Taking Leicester and their fairytale out of the picture, who else has really kicked on and done something worthwhile without spending money and taking a gamble?
Are you saying we haven't spent good money since we've been back in he Premier League? If you think we haven't, my answer is Southampton. If you think we have, then why are complaining/suggesting we need to?
But we are spending money. We spent 12m on Hojbjerg, 10m on Redmond, and potentially 20m on Boufal (along possibly with 9m on Stanciu). I'm not sure what that is if it's not spending money. You seem to be falling into the narrative rather than the reality. If we suddenly started spunking 20/30/40m on players that turn out to be average, the board would be (rightly) castigated for it. Can't win.
Wow. Some of you guys are defensive im the extreme. It's like telling a teenager you personally think his hair doesn't need so much grease in it. **** YOU DAD! WtF dO YoU KnOw?!?!? I reitereate. We don't get into bidding wars. We keep our business private and if it goes public we bail to avoid a price hike. I didn't even say if I agree or disagree with this. Sheesh. Smoke some weed.
Apparently the Boufal deal has hit a major snag already. He was willing to sign until he noticed that yet another Not606 thread had descended into an argument.
Who is getting stressed? I'm certainly not. Just explaining the position and debating a point. Suspect the next step is being accused of trying to "shut people down"!
Ah. Clever. Bring that back up. Because I am the only one here whp has ever accused you guys of that! Keep smiling, brother.
What? Everything isn't always about you. You know that, right? I wasn't referring to you, just a weird general point that gets thrown around a lot.
Spaced Saint that is so pathetic mate. Seriously silly post. We are entitled to disagree. It appears you can't hold a conversation with someone who disagrees. Not worth engaging with you if that's all you can do. I don't like sotonsaint's approach to club spending, but we are debating it sensibly which is what the forum is for. If you can't handle a debate, don't read a forum.
Sorry, I will refrain from thinking things posted in responses to me might be about me. I sure am a dumb **** tonight!
