£1m spent

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Sid James told me we've spend 1.26m so far this season.

And I trust Sid James.

At least one of those figures is way wide of the mark

I must say I was surprised by those two fees but read the article, it is very authoritative. Sorry I don't know how to link it. The other thread is a belter anyway.

 

[Woodwardfan]

it's not the fees these days.. it is the wages

Fees cost money as do wages. High fees naturally mean high wages as the two are perceived as value based.

No fee at all can mean even higher wages as the player is equivalent to a free agent and there is big value to the buying club if there is no fee.

Players nearing the end of their contract often cost low fee and higher wages.

Demand and supply insists there are no cheap options these days. Fees are expensive and wages even more so.

Rarely do players in demand take pay cuts, far from it.

Does all that cover your point super pig?

I've read it mate, it's very good if not stuff we've already written in the past.

I don't even know where to start with that. Utter nonsense but I suppose that's par for the course with you.

not me selling the club I love as cheapskates , hope I never sink that low

I suppose this bit was lost on you:

I also don't get what's "insulting" to United about reporting lower fees: surely that should be considered as praise for doing good deals?

It's cheapskating if you buy poor quality goods at low prices. Personally, I think we've done some very good deals at very good prices.

 

[Sean Thornton]

What a rock bottom opinion you have of United .. frightening some of our fans gutter view of our club.

Wednesday fans have got you hook line and sinker believing their propaganda

Eh?

 

[Rodley]

What are the correct figures then Danny and have you been given them by the club?

He'll tell you, but first can you answer this quick survey...

He doesn't seem to want to answer do I'll bump again.

Danny04 any chance of an answer?

Don't get why if we buy anyone why some blades always go with the rockiest of rock bottom price option .not just low but insultingly low . Wednesday fans love it we defile our club so much calling our selves tight wads when we got out of league one spending among the top 2 or 3 budgets. So why say we spent less than half we did on Stearman for instance .

Stop banging on about Pigs. Who cares what they say and think. They are there to take the piss out of.

Btw I know he only works for the Star but a journo says you're wrong.

This is an interesting web page

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/championship/transfers/wettbewerb/GB2

Has us down as spending 1.63miion to date - 19th biggest spenders in the division. It is the second fact that interest me more than the first. Whether we can agree on a figure or not, it's irrelevant, when we compare our spending to the other clubs in our division.

Some people like to include add on fees, and wages etc etc to say how much we've spent. Well, fine, but obviously these others clubs incur exactly the same fees too. So, even if you came to £3.2million (some people are able to bump it up that high) you might as well double all the other clubs' spending for the same reason.

However much we've spent, the truth is, it's only more than 4 other clubs - incidentally, 2 of the 4 clubs that we finished above last season anyway! More need to be done to make us competitive, as we are starting from a League 1 starting point rather than a championship squad as it is.
