You said 4 signings is panic buying, you made 3.

Just because our signings warrant a first team place doesn't excuse the fact you also went down to the wire getting deals done that weren't looking likely til the day

I imagine that Powell and Lawrence came as a result of the Falcao deal. Those lads would have been made available very late and Nige just reignited interest in them.

Lawrence and Scott weren't panic buys though. Just two signings for the academy, although we're very excited about Lawrence. Especially considering he gave you lot the run around on his debut last season.

Besides, I'm not claiming that your signings were panic buys. I don't know (or claim to know) the ins and outs of your deals, hence the thread. I'm here to get your opinion on them. Most of you seem very uptight about it all, can't imagine how this thread could wind anyone up. Chill.

When you act like a twat you are treated as a twat.

does not mean they are panic buys, it might be down to availability, and as others have said, some have been ongoing for a while. your lack of knowledge or understanding renders your comments of those of a wum. an occurrence I have noticed which is becoming more frequent with your posts. You used to make valid points but now your output quality has dropped.

<laugh> Are you ****. You're here to WUM. The opinion's are all on the other threads.


I can't believe anyone bothered to offer a serious reply to such **** bait. <doh>

Just saying that none of them were 'panic buys' although I think the two loans were last minute "oh, he's available? Well that'll do" kind of signings, but when players of Ben Arfas quality turn up for no real fee you don't say no.

We got £15M in so therefore on our books we haven't spent £36M but £21M.

It's clear you are struggling with the use of words again. Probably best that you stop there so you don't make a twat out of yourself again.

I'm not struggling with the use of words at all.

Would you like me to tell you the difference between profit and expenditure?
 
Like a lot deals in the last few day's comes down to domino effect.

Soton signed a winger for £10m therefore Ramirez came available and West Ham signed Amalfitano so Diame came available.

I genuinely didn't <laugh> I was actually interested in what you'd done considering i'd heard a lot about how many player Hull brought in.

Our net transfer spending in this window wasn't much different from our total transfer spending for the whole of last season. We made a profit last season and have seen our sponsorship, advertising and gate receipts (thanks to a big price hike) increase.

Of course, all of that doesn't guarantee success on the pitch, but what an exciting prospect we have, seeing if they can all click.

The delay in getting Hernandez to sign may have been done on purpose for the TV.
 
Well, well - after a great transfer window the gormless t**t that is AKCJ comes on here to try and spoil our joy - what a surprise. Clearly Leicester had nothing to crow about yesterday as Defoe had no intention of signing for squarehead and Andy is looking for something to fill his time in for the next couple of weeks while the international break is on. Be prepared for more of his inane ramblings in the coming days. :emoticon-0118-yawn:

We ended the season incredibly poorly and reaching the FA Cup final covered that up. And regardless of where we are in the league we started the season poorly as well. We struggled in 4 games against teams we should easily beat in Trencin and Lokeren. Scrapped a result at QPR, did well against Stoke and played incredibly terrible against Aston Villa.

We had look toothless with absolutely no attacking threat and had resorted to long ooof ball which is not how we play. We missed attacking players and a replacement for attacking players and strikers lost.


Diame, Lenihan and Hernandez deals had been organised way before the transfer deadline day.

And when you know two players of the quality of Ben Arfa and Ramirez you obviously go in for them.


We aren't going to do this every transfer window but it was necessary investment to try and attempt safety and attempt to finish very high in the league.

Spending a lot of money is obviously a risk but any transfer is a risk to any team but not spending was an even bigger risk.

It is a statement of intent to our Premier League rivals.


I think there is a lot of jealousy flying around from opposition fans who want to try and put a negative spin on a positive thing. There is also a lot of hypocrisy.

But what he fails to understand is that we unlike him and square head are laughing about our business.

Lester on the other hand have had to tell a player of the calibre of Defoe to **** off as block head has backed himself into a corner over his £30K max in the prem lunacy.
