Not a good evening for the R'sss

[stan_bowles]

You'd rather we missed out on £75m a season in TV rights, rather than pay Fabio Borini 90k a week?

Yes,if we get relegated and are stuck with him in the Championship.

All very well throwing money around but if we go down its the Hughes situation all over again.

Spend sensible so if you go down as bottom team you get £60m plus £60m over 4 years parachute payments.

Then try and get back up.

Diarra was the RB cover.....

No, if we get relegated we sell him. We'd take a small hit, but surely the gamble of paying him 90k a week is worth it? As it is, we are relegation fodder if Austin goes down injured.

As many ex-PL clubs have found, getting back up from the Championship is easier said than done...just ask Leeds, Ipswich, Notts Forest etc.

rather miss out than have to pay the obscene wages these players demand

Agree 100% if we have put the message out were not mugs anymore it's a good evening. Glad we walked away from Borini given salary he wanted

[stan_bowles]

Onuoha is cover for right back and Harriman

Simpson obviously wanted out

Fair play to him if he thinks he has more chance of regular football.

Rodallega?

I think he must have realised he wasn't first choice.

Make you right not to agree to pay 90,000 a week for Borini. But why no plan b?

[MYU]

He wanted to play first team football, it wasn't about the money.

If we sign a striker within 2 hours, I'll eat my socks.

You'll need condiments!!

Excellent, so we've made a big moral statement that we won't get our pants pulled down by agents - and now have 3 strikers, only 1 of which I would feel confident in scoring 10+ goals in the league. I hope everyone feels proud of the stance the club has taken when we're complaining about a lack of goalscorers in the weeks to come.

We sell him like we have sold SWP,Tarrabt etc. and all the other over paid rubbish we can't get shot of?.

Sometimes is better to do a Burnley,who have probably spent less in their lifetime than we have in our last 2 seasons before this window in the prem.If they go down they will be well financially secure.We rely on Fernandes bankrolling a loss making club.

[West Acton]

This would be funny, if it wasn't so bloody depressing.

We have spent nearly £30mil in one window how is that depressing

[stan_bowles]

rodallega?

hell no!!!!.

[Hoopsmad]

Needed a striker and it will cost us
