There s the one about Zane Westerbrooke of Coventry and this Laurent from Shrewsbury...i would be very
surprised if anything came of Camarasa...too much money...it looks likes our cheaper option Manager is looking in the lower leagues for cheaper options....this hails back to the Slade era and down sizing the squad and saving on wages and replacing with cheaper options...
it is what it is.

I don t think its negative ...more realstic.....Tan didn t spend too much when we went up and what he spent last summer was more or less covered by the sales of Manga and Zohore and if we are to believe that the sale of reid will bring in 10.mill in the summer...then our summer dealings probabaly won t exceed that.

I think Tan is concentrating on reducing the debt and Harris and the Bargain basement plan is being implemented again as it was with Slade.

Tan had his hands burnt by Malky...and now he probably thinks they ve been burnt again with Madine /MurphY/Reid and other failed buys...I personally think Bacuna..Smithies..Cunningham.,Vassell...Flint and Vaulks were poor buys.

But time will tell

Tan isn’t ready to run a premier league club yet, they don’t know how, no football people involved. Losing 6 on madine, probably 5 on glatzel and a few million in Murphy is nothing in modern football. 15 million? PL clubs like Bournemouth saints and West Ham are blowing 50 odd million, look at Everton? The jacks even blew 80 million in rubbish like clucas, baston etc.
I get what he’s trying to do by reducing our debt but the quickest way to do that would be to get promoted and stay there, and for that you need a proper manager, like all the clubs who got up and stay up.

I dont think anyone is arguing with you....but we have seen the model before..failed attempt in the Premier league...bring in cheap manager and reduce the expenditure... and you are spot on No football expereince at the top

the sales money exceeded the purchases. so when your going to be losing your 3 loans plus Gunner and have Sol out for months on top of losing the sold players the budget needed to be higher...I don't do all this waste stuff tbh , not even Smithies who we did not use last season.. all Premier league teams had more than 1 decent keeper.. Burnley had 4 international keepers..
