Spare a thought for the West Ham fans who have been hoodwinked by the board into moving stadium .Guess who got the money from the sale of the old one and then they promised to buy top of the range players instead the got Hughill no wonder they are kicking off
By the way, regarding the meet up. I would love to come and meet people, regrettably I have a very difficult personal situation which means going away for a day and night on the piss is not possible. That’s why I tend to watch away games where I can get there and back in the day.
Morning 1964, what sport do you play? A Captain needs to be one of the best players in the team imo. He also needs to set an exemplary bench mark on and off the field. Other players should almost fear him. We don't have anyone close to that. We need a Strachan or a Radebe.
Mike Orta brought in Traore for Karanke as he did with Bamford and a few more. Then a big fall out which saw Karanka go on strike? 2020 great post mate and lots of factual stuff although the transfer monies in are not the same as published in the press. Wood money is done in 3 stages over 4 years, We still haven't got all the Byram money yet so Taylors money not here yet either. Ristac and others on the subject of Pontus leaving, yes agree so Radz needs to have a word with him and and a couple more and insist this season has been stalled but next season with see some good players coming in as we go for automatic promotion. Failing to do that could means we lose the good and end up with all the bad
Hope you both get well soon. If there is anything you or Moe need let me know (lifts/ shopping), and if I can help I will. I guess the family have it all covered but with wj away I could step in if he normally does stuff for you.
Morning 20 Very well thought out post if I may say. If that is Radz net spend then I think it proves he has not got the money required to take us forward.
I realise that doc, but it’s the most valid way to think of the impact on the team. We lost Woods and Taylor 100%, even if we didn’t get 100% of the cash. It’s valid from Rads point of view as he has to manage the cash but for us as fans the total figure is the best guide
Doc, the transfer money coming in stage payments is a Rad red herring. Most transfers are done that way meaning most of our signings have also only been part paid for. Therefore about six million received and maybe 7 spent
I don’t know, 2p We will see. He found cash to buy the ground, can he now find the same for players? Best way to keep players like Pontus is to show them the team is going to be stronger next season
You seem to have forgotten that you sold 15m worth of youth players before the season started who has that dosh ?
No doubt we will find out May June July 2018 not that long to wait. Whilst it is good to see the ground bought back under the umbrella of LU, it is a completley different kind of investment to that of players and manager.
We were three players away from a challenging promotion side last season Now we are a million miles away thanks to Radz & Orta, never trusted their motives from day one although many of our fans were sucked in Maybe I'm a cynical old sod after enduring 15 years of poor management
