500k for King
450k for Henderson
£150k for Spring
Spent wisely yes but still he HAD a considerable amount of money to SPEND.
You seriously think that given the same budget as Boothroyd McGhee wouldn't have been looking at these players or better?

I dont often argee with your MM abuse but in this case i will make an exception. I cant believe we have spunked 150k on someone whos about as useful to us as sand in the desert.
From chatting to watford fans it seems the manager is class and has brought in some troubled (carlisle)/ out of form (King) players and got them playing brilliantly.
They haven't really had any big injury problems and so its been a settled squad added to by some good loan signings.
The big difference is that with a decent ground and good attendance they can afford to pay the high wages of these players.

Spring is an excellent signing, a free scoring midefielder, great purchase for £150k.
However, was this the sort or player that anyone on here claimed we needed in the summer when he was available?
Assuming we could meet his wage demands and relocation costs of course, would it have been wise to splash out £150k on this player when our priorities were:
a left-back as cover for Mayo
a centre-back as cover for Hinsh
a left-winger and a right winger
a target man and a striker

During WWII it was a criminal offence to omit light from a door war or window during the hours of darkness, in case enemy planes above could utilise it to target the streets below.
A special local ammendment was added to the legislation in the town of Gillingham, where residents were also required to keep their fridge doors shut.
Little known fact that.

IMHO it is unrealistic to expect him to give any more money he has with a little help kept us afloat for the past 3 years.

Sorry, no.
A manager would not take the chairman buying a player under his nose (unless its graham rix)

Who said he had no ambition? Surely Falmer is all about ambition...
He just doesn't have millions of pounds to invest or access to a world famous Musician who is prepared to give his time for free to top up the transfer kitty.
