Worrying all this talk of no player investment, what are your owners playing at? How much windfall did you get from the auto promotion?
No, the kitty is already there. This £10 million will just go into Versace trouser pockets. We'll never see it again.
Roller - If Taarabt goes then he formation of the team would change and I think that it would be Buzz's time to prove he is premier league standard (which I think he is anyway). There are not many teams with an Adel type player in their team, but If the transfer budget is increased By £6 mill IF Taarabt goes then I would initially bid for Kyle Walker at that same amount. I would also look to sign a decent centre back and look to sign Forrster (formely Villa, Tom Cruise Arsenal) and one or two players possibly Bowyer (one season only) Ridgewell from Brum £3mill. Ideally I would have liked to have seen Jamie O'Hara but he has gone to Wolves. One other thing to consider is that the return of Jamie Mackie will be like having a new signing bearing in mind he was out from Jan on wards. Maybe Ambrose? And NW wants to prove he is premier league quality manager before he retires Adel is a good player, and can win games single handidly however premier league players (younger than Savage) will try to mark him out of a game
i hope this is just more rumour bollocks and we keep hold of the stroppy git. if he starts nutmegging the premiership fancy dans and making pillocks of them there will be red cards every week for hacking him down
Adel can behave like a Grade A numpty a lot of the time, but I don't think that he is a little ****. I am sure that Neil Warnock knows exactly what's going on. He will have "Plan A" - with Adel and "Plan B" - without Adel. He will know which type of players he needs for either eventuality. There may be a slight difference in the players he brings in depending on which scenario pans out. If he doesn't, then he is a mug ... but NW ain't no mug. So, there may be an extra £6m from the sale of Taarabt. Why are so many people absolutely convinced that this money will not be made available for transfers on top of what NW has aready been promised? Nobody on here knows the real figure and nobody knows what will happen to the £6m should it in the QPR bank accounts.
As to Buzz being Tarb's replacement, I wouldn't want to rely on that - his play last season was generally underwhelming (no criticism - that injury really took it's toll). But he's not yet at his pre-injury form imo and there's no certainty he will ever get there, although obviously I hope he will, because he's a formidable player on form...
£10m looks a good deal I always thought that Bullard would replace him , the fee would cover the extra wages. Bullard will probably do a better job in the Premiership as he has more experience. Any money left over will add to the small kitty as we need about 6 new players.
Newcastle fan in peace. I hope PSG sign him and that he comes nowhere near Newcaslte. Wouldn't want him in the team in a million years, terrible attitude and he's not as good as he thinks he is. Yes he was untouchable at times in the Championship, but a large part of that is because Championship defenders aren't used to playing against players like him - it was a new experience for them. PL defenders play against players like him week in week out and will mark him out of games with ease, he'll get frustrated and be ineffective. He may be an okay lower end PL player, not much more.
