Pretty sure you are not Enzian over there either are you?

every board i post/posted on user name has/will always be enzian.it's quite an obscure name.
ps.i don't agree with you on the figures.it's just spin on your part,i suspect on behalf of gp.i also note that for the past several weeks you have run a anti fb agenda,similar in some respects to your previous "souza"one. nothing to do with gp every was briatores fault,gp was just obeying orders.
in my opinion the sooner gp is gone from the club the better.

I have no problem with your opinion. This thread is not about one person, its about the lack of money been spent on players, not sure why we have gone down that path.

When you analyse the money thats been spent on this club on players, its peanuts made up of many loans, selling our most value players (Blackstock and routledge) and bringing in sod all

[Hoopaman]

Why would the club state the deal was worth 3.5m if it's not true?

Your argument only focuses on transfer fees pete. You've missed out agents fees, signing on fees, wages and loan fees! I don't very much your suggesting taarabt and Simpson are with us for absolutely nothing for an entire season?!

spin. we are used to the odd "doosey" nowadays...

Great ambition shown by the board. The 4 year plan should have been titled ' how to try and sneak up without spending a penny whilst hoodwinking the fans.'

BTW Magilton told me Faurlin was a loan.

If you don't spend anything you don't get anything. Tight a**e fat boy thank the lord he isn't in charge anymore but my worst fear is that his legacy may hurt us even more....

cant fault Flabio too much, he acted on bad advice from Paladini (MR "i know it all about football"). Whichever way you look at it Briatore sanctioned the bringing in of some 47 players, too bad he trusted the quality of them players to an underling.........he didnt spend very much which is a disgrace after promising so much but the way what he did spend (in agents fees alone)was wasted on poor players and reserve rejects is shocking and total incompetency by Paladini. Should never have been trusted with the job of DOF and now should be sacked for the mess he made of it.

Camp for £200k, that still grates me, the guy was treated appallingly, great keeper now being spoken about for England if Forest go up & he continues his from in the Prem...JOKE & we are now left with a bloke nearing retirement on thousands a week for sitting on his ageing backside & a bloke who is 4th choice at a Woleves team not much better than some in the Championship & who can't kick...brilliant piece of business that!!!

I always thought the faurlin deal was "spending spin", and have been saying for over a year that we were only spending incoming money on players, and not from their own pockets.

Re - Faurlin the club never said a transfer fee of 3.5m they very carefully used language so that it is everything in total, transfer fees, wages, agents, accomidation etc.

The thing I am very suprised that no one has mentioned here, is that Loans are not free, often there is a fee involved (remember how much we paid in loan fees for furlong) plus wages plus agent fees and "sundries" so trying to make out we have not spunked a massive load of cash (let us not forgot compensations for managers) based on "reduced" transfer fees which probably only account for a 1/5th or less of expenditure does not really wash
