The accounts for the year 1/8/11-31/7/12 say that the total transfer fees and agents fees we committed ourselves to was £2.3M. Proschwitz is the only one we've paid a fee for (so far), but I suspect there's a fair amount of legal costs/agents fees been attached to the Aluko and Jakupovic deals as well. (Both were agreed in that time, even though approval to play them was given later so I think they'll be included)
Now you have done it Ricardo, all that talk about legal costs and agents fees will of confused Doveston
Gave my half time prawn sandwich a miss and got out early to see if proschwitz would finally come good, still waiting, strange that gedo looks quality straight away
What utter rubbish. His link up play is very very good now. He just needs to add goals to his game. Its coming - just very slowly.
Rubbish eh, ball didn't stick at all last night, not great in the air, as for goals didn't you see the open goal miss at the end? have to admire your patience, guessing Simpson would have been slaughtered on here if he missed that one
Well to be honest he played a sight better than Simpson did tonight. Several times got stuck in and won the ball, something Simo didn't and before you say it I am actually a Simpson supporter. We played much,much better when Prozzy and Gedo came on. They should start on Saturday.
Played better because we went to a 442 on a shocking pitch that doesn't suit pass and move in a 352, think its a formation we may play more often especially at home
The issue I have with 3-5-2 is Koren drops deep, Simpson then ends up almost as the sole striker. He works his balls off, but he can't be EVERYWHERE at once. His all round play is brilliant. He's tireless, runs the channels, for his size/build I think you'd have to a long way to find an equivalent sized player that holds the ball up as well. We need two proper strikers in this system - a midfielder and a striker just doesn't work.
I've been a fan of Prossie since he came and have backed him up until now, but last night was a terrible display, IMO. Simpson has been holding the ball up far better than Prossie, I hope we see Gedo partner Simpson for Saturday.
