Smug Mode (I had several wagers that the fee would be closer to 100m than 50m with me getting the 75). I won’t need to be paying for many beers for a while.
This is one thing that worries me. I get the feeling that if we make a couple of really good signings, the board may think that’s enough to not axe Pellegrino.
Perfect opportunity to use this money as selling point to potential new managers. We have some very good players who have completely lost their way in a seemingly poisonous undercurrent and weak leadership. IF (and it's a big if) £70m is going to be invested in the right places, then we have the potential to be an exciting prospect without the big pressure of some of the bigger teams.
I'm sure it's only cos you're pissed off,the amount we spend is irrelevant,you don't have to spend all your money to get good players. Unless you're thick (Liverpool for example) We do need to invest well though that's for sure.
Hey, look. Ryan is getting on with his life quietly and not acting out his transfer desires in public. Y'know, like you should do. He's just getting on with the fact he's contracted to Saints and trying to make the World Cup squad. Props.
So long as Bertrand isn't going to play up, I think we need to hang on to him until the summer. Though I fear he won't be the only fullback looking to leave.
I said the same thing earlier today to a friend (and sort of said it on here). Obviously before I knew the fee for Virgil, but it was clear he was going.

Wow, that really an astronomical fee. 75 ****ing millions. So how stupid are they in Liverpool, they could've done this 6 month ago if they weren't this daft. And every one would be more happy with it.
I was more thinking our remaining Portuguese Euro winner! But that's a problem for another day (the summer).
Exactly, assuming we plan to spend the majority. I don't want this money used to find players who fit Pellegrino's approach, though god only knows what that is, when it could be used to lure someone of actual quality.
Fonte should look after his own affairs. The hammers pretty much hate him and consider him a liability. Should perhaps keep his head down for a bit......or go on tv and be a pundit! Tosser
