Uncle Tony tweets... Might shut the scaremongers up!

So now we've gone from look at how much debt we are in, to old hashed Dubai training camp pish-up stories, to indiscipline and laziness squad members, followed by a cheap dig at the manager. Is there anything else anyone wants to add?

I know we've been over the Dubai stuff - the point I was making concerned our the willingness of many of our fans to believe really obvious PR spin if it makes them feel better about a situation. This thread is a great example.

Yeah look at what Cardiff have done. Prime example. They've spent more than us on players, all are also much younger too and they'll end up with less points than us last season. Only two half decent players in Medal and Caulker. They won't have anywhere near the same assets as us.

We have 4 assets

Austin
Phillips
Remy
Taarabt - ( spurs get 40% )

Simpson, Hoillett and Onouha would all command pretty hefty fees IMO

Didums? Will it be didums if he ups and leaves because he has haf enough of all the c*nts? The only problems we will have financially are if the owners up and leave. There is nothing didums about that.

Spot on Ginge.. we finally agree on something!!

He came to us for a reason - because we offered far more than anyone else. Good luck shifting him

[West London is Rss]

I like Hoilett.. Think few fans on here have been very harsh on him. Had a stop start career with us because of injuries.
We shouldn't be shifting players like him.. still only 23

He has got ability I just see him as a bit of a bottle job . What I mean by that is if you were looking for someone to give that extra ten percent and bust a gut for the team he ain't your man. He doesn't seem to have that killer instinct

Yeah his a luxury player.. Can only have 1 or 2 at the max in the starting line-up. I do like him though, he has got better to be fair to him

Yeah he has and like yourself I also quite like him . He just frustrates the living day lights out of me sometimes

they would not command big fees ,because no one could match there wages

Calling himself Uncle Tony made me proper cringe.

Glad someone said that

a) Cardiff haven't "spent more than us on players". This isn't the 90s anymore. Wages are far, far, farrrrrr more important than transfer fees.

b) We have virtually no playing assets in that sense beyond Austin and Phillips. For us to sell a player, someone has to want to buy them. Someone with enough cash to lure them away from the huge salary they're almost all on at Rangers. How often do teams try and buy our players for a fee? Cardiff at least have a load of players who might get offers from elsewhere.

Incase you aren't aware:

Cardiff signings
Gary Medal £11.5million
Andreas Cornelius £8.5million
Steven Caulker £9million
Magnus Wolff Eikrem £2.2million
Kévin Théophile-Catherine £2.2million
Peter Odemwingie £2.5million
John Brayford £1.5million
Cala £1million
Total = £38.4million

Our signings
Hoilett £3.3million
Park £1million
Granero £5.4million
Diakite £3.5million
Samba £12million
Remy £8million
M'Bia £3.2million
Total = £36.4million


Most believe we paid mega money for players. Not true. Unless I've missed some players off our list from last season? I know which bunch of players I'd prefer to be trying to sell!
