Mr Brownstone 0 Posted June 22, 2011 [quote user="Eadienhucks"][quote user="Mr Brownstone"]Anyone using Torres as an example of money not buying quality will be eating their words. The lad is 100% quality.[/quote] Okay back your mouth up mate! I will wager £50 he will not score more than 10 goals in the prem league next season,for chelsea!... (this includes all his "im injured"and any yellow/red cards disciplinary matches...We can bet on "betfair"?[/quote] I don''t have a spare £50 to gamble on a players fitness, but I''ll happily go on record as saying if he plays 40 games he''ll bag 15 goals.

scrappy33 0 Posted June 22, 2011 We might still get a big money signing yet, Robert Snodgrass? Shane Long? David Bentley? I would like Lewis McGugan here, what a prospect he is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barclay hero 0 Posted June 22, 2011 Everyone refers to the mythical 42m - but this money will likely be needed to pay for 1) Transfer & loan fees2) Wages for new players3) Agents fees4) Registration fees5) Wage increases for Management (including PL) following promotion6) Wage increases for existing squad following promotionNot to mention items such as insurance (insuring Prem players will cost more than insuring Championship players) and other items (cars, lodgings for signings etc)Taking into account the other items - plus we''ll be saving money for January ''just in case'' - theres not huge amounts for ''Marquee Signings''. Thats why the likes of Hull have got into problems... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ROBFLECK 132 Posted June 22, 2011 [quote user="Harry"]PL won''t buy big just for the sake of it, he will bring in players to strengthen the team, if a "big transfer" does happen it will be because that player fits the criteria that PL sets down.[/quote]Totally agree with this, we need another few signings, but I tend not to look at the name too much...

AJ 1,218 Posted June 22, 2011 We don''t NEED a big money signing. A tightly knit squad of good players is better than a big money star Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DT 0 Posted June 22, 2011 imo we dont need a big money signing. We have our big names at the club who do a great job for us. Wait until a couple of months in and im sure other teams will realise the quality of some of them to ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Brownstone 0 Posted June 22, 2011 Well done Gerry. I''ll make sure I never refer to it as ''Sky Money'' or ''TV Money'' again, and use it''s full term of ''Domestic and Overseas TV Money and Prize Money paid for by Sky, ESPN, The BBC and others but not paid directly to the club but paid to and distributed by The Premier League''.
