He did. I thought £7m bought you in off the bar though. :hilton:

I imagine your fleetingness has been used to good effect over the years. I think Bernie is a good left back, but I've not seen a £9m contribution yet. I'd love to see him beat his man or get a cross in. I was hoping that is what £9m gets you. Montoya has been steady enough, but compared to...

Yes exactly, and I agree, I only picked up on that part. Gross is the only player I think we have signed over 2 years that went far beyond his fee, and we'd get good money for him if we sold. Not sure any of the others are in the Gross bracket though, perhaps Andone at £5m is. Very few others...

You're not discussing with NSC and any old thread started, you're discussing this point through NSC with me, specifically. Someone starting a Montoya thread 6 months ago is irrelevant. My point was you said each signing had shown ability far beyond their transfer fee. I am really struggling...

Now that is a statement. I'd love to know when Jurgen showed you far above £17m of ability, because I must have blinked! :lolol:

Actually, you have the point of this thread all wrong. It really isn't pointing to foreign labour at all, it is pointing at labour that has no experience of English football. It wasn't blaming the new signings either, it was blaming a lack of variety in signings that you might pick up one or two...

As you keep pointing out, foreign players signed from foreign leagues need time to settle. It has come back to bite us hard that we haven't signed anyone that hasn't needed time to settle. We have gone from Ryan, Gross, Propper, Izquierdo all having big impacts in their debut seasons, to...

It's not about signing from the Premier League. Burnley's success has been bought from the Championship, or from teams relegated. Cork was £8m. Wood £14m. Taylor free. Hendrick £10m. Westwood £5m. I'm concentrating on them as that is the transfer page I have open. I think we have missed out...

Talksport, Ian Holloway: "Tony Bloom would be better off looking at their scouting and transfer business than their manager in my opinion"

Balogun was awful at home to Chelsea, a litany of errors in games that followed, if there is one thing Hughton has got right, is Burn moving up the pecking order to reserve centre back. Balogun has been given plenty of chances, but is coming well short for what is required in this league, as are...

I agree, last season we were pretty settled in terms of squad and formation. We were also fortunate that we had no real injury issues or disruptions. Last season we also had some genuine match winners even when not playing well, Izquierdo and Gross in particular conjuring goals out of nothing -...

I don't actually mean 'English', just experience of playing in England.

It occurred to me on another thread, that we haven't signed a player we anticipate going into the first team with experience of playing in England for 2 seasons (I'm not including reserve keeping or squad players, maybe unfair on Burn). 2018/19 Jahanbakhsh Eredivisie Bissouma Ligue 1 Bernardo...
