Now let me get this right.

The hypocrites up the road keep saying that all we do is get in old players on huge wages?

Now they have taken our 30 year old highest earner in Dobbie.

They have now taken on a 32 year old ex world cup player, who has scored 8 goals in 37 appearances in the last 2 years, who wont come cheap.

A good 39 year old championship player who also will not have come cheap.

They have a first team squad of 31 to our 24 and at minimum of £10k a year, they are paying around £60k a year more then us.
How can they afford to do this on such low gates?

They criticise all other clubs for spending too much money chasing the Premiership dream, well it is looking a little like sh*t or bust for them again.

Wikipedia tells me he has been playing in the Qatari league these last few years and has since been released so you'll excuse me if I'm not quaking in my boots.

And they are offering Murray a 1million a year contract, maybe.

The strategy is spend, spend, spend the Zaha cash.

Who we couldn't afford to sign, allegedly, even on our gates and turnover.

Our gates are average for this division, but we've just sold a player for £10m up front that could rise to over £20m with addons, and we've also got Jon Williams who we'll probably get a similar fee for.

Sh*t or bust? Errr... no. Sorry.

Has signed another striker, former pompey forward Aruna Dindane. Could be bad news for someone in the run in.

Our strikeforce consists of Murray and Phillips. Two excellent players at this level who have been doing fantastically well, but if one (or god forbid, two) of them gets injured then we'd be screwed.

I'm sure the reason we couldn't sign KP was because he didn't want a move down south. Yet he's at Palace so it was clear that his heads been turned by a big wad of cash.

As would mine be. Probably last season of his career, who wouldn't take the money?

Still think they'll balls it up. My money's on us doing them in the P.O.

Laugh all you want but you're wrong. Mark my words, Williams, if he can avoid serious injury, will leave us one day for an 8 figure sum.

In regards to Dindane, seems a very decent signing, an international with real pedigree. He scored nearly a goal every other game in the Premiership a few years back. We have let Jermaine Easter leave for Millwall so that frees up a space in the squad + wages and I'd certainly say Dindane is an upgrade.
