    Can you really see the Club coming out with the statement they did if not true, it could've affected his all career. Has there been any other statement denying it from the player or his agent?

    Cant argue with his goal return though. Scored goals for fun in League 1 and has carried on at the Blackburn Circus.

    Your owners could have really stuck his hand in his pockets and got you both

    But the fact is we have signed Huddlestone, and the question was, who is there who is better than Long for £5m?

    Our top scorer got 9 last season and we still went up. We'd all like a prolific striker but Huddlestone for £5 mil is an absolute steal, Man City fans were talking about how they'd take him over Fernandinho after we played them.

    we have played three games two of which was away to potential title winners the other we played with ten men due to one of them getting sent off , far to early to judge the strikers we have yet.

    The Prem just sign the richest TV deal which you was blagging about saying how your quids in and now you flat broke all of a sudden?

    Your owners wasnt prepare to spend money like Cardiff amongst other teams were.

    I'm going to say the same thing Andy kings Crown Jewels just said if we had ten million pound to drop on a forward I would hope we could find someone who stood more of a chance of being a success in the premier league than Rhodes

    I bet the club make a lot of statements that mask the truth.

    Flat broke? Proud do you get thicker by the post?

    It's called spending money wisely, Cardiff might have spent far more, but their squad is no better than ours. The same goes for Norwich. In my opinion of course, you're welcome to disagree, and as I said, I hope you do as you've proved time and time again your predictions are utter ****e.

    Who says we are flat broke? We aren't paying over the odds for players and throwing money around like Cardiff because of our previous experiences in the Premier League. We did that last time and the club nearly went bust. We are now taking a more sensible approach which will ensure the club remains in a financially sound position.

    Demba Ba, Romelu Lukaku, Matej Vydra, Fabio Borini, John Guidetti, Peter Crouch, Darren Bent, Leonardo Ulloa, Adam Le Fondre and Troy Deeney I would have imagined you could have got for your 5M. Quite a few of them moved to clubs on loan over the window

    But if it was bullshit, why wasn't there a counter statement refuting it?

    That's because this club had a harsh lesson from our last experience in the Prem and everyone has learned from it, ie. The boom and bust strategy isn't worth the risk.

    Leicester went for it under Sven and now you can't compete with the likes of Forest in the transfer market.

    3 games in and they have beat Man City. I would say thats a very good start. Steven Caulker was an unbelievable signing for them

    The difference with them and you is they had half decent strikers while in the championship

    Why do the Leicester contingent continue to confirm their ignorance on football related matters.

    Consistently clueless about their own club's ability, chances & finances, yet somehow believe themselves an authority on what's best for our club.

    The undisputed, champion **** stains of the not606 community.

    Does anybody really take any notice of the **** they spout?

    three quarters of that list would cost more than five million and some are no better or not as good as long .
