Summer Transfer Window

Under Rafa we bought lots of dross playres in the £3m - £5m region, but also made more on sales. Under Bruce, we spent a lot more on individual players, but hardly recouped anything back in player sales.
But as you say, that's partly chance as neither had final say.

 

I think Maddison is a non starter at this point... Psg and Chelsea will pay big bucks for Fofana

 

Rafa wasn't as good at getting money

 

I don’t know. He made a **** ton of it in china

 

I don’t know he got £6M per year. Bruce didn’t manage anywhere near that.

 

God remember when we where all like it’s happening. But nothing happened for 18 months.

 

Rafa did have final say on transfers, it was in his contract. It's why Fat Mike was dying to get rid of him

 

Because Joselu was always his number one target. He may have said yes or no on individual players but no way were they his first or even second choices for almost all players purchased. In fairness to the Clown the same applied to him ie not having a proper say on transfers.

 

Rafa had control over players, he had no control over budget and Joselu wasn't his first choice striker he was bought as back up to Dwight Gayle who was his first choice considering we were in the Championship. He also bought Mat Selz, remember him? This centuries Super Duper Hooper? Jesus Gamez, Grant Hanley, Issac Haydon, Jacob ****ing Murphy for £15m Achraf Lazar, Daryl Murphy and Atsu (loan initially)

 

Please sign a player we can talk about. Pretty please.

 

And we were promoted as Champions. Job done.

 

This guy is the real deal mate. If we sign him it’s a good signing.

As an attacking right forward aswell.

 

He's a signing I'll wait to see what he plays like. Gayle would score in that league.

 

It’s his internal state that make me excited.

He is also 6ft 1. And he has just scored a hat-trick in 42 minutes in a champions league game.

 

If you watch the YouTube video I put up he scores a lot of goals with his head. Something Wood can’t seem to do.

Appreciate your right it’s an easier league but still. The talent is there.

 

Ronaldo,Figo,Costa,Deco etc all started there

 

Yup and they turned out not bad eh.
