blade]

McCabe you wanker, what are you pissing about at. Shoes off.

 

[sheffielder]

Good lord, maybe we could have a section a bit like we used to have for Ched.

 

[Bladepicker]

1/10

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Exactly! Think Liverpool my arse.

 

[Wards]

Go to bed

 

[NotFallowfieldBlade]

We've received 6/7 mill and spent 2 mill and we've gone up a division , where's the money and ambition ?

Foxy and Linz is there any chance you can add a breathalyser function to the login process? Maybe just after say 6pm on a Saturday?!

2 billion is on it's way kid, sleep well.

 

[blade.i.am]

Just be thankful for what we have. They could be charging you £49 to see a game and they could be asking you to dig deep #1867. They could also have screwed up your home and away kit. For all this you would have to be a Pig; be thankful you're not.

And this is when we've won. Imagine if we'd lost

We've supposedly spent £1.2 mill on Stearman, plus bought Baldock, Lundstrom, Evans and may be paid a fee to loan Blackman plus tried to buy Leonard and Lenihan. How does that only add up to £1.5/2 mill? Signing on fee for Stevens and Thomas? What about the increases in the wage bill? The players probably got an increase for promotion plus we have re-signed Billy, Coutts, Fleck and Freeman presumably on a bigger wage than before. Increased size of squad means more outlay. Transfer fees are only part of "investment".

2nd one of these in 2 days - and where do you count the apparent £2.5 bid for Coady and £1.5m for Lenaghan?

Bids tabled - bids refused. Do you NOT LISTEN to CW at all? - he has told us all numerous times that he won't over spend on players.

Been in the Wisewood Inn by any chance?

[NotFallowfieldBlade]

The bid for coady is pointless so that doesn't count , lenighan fair enough. We should have gone for Watkins who went Brentford fast young hungry. we should be spending 3/4/5 million without the money from sales.
Look were we are now I'd say we're a decent mid table champ team , if wilder had money he'd do wonders.

In no way am I slagging the team just think if wilder was given the funds , it could be a very special season , I reckon we're a comftorble mid table team as it is

 

[Stretch]

We've spent nearly £3M and have started quite well.

Cardiff have spent £5M and are the league leaders, having beat big spending Wolves today.

Villa have £22M on the bench today and get their first win by starting 2 teenagers.

Pigs have spent a fortune and already blown their budget, first win today.

We all want to see quality players coming in but there is clearly more than one way to skin a cat.

Chill yer beans kid.

If the money we spent last season plus this season secures us a League One title and a mid-table finish in our first season in the Championship then as far as I'm concerned that's as realistic as any ambition for a club on our budget, in our position at the start of last season, could be.

I still think we're a bit short in order for this season to be "comfortable", but just surviving would be a fair ambition. Anything beyond that is brilliant.

Imagine if when Wilder had signed we'd said "We're going to piss the league and then finish mid-table the season after". Would that have been a fair ambition? I mean, we've got to do it first, but surely that's reasonable.

You're just a little newbie stirrer

There are few newbie stirrers about right now. I'm sure you're all up to no good, Pork in the machine and all that...but then again, you do talk a lot of sense for an undercover Pig. Playoffs you say?

Im far from stirring , this is the most excited ive been about the blades and a blades team (im 20) just feel that we could be on to something amazinng if Mccabe spent what should be spent. Not asking for wendy type money thrown at it , just a few young hungry players for 1/2 million. Wilder has done wonders with this squad lets see what he can do with a bit off money in the market. The money is there

He wouldn't, you only get 140 words on twitter.

Think there's a few been a bit harsh on the lad. He's come on and said he wants investment. A bit eager but hardly crime of the century. Personally I'm more than happy. How do we know that Wilder hasn't been granted everything he has asked for?

Sorry for the pedantry but isn't it letters/characters?

Don't try to be a smart-alec.
Everyone knows that staff wages don't count as 'spending'

 

[finlaytheblade]

Wilder has ready said we have to be cute the way we spend our budget ,he,going to keep a bit back for the Jan window .
Two or three will be coming in I'm sure before Sept ,loaned striker from a Prem team will make a big difference (young pacey)give Wilder some space he won't allow the club to be fleeced.

seems to me that the OP is getting some unfair stick on here. It's true that we've had something of a windfall this summer from the sales of Harry M and Kyle Walker. Add that to the " brakes off when get to the championship" comments from a couple of years ago and I think he's right to point out that our recruitment so far has been very low key

3 players from league 2 (counting Blackman as league 2 as it's where he's played all his football so far)
3 players from league 1
1 player from the championship (Stearman)

Would be good to get a couple more solid championship players in alongside a couple more potential starlets from the prem before next Thursday.

We currently only have 23 senior players and we are effectively operating with 19/20 players which doesn't leave a lot of room for injury / suspensions.

Various people on here have suggested we'll be signing 3 quality players before DD.

In 10 days or so we'll see if they were right.

I'm happy we are sticking to a budget but as Arsenal discovered years ago it's all well and good but means you occasionally miss targets, Wilder has alluded to this in his interview. My only hope is we have plans B,C etc if the Blackburn and Southend players don't come to fruitition.

I personally think Wilder is getting everything he wants. He isn't afterstar names and I think for once the board are giving the manager exactly the support he needs. Perhaps if we aren't getting the players in it is because the manager doesn't think it represents value.
