glad that is all cleared up

One in and one out (+cash) = 99.9% chance

If for some reason that fails, then there are 1 of 2 options, but now unlikely.

1 certain OUT, and 1 almost certain OUT

Then 1 of 3 players OUT 50%: 65% : 50% chance - so whoever the 65% is, is most likely, but far from certain.

Then, the most interesting bit -

1 player IN at 95% chance; and another IN at 99% chance.

I like Tone, but so far the net spend this window is pretty low.

I believe it's called being smart with your money. Would it feel better to you if Lansbury cost 6m, Hourihane cost 5m and Thor cost 8m? We'd be getting the same players, just out of pocket by several million with a very healthy net spend.

No, but the quote was 'splashing the cash'  In the summer we spent some of the parachute payment and in this window we have pretty much broken even.

Like I said I like Tone, but so far we have hardly gone crazy cash wise.

We've spent about £50 million, excluding sales.

Feel free to point out all the Championship clubs who have spent more.

If we'd spent £100 million we might sneak into a play off place.

Why would you exclude sales?

Gueye - £7.1m
Clark - £5m
Traore (?)
Callum Robinson?
Gestede - £6m
Ayew - c£7m?

Like I said I'm happy with Tone and yes hes spent a chunk of the parachute payment.  But your comment, made at this time of year, inferred we are splashing cash all over the place this window, whereas that is not the reality YET.

Sorry, meant if you deduct sales. We've spent about £50 million in total. I seem to have exaggerated though, it's probably about £30 million... an absolute fortune for a club in our position. And that's before you count the cost of hiring/firing management teams.

According to this site, excluding any business today, we've spent approx. £25m

Yeah that's what I focused on too.  If one of them isn't Bedeau then is that Rhodes and Hogan?  I wouldn't think we'd get two strikers so is it Lee and Hogan but do we need another midfielder?  Perhaps we do if Pointy goes.

The guardian had it at 67m, slightly behind Leicester of the prem and the barcodes who both spent around 71m- not sure if that includes wages. Maybe it was for last season, can't be arsed to check.

So presumably

Ayew out, Taylor in + £4m

So presumably

Ayew out, Taylor in + £4m
Tish out (unless he's already off the equation) Westwood nearly out and one or two of others (fingers crossed mcFatty but unlikely according to Bruce)
Bedau in and Hogan or Rhodes

[Clark W Griswold]

I would think that Bedaux is one and a striker is the other personally.

Site being weird.

Nothing new there, then.

[achilles]

Basically I don't give a f**k what we spend as long as the quality is there, and personally I think we have done cracking business so far, really pleased!
