What makes you think any of the money received will be reinvested in the team, it's not like we have a track record of re-investing anywhere near the money received for players on the team. For this reason I really don't get fans who say "yeah go on sell him". The replacements have been mostly...

What about Kayal? We could turn a quick profit on him. I imagine.

5 million is too good to turn down, shame. Not much quality left now and a more serious relegation battle beckons as we seem to be very good at getting top dollar selling players and very poor on getting the replacements in. Can we ask Gus for some tips do you reckon? :wink:

As he'll be slapping in a transfer request shortly the more clubs interested the better.

I imagine he will eventually ask to leave personally, parachute payments, big wage rise.

So they'll keep upping it a bit until they pay what we want at the 11th hour leaving us with a position to fill with a panic League One signing? Oh well at lest we'll have made a few bob to offset our losses.

It does make me do a Roger Moore eyebrow raise

I think the fact that the players brought in to replace Ulloa, Ward, Bridcutt, Barnes and Buckley ALL proved to be vastly inferior is the bone of contention for most of us disgruntled fans. Whether that was down to terrible recruitment, cheese paring on wages, getting loans rather than signing...

Interesting, which strikers ( Barnes aside) have been destroyed by Albion fans? We have only had three decent ones in the last 5 years and Barnes was one of them. I hope you're not suggesting CMS was destroyed by Albion fans, I've never see a player given more leeway by fans in the decades I've...

Hard to argue with most of that :lolol: However the manager approving every signing is very different to saying he'd "chosen" them.

I thought Hyppia was a disaster but I think that is a bit harsh, I know he was influential in getting Texeira, who was one of the plusses of the season, but how much did he have to do with the other acquisitions?

I'd love to know the true story behind the attempted signing of Clayton. Did he really chose not attend two Boro medicals as he waited for us to swoop? Was he ever going to choose us? Something very odd appears to have been going on throughout that whole saga. He is just the type of player that...

At LAST you've seen the light, welcome aboard the sinking Albion ship :wink:

I'll give you O'Grady but seeing as we were so piss poor upfront it would have been complete madness to let him go at that stage of the season, having screwed up so completely on striker acquisitions in the summer. I expect to see his wish granted this summer though.

Bit early in the day to be doing strong hallucinogenic drugs isn't it??

Ok so who have had a decent bid for, in the last year, that we haven't sold so far? Dunk apart.. Which players who have asked to leave have not been sold? Which of the players we sold didn't want to leave?

Where have I even mentioned reinvestment? I am well aware that how much we sell a player for bears absolutely no relationship to what we pay for his replacement. I have no axe to grind, it's TB's money and as it's plain we sell players if they want to go. It's the "he's not for sale" comments...

We can all applaud when he gets good money for Dunk too. Not sure as a fan that I get quite so much enjoyment from the mega money the club gets for our players as I should do....

K I think you'll find they've done feck all since they left too :lolol:

Have we kept any then? I thought we'd made lots of money selling them? I think the club are probably quite pleased with the money received. It's certainly worked out well on the pitch though.
