  1. ??????

     

    Rumours going round that we haven't been able to pay players for last 2 months yet we've been able to increase seamus/vic terms and bring in a new player, although only £250k we wouldn't be doing this if we can't pay our current staff!!! :lol:

  2. ...on the strikers, I think Moyes has flopped when bringing in a 'high-profile' striker.

     

    He signed Beattie for £6m when he could have got Ashton for £3m in the same window - okay Ashton retired a few years on but he wnt to West Ham for £9m odd before this.

     

    AJ showed flashes but was ultimately poor - for the fee we probably could have signed Bent or Defoe at the time.

     

    Yak was class - I remember people saying we wouldn't like Bent and cash when spurs were sniffing.

     

    Saha proved a good signing at the price.

     

    Basically when moyes has had big money for strikers it hasn't really worked for whatever reason, but Bent going and Sunderland signing is parellel to Lescott and us. So yes they have more money and riches up-front but overall we have a lot more strength.

  3. They have Gyan, hardly much of a downgrade now is it? If we were to lose Saha we'd have Beckford or Anichebe stepping in... shows the difference between the two sides right there.

     

    Look at it another way... Titus Bramble is their captain - we had Jags on the bench yesterday!

     

    They've been able to invest in their strike force the last 2/3 seasons, we had invested a similar fee in Yak/AJ as they have in Gyan/Bent, their investment seems a better 1!
