I know, but I said it better with the original quote and still fooled at least one goldfish. See above.

If we end up with a net spend of £0 I will be disappointed .
On top of the sale money we are now into mega tv money and at least £25m should be handed to squad strengthening.

You've had all day to think of something to moan about. Is that the best you can do?

Maybe our transfer business so far would have been better if we'd thrown a couple of million extra at each deal to ensure that we ran at a deficit?

Rumours Sherwood was in Barcelona today.

Espanyol centre half Hector Moreno hasn't travelled with the club for their friendlies in France, coincidentally.

Is there an actual link between us and Moreno, or have you just put 2 and 2 together?

He's probably going to sit behind the dugout at the Nou Camp.

Maybe it's like when Lambert spent 3 days with Pep in the Bayern camp and came back armed with a new exciting way to play. Unfortunately he couldn't stay for day 4 which detailed crossing the half way line after you've passed it to each other 40 times.

I bet he went to see pep at Barca too.

"So you keep the ball pass pass pass"?

"yes and then we pass it to Messi"

"It gets a bit Messy so you pass pass pass"?

"No. The forward. Messi"?

"No forward gets Messy"?

*sigh* "Never mind. Then we had a scootering Cafu but didn't need him at right-back as we got better".

"the Scottish Cafu. We can do better"?

"Well I guess so. But we put a bomb in the squad dropped him for better"

"A bomb squad. Drop the Scottish Cafu and we'll get better"?

*sighs* "Never mind"

pep must have pissed himself when he got the email asking if he could come to Dortmund for a look.

"Jesus guys. You must see this twat".

In fairness, he came back with the Guzan to Hutton, then back to Guzan tactic, which worked a treat.

Fair enough.

If you're worried about our friend from Solihull, it's not trolling, he really is that negative.

My guess at the wages version (p/w)

Players Sold   Fee   
Yacouba Sylla      £10k   
Matthew Lowton           £20k   
Andreas Weimann   £25k   
Darren Bent      £60k          
Enda Stevens      £5k   
Graham Burke       £5k   
Chris Herd              £15k   
Shay Given      £50k   
Fabian Delph      £80k
Christian Benteke   £65k
Vlaar                         £45k

Total:          £380k


Players Purchased   Fee                              
Micah Richards      £45k           
Scott Sinclair      £40k               
Mark Bunn              £15k           
Idrissa Gueye      £40k           
Jordan Amavi      £40k              
Jordan Ayew      £40k               
José Ángel Crespo   £20k               
Gestede                    £30k
French Fella               £40k
Adebeyor                  £ 100k
                  
Sum:       £410k
              
Net Diff:       +£30k   

£30k a week equals about £1.5m a year, or one place in the league (based on the old terms).
