    So why are there a couple of posts discussing being able to afford players?

    Maybe I've just misunderstood something; it's been a bad and long day.

    Affordability is Irrelevant once we sell Morgan.

    Again, why the "once we sell Morgan"

    It's irrelevant now.

    Not strictly transfer related but my "parrot" has squawked that Henderson will be on the Fifa 16 cover, to be announced probably by the end of the week

    Cash flow could be an issue as it has been in the past

    I doubt that with the incomes now; loads of ways to finance or find a deal.

    I guess time will tell, just thinking out loud on here that I think we all agree that the squad needs re strengthening, and quotes coming out of club today via Koeman press and clubs new YouTube piece, is that they are waiting to see what happens with Morgan And Toby situation. Also the link with the Twente player, at around £750K, not really inspiring, guess we've just been spoilt recently.

    He did but there was apparently discussion as to whether to follow general twitter opinion or the poll. In the end saw no reason not to follow the poll.

    Does the fee need to be big to be inspiring?

    No, but some quotes I've seen from Dutch fans and press, say that it's a strange buy as not good enough for their league let alone the premier league? But as I said, time will tell.

    That's fair enough, you just emphasised the fee, that's all.

    I know, funny though as we've all forgotten about signing players without a few million in the price.

    No, I'm with you on this Fats. There's been a bunch of people recently weirdly talking about money/"don't you remember how close we were to administration"/need to be prudent/can't compete etc etc.

    Last time I checked we made a pretty hefty profit last year, TV money was rather good, we finished 7th with handy prize money, and Katherina was one of the wealthiest owners in English football.

    Quite why people think we're suddenly all a bit short is beyond me.

    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
    Ive been indoctrinated!

    Bollocks to that, just start whinging that we're not doing enough in the transfer market :)
    Maybe we are getting sold?
