Birmingham manager says Cardiff spent lots this summer

Just watched the distance reaction and he says how Cardiff have spent a lot this summer
Correct me if I’m wrong but sure we only spent £35,000 on Tanner and just spent £500,000 on etete last week, wouldn’t consider that a big spend to use as an excuse for there loss

So we signed all the free agents without paying them a penny to sign for us ? Very nice of them I must say not to take any money off us....

Ince the Reading Manager said the same, he lost out on two players due to Cardiff paying bigger signing on fees and wages!

Was that the reason he lost out on them though? Or was it more down to they didn’t want to play for Ince?

Unfortunately whereas you are correct in essence, you'll get a lot of stick for that comment.

Financial reasons, apparently. According to Ince anyway.

Talking out of his arse I reckon.
Morison has said we haven’t been able to get some players due to financial reasons, so we’re not throwing money at them.

Ince just using an excuse because he’s never going to come out and say they didn’t want to play for him.

Yes in essence we spent £535k on transfer fees on 2 players...... what about the free agents did we get them for nothing or did we pay money to get them to sighn for us? Because as far as "most" people understand free agents cost clubs money in fees even city
your interpretation of how football transfer finance works is bewildering to say the least..

Exactly. Free agents are in the position of basically asking for large signing on fees as we aren’t paying their ex parent club a fee.

Well I don’t know how much the signing on fee people demands is but as you all clearly know then please enlighten me as to what the value of each players signing on fee is? I wouldn’t expect it to be that great but as I said I don’t know the value. Due to a few responses it’s clear everyone knows the signing on fee so please tell me otherwise you don’t know and therefore can’t say it was a high fee I also assume the two manager criticising don’t know either so they can’t criticise either

No idea but I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t have signed without a fee; their agent wouldn’t have allowed that.

Well if a free agent market value is worth £500k you can assume
agent would be looking at similar fee for player to sign.....what shouldn't be in dispute is signing a free agent still costs club money to get him to sign.... anyone who thinks club only spent under 600k for for 15 players are deluded in the extreme..... wouldn't be surprised if total came out over £2m with the signing on fees for these players ... yes not a lot money but as we've seen buying expensive players doesn't always mean value for money ....
