What does NPC mean?

We need a goal scorer. Fern & Rodders will be enough for now. Add into the mix JG and we are golden for the next 3-5 years. FFP is an issue or we would also be in the market for a DM and a LB. As I said we need Goals this season. We can fix the other issues next season. FFP has made sure we can’t do it all in 1 window unfortunately.

Some fair points but people are sleeping on the LB position yet again...its like an Achilles heel that is protruding a yard out.

has it? Didn't seem like a problematic position this season, not as much as the striker position and perhaps someone in the david silva role (which persumably would be grealish)

Where’s this left back you talk about

I think as long as Pep's here we can manage the LB situation. Post-Pep, different story likely.

You are living in the past. Just because you live there dont expect us all to do the same.

I'm arguing for modesty in our spending if anything here...zero entitlement.

To be fair it's not Salford Blue who's goin on as though Peter Swales is still in charge. If our owners think we can't afford the transfer we wouldn't be doing it(if we are).

We’ve not done too bad in the last 12/13 years well I don’t think we have.

Thats some goalpost shift...but ok.

We haven't spent beyond a certain amount per player as of yet...maybe thats why. Its meant we haven't had to spread our budget so thin we cant reinforce positions in need.

That changes when we start paying mega money for players...and ones without the age profile on their side.

Listen i'm not saying i'm against big single spending, in fact its something we could (should perhaps) have done before...but to trivialise the idea of doing it for a player with age against him is foolhardy imo. Especially with the "its not my money" line.

Imagine we pay 150mil and he has a form destroying injury. At nearly 30 the ability to recover from some things isn't as great for example. Anyway enough hypotheticals from me...my point is simply that we should care how we spend.

To be fair i'd put my money on us going in on the last day with a 100mil take it or leave it offer. Which would sit ok with me.

I think we’ve done fine over the years with our spending,every now and then you have to open the purse strings and the time is now we are so fuckin desperate for a top class striker and they don’t come much bigger than Kane

Its a weakness. Anyone watching zinny in the final could still see it. We've slipped under the radar at LB purely down to sitting much deeper for much of the season.

I mean you've swerved my points but fair enough you're entitled to your opinion mate.

For the record I too obviously think we have done fantastically well this past 10 years...but letting sergio walk so easy when he was looking deadly again don't sit right with me when we clearly didn't already have something tied up(like MANY on here assumed we did). I know it may well have been a statement to whomever was potentially coming in to replace serg, but i think its just given power to the selling club ultimately.

Anything over 100m for kane and we've had our pants not only pulled down, but ripped off prison rape style.
