Well ive tried getting odds on dawson from skybet just now theyve said "that one isnt much of a secret" just spoke to my mate he said yep you cant get odds on dawson as it was a double deal with livermore, just wonder why it hasnt been announced if true
 
I think that in a period where we could have got Campbell, Sidwell and Ayew for less than £2.5m all in(I'm not suggesting we should have gone for Campbell), a potential £16m for Livermore and Snodgrass simply looks too much.

No argument there money wise, but in practical terms Campbell isn't interested in coming back, Not sure we were ever a serious consideration for Sidwell - but I wouldn't mind us paying £2.5M for Ayew :D
 
If Sagbo goes as rumoured and we say sign Bendtner and Ince on frees and Maguire and/or another younger for 4-5 mil combined for the future it doesn't look bad but 16 mil for Livermore and Snodgrass is insane.
 
I'd rather have Snodgrass playing for us, than against us, but if the reported fee is true, we've overpaid again.

Still, as well as chipping in with a few goals, he should be able to improve our set pieces, which are currently appalling.

I was going to add, it wouldn't require much! <laugh>
 
I'd like to know whose negotiating these deals.

£16m on two players, one who was relegated & the other a reserve player, is alot of dough.

Hope i'm wrong & it works out for City.

So much for Allam being skint. Another pack of lies he was peddling.

Come on Golly, I know you're not a dipshit, and you know it's the premier league money that's getting spent here, so I don't really know why you've come out with that.
 
I think a player from who's played well for a lower Premier League team, who's in the last year of his deal(and won't sign another one), is worth £5m tops.

Things are just getting out of hand, last season players like Livermore and Snodgrass would be £4m, it's the new TV deal that's made clubs feel too flush again.

And this is the problem for PL clubs like. As more money comes in from TV it just goes straight to players (which I don't disagree with) and agents (which I strongly disagree with of course). Clubs feel like they have to spend it and even lower league clubs rips you off. But when you get relegated the money isn't there and it becomes a big problem. I fear we could be in some serious trouble yet again if we went down this year.

I quite agree about the TV money. Clubs know each other has more money from TV income that they are just charging more, similar to what you would do if Man City or Chelsea came in for one of our players.

Doesn't help when we announce an 'undisclosed club record fee'. Isn't the idea of an undisclosed fee meant to be to keep your cards close to your chest? <doh>
 
I'm confident at the end of this season everyone will be saying how 8 million was actually a great deal.

Why do you have such a problem with people not thinking exactly like you, 16million is a lot of cash and Allam is full of ****! Try looking in the mirror for a dipshit'!
 
Like I said months ago I'll be delighted if Snodders signs.

Bruce knows his onions and knows what we need to kick on and Snodders fits the bill.

Superb end product, excellent from dead ball situations and scores goals.


I suppose to some £7 million looks to be a couple of million over the odds but TWT.
 
As long as some of that money has gone to alleviating some of the debt.

I would agree with this, but with the big fixture list ahead, I think this season every penny will be scrimped to prepare us for it, and I think that's probably the right thing to do if we're going to be serious about all competitions, which I bloody well hope we are!

He's a class player, exactly what we need. A lot of cash but you pay for what you get, need as many creative players as possible to give us a chance in the top-flight. Turned off Mr Twat if he's still reading

What makes him class?
 
I just hope he shaves that whispy beard off.

A tache or proper full set would be acceptable but not his current configuration.

Not good enough.
