if we have a spare 165.000 what we offered for constatine then surely we could afford a decent striker even if we paid him 5 grand a week till the end of the season .

Barrel of Fun said:Do we have £165k to burn?? It would be better spent on permanent transfer than wasting it on a four month wonder. Assuming we still have that sum, readily available, I would rather we try and pick someone up in the summer. Either on a free and use that for signing on or bid for someone.
we have 150k in transfer kitty from last year plus 200k from cup run . not forgetting 150k from henderson. so money should be available. 10k in a year on players is a joke . we have sold too many players and replaced them with has beens hence our league position and dwindling crowds!Barrel of Fun said:Do we have £165k to burn??

Barrel of Fun said:Very true Rangdo.
I understand that, but we don't have money to fund players on big deals, with no chance of making a profit on them. I.e. Losing them on a free at the end of the season..
What if Ruth Kelly was to give us a resounding No, or open up for a further public enquiry? We just have to hang in there until we get a final YES!!
It is all very well saying that we should spend the money, but are the right players out there and available to us? Maybe we should have matched Millwall's valuation of Byfield, but there is no telling whether he would have accepted an offer.
Rangdo said:When you take into consideration how skint we've been in recent times it amazes me how short-sighted people's attitudes are the moment it becomes apparent that we might have a small sum of money to spend. I think some people spend a bit too much reading about the likes of Chelski and Manure on the back of the Sun.

Go down and lose even more STH?
IF we had invested in a striker A YEAR AGO then we might have stayed up and had use for the white elephant that is the extra seats.
Go down and this club is really F***ed.
