I've never been in a Poundland and you're analogy would have worked better if you'd said Waitrose, Sainsbury's is ****. I'd say a more accurate analogy, would be that we've paid AM V8 prices, for a couple of F-Types.
Thats a bit snobbish Chaz, A lot of them will have more money than most of us. But then again I'm a poor pensioner so how would I know.
Chazz is referring to a recent HDM article, where a woman on Bransholme was interviewed about her excitement over the potential opening of a new Sainsbury's nearby.
Just looked on the Norwich forum, they're made up about the reported £8m fee. "Laughing our way to the bank" That is an unadulterated quote right there. And they will be. Bastards.
Never realised how much we'd paid for our two new signings... £8m for Livermore? £8m for Snodgrass? Why not bid £25m to resign Aaron McLean whilst we're at it?
it does sound like silly money and you have to think that better players are out there for similar money.. I know you cant compare deals like this but Man City for example sign Fernando, a player they've brought in to replace Yaya Toure... they paid £12m, who knows how much upfront and addons etc, but an eventual total £12 million for a player they will consider to be world class potential... Now when you look at the Livermore & Snodgrass deals it does look like we've over paid. Obviously we could never attract a player like Fernando or the kind of players man city can sign... but the point remains, better players are available outside of the UK for less money.
£8 million is nothing to the Allams...Its loose change. In fact if a £50 note was blowing down his street, it wouldn't be worth the hassle of picking it up.
