Missed a trick

[NotFallowfieldBlade]

Wilders already said we are not going daft with big money signings have faith in him even if we reach the premier league we will only be making the numbers up like the rest of them below the top six

3 - 2 million pound players is not splashing the cash in the championship it is pretty much the norm

"Pointing out" something that is demonstrably untrue is a worthless exercise. You discount the bid for Coady and declare it "doesn't count". That's silly juvenile nonsense. Not entirely surprising as you are patently a silly juvenile.

We have paid fees for Stearman, Evans, Stevens, Lundstram and Thomas. We have multiple offers in for players that could see us spend £5m before Jim White day.

We've spent money. We have plenty of ambition. Consider it pointed out.

Bidding for the brand new club captain of the richest team in the championship is a pretty pointless effort , pretty obvious we'd have 0 chance of signing him

Does the money we spend go straight into the players clubs account straight away ? No

What does this mean?

Sorry incorrectly quoted a previous message.
The money we pay for a player is not all payed in one lump sum just like when we sell or receive momey.
So the argument that we don't have the money yet is wrong

We wouldn't have made the offer if that were the case. Offers aren't made simply to pass the time of day. Clubs do their homework; they receive information; occasionally they speak to people close to players they target or even...no, that's naughty.

Tufty has better things to do than make hopeless offers and we've seen enough of him to know that he would believe there to be f-all point.

Things are as they are, mate, not necessarily as suits any agenda you may have.

In standard English, very little. It may be a little known dialect?

I don't have any agenda at all just frustrating that we have a great manager and the basis of a good play off pushing team with the correct sensible investment. Which should be easily doable with incoming sales .
We could say we've bid for Messi that doesn't meet we're willing to pay for him . The coady Bid seems like the usual McCabe move

So we don't get the money all in one go but we do have the money from the sell ons on this occasion?

You've argued against your own nonsense there.

What usual McCabe move? Tufty decided to make an offer for Coady. He did make an offer. He has said so publicly. That's how it works. Are you promulgating the 'usual' conspiracy theory nonsense? If so, you're bonkers or malicious, maybe both. There is no 'usual McCabe move' apart from spending millions of his own money on our football club.

The window is still open for quite a while. What is motivating you to ferociously (not really, bit of a Geoffrey Howe to be honest) attack your own club when the narrative of the point you raise is far from complete? It has all the hallmarks of the 'usual' agenda.

You can run the whole SUFC enterprise for the price of a pint and Monty running round that hamster wheel...

If Donald Trump were a Blade, he'd be tweeting this sort of shit constantly

If Donald Trump was a blade, I rekon he's have about enough cash to buy us and clad the front of the lane in black glass, hide the dirty old concrete, and maybe sort the kop?
We'd also get some great players, cos if anyone refused to give them to us, good old Donald would declare war on said club!!

 

[BigBed]

If he has £6'000'000 to spend does he spend it all on the one player or does he buy six 1000,000 pound player's and which one is the bigger gamble ?

Definitely be going fo C, 3 £2million pound players.
