jamiemaher85 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) Jeffers left us in 2001 and has scored 16 league goals since then. That's why he's available on a free. Hilarious.

I can see Spurs being allowed to register VdV but West Ham not being allowed to register Jacobson. The Premier League and FA clearly have certain favourite clubs. Spurs are one of them.

Romey 1878 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 The Premier League and FA clearly have certain favourite clubs. Spurs are one of them. In this case I think it's more to do with the PL being more concerned about the leagues image. High profile players have been leaving this league recently so I just couldn't see them turning away a player of Van Der Vaart's calibre atm. If it was a nothing player they wouldn't get the dispensation IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They cant, stroke face is in charge, hope theres a police prob before he leaves and turns out he's fiddled all the transfers he's ever been involved in. Why when we ask for 'special treatments' we get knocked back all the time and other clubs always get what they want? It's bollocks. Aw well, onward and upward, i hope they finish outside European places full stop next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we should have gone for high profile players before the deadline coz their prices drop by £10m (!?) all the time, that way if they were a biigger name, we should have got them no problem!

The player agreed terms but the signing hinged on Bayern selling another player in order to raise the funds. This sale fell through so the whole deal fell through. Real had no plans to keep him in the team and he wouldn't make the 25 so they needed to get rid, nobody came in for him so the price kept dropping. That's why the fee was so small. It's still wrong though the Premier League verified the deal after the window closed. Not surprising though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcopaulo Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 surely they wouldnt take a ten million loss for a last minute sale though? keep him around as a squad player til they can get rid in january..he isn't gonna cost shed loads in wages is he? maybe youre right though but it just seems a hellishly large drop in a fee that's all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's that to think about. Plus having a player who just played in the World Cup final just sat around doing nothing for a year could cause morale problems. If a team can afford to spend £80m on one player, taking a £10m loss isn't really such a big deal. Plus the player cost Real £10m, they sold him for £8m. Not really a terrible loss in the grander scheme of things, especially for a team like Real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blueboy122 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 It really does annoy me as i have said previous posts other teams around us strenghthing whilst we just stand still and sign jermaine beckford from league one, its a disgrace we have finished above teams like spurs, birmingham etc who are always improving there squads. Moyes must be so dissapointed along with the fans. Also another point we have had numerous occasions at the end of each season were liverpool have been weakened but we havent taken advantage of this and as i said we stand still. its a joke.

Finn balor Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Got to agree we do what we normally do, fail to build. Even the top teams reinforce there teams just to give the other players a kick up the arse. Im not having that all are money went in contract bollocks either. The added extra wages for arteta, rodwell etc is the equivalent of getting some free transfers in or loans and paying them £20 grand a week. Its bollocks. Then again i suppose we have next summer to wait till the last day till Rodders gets sold. And its goes on....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncanmckenzieismagic Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 It is extremely frustrating that we have stood still when all around us have strenghthened thier squads. (except Villa) When we finished last season it was obvious we desperately needed a decent forward a RW and a back up LB. None of those problem areas have been addressed. If Im honest if I was given the choice of keeping the current squad together on improved contracts or making a decent signing I would have done the same thing the club have. At the end of the day we just have to acccept that at this moment in time we are just a small club punching above our weight and that isnt going to change any time soon. Its just a sad indictment of the club that the height of our ambitions this season is to tread water. Its not all gloom and doom though because despite the poor start we do have our best squad in years , (and by the time the FA Cup comes around it they might even play like that!). If we could just nurse Saha back into the form he showed in the first part of last season or get in a hypnotist/dietician to trick the Yak into thinking he has signed for a new club so that we can get another 18 months out of him then we would be sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 The club can never win. If we lost Arteta or Rodwell or Cahill or Baines the club would have been slated by the fans. We do this yet most are still unhappy. It's signing or securing the squad we have. For better or worse we are not running the club into the ground with debt and over spending on the faint hope of a champions league spot. When the big money men get bored you'll see that our thriftiness hasn't been such a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can all long for money to come in but in my eyes about 75% of the new owners coming in at the moment are more trouble than they're worth. People say alot of Lerner, for example, being a good example of how a new owner can work out. In the past four years he's put £80m debt onto the club and takes £5m management fee's from the club. United's and Liverpool's problems with the owners putting crippiling debts onto their clubs is well documented. Pompey have screwed up, Leeds screwed up, Hull almost screwed up. The guy mooted to buy Blackburn has just been announced as actually bankrupt. Sunderland and Brum both have new owners but who knows what lies around the corner for them? The "vast majority" as you say, are spending money, which I don't think is entirely true, the spending in the Prem is down £200m over the last few season and if it wasn't for City it would be drastically less. Alot of people are saying about how Sunderland have spent highly this summer, and it's true that they have invested £18m on new players, but they have also sold £18m worth of players. Arsenal's net spend is only £4m but they have taken 20 players off their pay bill this summer. Brum have invested but have also had to shift 14 players off their books. Fulham was sell to buy. Liverpool was sell to buy. Spurs have been very thrifty considering the revenue boost they will recieve this year. I'll accept what is going on with the club as we are ensuring that we are living within our means. More clubs will start hitting much harder times soon and people shouldn't think that the world is full of generous arabs willing to plow untold fortunes into a club. City are the exception. Not the rule. By the way, this is not an apology for BK. I'm not an aplogist before I get labelled it by some. I'm just trying to look at the bigger picture here and take in the facts and figures with other clubs.

Not as much as other though. Almost every club is going into further debt. And almost every club has a sell to buy policy in place. It's just that every other club is now shifting the dead weight in their squads. We don't have much dead weight in our team so don't have the same level of squad turn around that others do.
