birchfest 397 Posted January 19, 2016 Yeah but, but but... we already had Jarvis, and we already new we were getting Naismith, and Godfrey is only an under 21 player, and Klose only played a couple of games in the champions league this season not all of them....😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evesham Canary 0 Posted January 19, 2016 According to Sky we are also the biggest spenders at £20M!!! So far Prem clubs have spent a total £78M this window so we have accounted for a quarter of that. Now I''m sure some will point out net spend as we have recouped over £8M on Grabban & Bennett. Still good news so far & with possibly a striker to come things look a little brighter.

westcoastcanary 173 Posted January 19, 2016 Since when is a relegation-threatened club being busiest in the January transfer window a cause for celebration? The time for all this mutual back-slapping is when we''re arithmetically safe. That''s when we''ll know whether or not we''ve had a good window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted January 20, 2016 In that sense if the worst does happen, i''m glad we gave it a good go unlike last time under Hughton where we went out spending nothing and then going down with a whimper. The board have learnt from their mistakes and I obviously hope they are rewarded with another season at premiership level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,554 Posted January 20, 2016 Here is a surprising (well, it was to me) statistic. Since the Premier League started 25 clubs have been top of the table at some point. We are in 10th place, with 129 days (effectively that first season). Spurs have only racked up 33 days on top, and Everton a mere 8. Ipswich? Just the one day - but what a day that must have been...

[:D][/quote] Personally I''m enjoying the moment that we''ve brought in some players who hopefully will strengthen the team in some areas that need it and improve our chances of surviving in the Prem. If anyone wants to look at the extra cost as a bad thing, would they be happy if we didn''t sign anyone and left our team with those problem areas ? Or would they never be happy, unless we''re able to sign some top class players at bargain transfer fees/wages (which obviously is a fantasy). I think we can sensibly rely on the board to budget for these signings so we are living within our means even if we end up getting relegated. We can speculate about the figures but inevitably those are only available some way into the future (and never give the full picture). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted January 20, 2016 westcoast, I''ll take your post at face value.If we don''t invest in better players we may not ever get to the arithmetically safe place you and I hope for.As a fan I will enjoy the moment that my team looks like (to my untrained Coaches eye) it has improved with (calculated by far better people than I) investment.I''m not going to save all my emotions until May.
