Nope Nugent is 2 million rising 4 if we're promoted. That whole squad wasn't just bought over night and I wasn't entering a 'money debate' my response was to the person that said we should've won the league at a canter and I'm merely highlighting that in terms of over all squad value ours isn't the most costly. We're second or third top spenders in the league this season but in my opinion it had to be done.

How much is the REAL figure that you get for being promoted to premier league, so many being banded about?

With Hunemeier thats £5,8 million spent this season with no other money coming in from transfers, and we are allowed to make £13 million loss this season. I think Middlesborough spent £25 million with £3 million incoming.

Downing was also 5.5m rising up to 7m if promoted.

We had plenty of money from transfers in the bank from last year. Ulloa alone covers that.
A good indication would be who we've tempted away from Boro or Burnley.... which is no-one.
Burnley took Barnes off by dangling higher wages and Boro beat us for Clayton, even though he offered the same fee. We couldn't beat their package however.
It shows that arguing over transfer fees is not the whole story

Thats even better then and shows how much control Bloom has with the spending. I do think we will see a near £13 million loss this season, as I think thats how Bloom works, trying to maximise our chances financially.

I believe it's 5 rising to 7.5 if we're promoted and I have to admit, he's been nowhere near as good as I was expecting - certainly not worth anywhere near that kind of money.

Boro gave them a player which hughton said put us out of the race.

Are you talking TV deal money alone or all in? Because if it's the later that is a very complicated answer.

Yes Butterfield went the other way and when you consider that Derby paid over 4 million for him, you can see how that sealed the deal.
Clayton is one the best buys we've made in ten years.

Skalak £2m? Do you have a source for that? Also add in Huenemier £1.5, KLL £1m and murphy £1.5m which adds another £4m to the total.

Over achieving? If that's what you genuinely believe then fair play, but you've carefully excluded some very expensive players from that list. No fan from any other Championship club looks at Boro and thinks 'ooh, aren't they doing well with their measly £25m squad'. Rhodes nearly cost more than our entire squad ffs

I don't think Barnes was on that much more at Burnley than Brighton, didn't he publicly say he wasn't happy at Brighton and moved because he felt the fans were negative towards him? He told the club he wasn't signing a new contract so they sold to the highest bidder.

Total all in, as an example the parachute monies that clubs get when relegated

Some of your figures are too high, Baldock wasn't over £1m and Kayal was only £100k. I'm concerned about the fee for Skaak as well I don't think that is anywhere near accurate. He cost less than £2m

Interesting that 35% have voted no to automatic promotion -allow for a few NSCers but even so there is a significant minority that are pessimistic about their chances.

Those fees he quotes for Baldock and Kayal were widely reported, and everyone I know would quote them if asked how much these players cost.
Where have you got the idea that Baldock was less than a million and Kayal was 100k?
Let's face it, it really doesn't matter who cost what. Next Saturday is almost certainly a cup final and the only thing that really needs to be settled is who needs the draw and who can get the title of the three of us. We won't know that until Monday evening.
Hughton is right to say the pressure's on Boro though. They're at home and should have pissed this league along with Derby if it was based on squad strength alone. You've got to be disappointed if you have Ayala, Rhodes, Clayton and Downing starting and Nugent only on the bench and you don't go up from this league. I've thought the quality of a lot of teams I've seen this season has been poor.
