Darren Fletcher For £3m?


Recommended Posts

Fletcher for £3m or Smith for £1.5 - £3m depending on which source you check?????

 

All of the teams around us battling for 5th/ to break into the top 4 have strengthened, Villa have made some really good signings in my opinion yet all we've done is weaken our already lightweight squad.

 

Now as the start of the season approaches we're nowhere near getting anything like enough bodies of sufficient quality to take us forward and the players we're linked with has gone from Moutinho to Smith!!!!!

 

I say it every year but any signings made this late in the window are panic buys, all players really wanted are signed by now- unless clubs are reliant on selling before they can buy... which depressingly looks as though this is the case for us this year.

 

It wouldn't be so bad if the board came out and said, regardless of the successful fifth place last year, good run in Europe and Sky TV money increasing, we've got sweet FA to spend unless we sell. It would be hard to take when everyone around us manages at least £10-15m, but at least we wouldn't have a summer of hoping only to end up with nothing. End up with nothing and have BK come out and say "We tried to sign all of these big names"... which is rubbish. Making bids we know won't be accepted for players with no intention to move EVERY YEAR. The club treat the fans like idiots and if we struggle this season, which is perfectly possible with the low numbers we have then the blame will lie squarely with the board.

well half of the McFadden money went towards Pienaar, the other half will probably buy Smith and the Johnson Money will probably go towards Moutinho.

Which should still mean we have 10-15m to spend elsewhere (Wagner Love?).

 

I would be depressed if we didn't have any budget apart from what we have sold on.
