Nessie would wipe the floor with Bigfoot

It depends if it's in or out of water surely?

We'd have to agree a venue yes. The Loch Ness Inn car park?

Whatever the spend was, it wasnt enough. We needed at least two more signings.

I may be wrong, but I suspect this budget figure of £18M which was mentioned during SB reign, was the figure factored in as far as the spend included in the take over figures.

One reason I say this was that I saw written somewhere on the transfer deadline day, that Henriksson's sale was going to fall through because we had not sold Hernandez. There might have been some truth in this, as the reason is was finally fixed as a loan to be made a sale in January sort of bear this out.

Jesus Christ, all this arguing when all the fees - I think - were undisclosed. None of you know how much the total outlay was so its an entirely pointless discussion.

True, add on agent's fees, potential bonuses & other costs & which haven't yet been disclosed then you're probably looking at upward of £25m

 

[Blaknamberblood]

WTF, where has it been widely suggested £3 million? It's the first I'm hearing of this, nothing more than £1 million has been the only figures I've seen.
As for City Wall's argument of £14 million over £13.5 million. What the **** does it matter over half a million?
The £13 million for Mason was originally said to be £12.5, so there's your half a million.
All pretty pointless anyway as someone said, they're all undisclosed, so until the accounts come out for this period & Peter dishes the dirt on the spend, I suggest no more arguing over things that can't be proved!
It's like trying to predict the winner of a fight between the Loch Ness Monster & The Abominable Snowman!

£3m was reported in SSN .. whether it's correct or not remains to be seen

Everyone who attached a fee to Keane said £1m, including Sky.

 

[Putter]

Anyone who thinks we weren't overly negative for the past two seasons obviously didn't watch many games, Phelan's a breath of fresh air.

True

 

[City Man]

True

Ever since I first started watching City, we have had fans who demand we attack more.
It's a given, as it is with all other clubs.
It's not really a serious or measurable standpoint, more an impression or feeling.

The most stomach turning, cringeworthy and banal chant is "attack, attack" blah blah - the one favoured by FIFA playing aficionados I believe.

You hear it less at clubs who don't take all their strikers off with twenty minutes to go, desperately trying to cling on to a draw or a one goal lead.

Hate to disagree but I saw it at £3m and £1m for Weir

 

[McGregor HU5]

I saw it on SSN as 3m for Keane on that pop up bar on the right of the screen, although everywhere else I saw reported it as 1m

Twenty.

So when did Phelan take our centre forward off? Desperately clinging on to a point was he? what was it 37% possession.

Likewise

 

[socksblownoff]

Not only are the fees undisclosed, does anyone know how the deals are structured? Thinking about Mason really as it's the most substantial one. A down payment now and the rest during the next year or two? All at once? Without these details, it's pure guess work as to how much has been paid.

Phelan's never finished a game without a striker on the pitch, we were obviously clinging on against Man United, but only because they're better than us and we had almost no options from the bench.

Apparently a moggie once appeared on the pitch at Anfield and the scousers all started singing "a cat, a cat" to the same 'tune'. Made me laugh anyway.

We took a striker off, a clearly fit one and put a CB on. You're trying to see summat that isnt there.
We defended and defended and didnt attack much against Swansea or Man U. But hey ho people see and believe what they want.

I've seen an improvement in the way we play so far this season, hopefully it will continue and you'll see it eventually.
