shandypants Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 ...if MIlan changed his budgeting philosophy. Our defence is sound. Imagine where we could be if MIlan loosened the purse string and bought four decent midfielders and two decent forwards. IMHO, Mandaric is so short sighted. You have to speculate to accumulate.

Cersei Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 He isn't up for it and we just have to live with it, he wants rid and we can't do much until he does, He needs to drop his asking price, 40 mil is not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have to live with it but we probably will because of the never-ending but fvcckking frustrating gratitude that a lot of fans feel towards MM for buying our club when we were in poo poo street. We can't thank him forever. He needs to step up at some point. I agree about the asking price. Edited November 22, 2014 by shandypants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Brentford have proved that with a bit of foresight, you can fashion a decent side at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandypants Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) How much do 6 decent championship players cost? How much does ONE proven championship striker cost? A considerable amount of money but that doesn't mean we shouldn't buy them. Edited November 22, 2014 by shandypants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheff Owl Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 When we was riding high if we had acted then i wonder how many of these players that have turned us down recently would have jumped at the chance to sign for us? It does strike me that any chance to save a bit of money and we do it, things going well so no need to spend is an easy get out, yet when things go south and you panic for a month here and there how much do you spend? Every summer our house is never in order, no wonder we end up struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandypants Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised if we sell Westwood in January for a considerable sum and spend nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 If we spent £10 million we would be far from certain to win promotion.Looking round the championship today the player's sat on other team's benches we could make two sides with. Possibly true, but as I said, Brentford have fashioned a useful side on next to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Possibly true, but as I said, Brentford have fashioned a useful side on next to nothing. Next to nothing on the outside Look how much they have spent overall and for them its a Kings Ransom They are the kind of exception that everybody loves to point to and say " why arent we doing what they're doing" They won't get promoted and then what? For them - nothing changes - but for a club that has invested heavily?!?!? Edited November 22, 2014 by scram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cersei Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised if we sell Westwood in January for a considerable sum and spend nothing. I would. I think we will keep him but sign bugger all. Milan probably realises keeping westwood will save him a fortune by keeping us up without buying anyone to score goals. All I know is we are in limbo, and it's boring as f**k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 To have 2 TOP championship keepers is ridiculous If Westwood is worth a packet then sell him - put in our goal his extremely capable understudy and spend the money on somebody who can make a difference in an attacking sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the sort of investment I had in mind Enough spent to enable you to think that if you performed to the height of your abilities, you had a chance of mounting a challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I'd be happy but I'd just see it as a loss to the squad and wouldn't hold my breath for a sttiker to cone in or a midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so fvcckked off at the moment I don't think I have ever felt so indifferent towards the club. Mandaric has zero ambition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
