If only it were that simple.

Have you heard any update on Stuani?

 

[Husty]

if we just want to sign anyone then I'm available on a free transfer (signing on fee ~500k) I've played 90 minutes of football in the last 5 years and that's for a good reason - I'm shit. BUT. I am someone and a I available immediately and my wage demands wouldn't be too extravagant so I suggest the club gets in contact.

Do you need an agent

My car's looking a bit tired if I'm honest. My mate can spend £55k on a new BMW, why can't i?

Probably because you've frittered it all away on Tiaras and Cucumber Sandwiches ..... Ma'am .

I'd sign on for £50k. I'm 60, have got a dodgy knee, but am fairly fit for my age - I can actually still run. And rather than talking in the £30k a week area, I'd do it got £30k per year.

Whether I would bring much to the table is another matter.

Then again, if there isn't a table involved, it might just be worth it. (I always thought the "what do you bring to the table" concept was a bit daft.)

There's no point just spending money for the sake of it.

Could you have a word with my missus

 

[WhingForPresident]

I don't mean someone as in anybody, I mean someone that can strengthen the team, I was exadurating the £2million bid thing

Maybe Bloom does not want to spunk £8 million of his money every year after laying out for the stadium & academy

This is a good answer. Many threads have "why don't we spend £ (add your millions here)" when they mean why doesn't Tony Bloom do it. If I'm one of the "we" in the former category, where do I send my 53 pence and who could "we" buy with it ?

As fans of the Albion we are all pretty much clueless as to the Albions spending power, and perhaps Mr Bloom has his money tied up in other projects or other aspects of the Albion project. He has sunk a few bob in it after all.

In the olden days - I remember,I started there- the first most supporters knew of a signing was in the Argus and of course in those days this could happen at any time, not just during fake fee inflating transfer windows. Most times you'd never heard of the player or knew if he was any good.Most times it was Joe Average from some first division reserves, and often hardly any new players came. Thus many teams had players who turned out more than El Abd, and many players were "versatile" which meant they played in as many positions as Adam Virgo . But "we" never spent any money - others did. Our money went at the turnstile, the jackpot tickets, now and again the programme. Little changes, eh ?

Oh, and I lied about Virgo. Nobody EVER played in as many positions as he did, often in the same game !

I would rather keep the money than sign Grabban or Mason- overpriced and not quality

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Why do people compare us to other clubs and assume one club bidding £2m means another should. You may be able to go out a buy a Porsche today because they've got 10% off, doesn't mean your neighbour could?

Similarly, paying £2m for a striker isn't a good thing if a. There are better players for less money, b. Better players on different stages of their contracts or c. Deals that can be structured in a way that lowers the purchase price.

If we could bid £200m for Messi it would be pointless if we could only offer him £10k a week and Championship football.

 

[Norman Potting]

Ryan Harley or Stephen Dobbie anyone?

 

[WhingForPresident]

The people demand the return of Seb Carole and Chris Holroyd.

Too many wet lettuces on here!! There's no way in hell our squad is staying he same come Feb, just wait.

I should have read the thread I seem to have used your example in my rant above ... apologies!

I've heard we're in for a guy from Asia, but he's a bit injury prone: Dod Ji-Nee.



Will he do?
