You can say whatever you like but it would be nice if you were consistent. What you can't expect is to deny a figure for months and then use that same figure when it suits you and not have that pointed out.

Yes! Supporters all over the country are berating their clubs for not signing this £7M bargain! Imagine their grief when he's a full England international and worth £60M. A few have asked but nobody has answered ---if we put this future star up for sale now, how much would we get?

Good deflection! You spent months arguing vociferously that Brereton didn't cost £7M. Then, when it suits you, you claim we spent £10+ million in last year's transfer window, a figure that can only be arrived at by including £7M for Brereton. Got it? End of!

The thread is "stay or go?" If that's his attitude we will never go up. So what's the point?

When you stated we spent £10+ million last summer on transfers, I assume you were assuming £7M for the transfer of Brereton? Its just that you denied that for months.... As for the under-21 bit, when we signed him you insisted he was an 'experienced" player with Forest and told me how many games he'd played. I'm all for under-21's but not at £7M. You can't divorce the fee from the transfer when judging it. So, to be relevant to the thread, I hope TM never makes a blunder like that this transfer window or any other.

Isn't good enough.

So long as £7M doesn't go on one player who isn't able to play.

I thought the straw that broke the camel's back was the Board's failure to allow Hughes to replace Savage when he broke his leg?

I hope we don't spend a few million like last summer.

"balanced"!!!!!

Funny though!

and he'd improve the catering!

Its just that sometimes posters make several points i the one post. Is it possible to excise just those quotes from a "banned" post and leave the rest intact? No big deal----just a thought.

Is it not possible to wipe just the offending comments from someone who has merely quoted a post or would it take up too much time?

Not in Duffy's class there though!

shhhh

Armstrong could play in the middle---it'll be "like a new signing!"

So that's £2.5M for players and £7M for a future young star!

Unless they are free of course! Like Downing.

Its a difficult one this. That £7M probably has been wasted but we all hope the lad makes rapid strides in the next couple of seasons. Its what it tells us about the club's priorities that worries me most---and who decides them.

Might as well as have all our scouts in Middlesborough!

So we can splurge £7M on a young, unproven striker in the hope that he will come good in future years but we can't afford a smaller fee for arguably the most important man in the team? Says everything about the crazy state the club continues to be in.

That's the key!

Its also because he "doesn't put himself about", can't head it, doesn't seem to have much of a shot on him and couldn't trap a bag of cement. If he does turn it round his nickname will be Lazarus.
