This ^ (although I suspect you'll get FFP quoted at you - but which could be construed as Marwood's apparent incompetence in negotiating and persuading)
This is a masterstroke by Slur Alex - not something to celebrate because he's the ripe old age of only 29 or, even more pathetically, in the hope he gets injured.
Everything about RVP's move to scum goes against everything bacon has sprouted before, he is desperate, WE are not. We will add players in time, we are here for the long haul, bacon isn't. If i was a scum fan i would be bloody worried, bacon is putting his own personal dismay of last season ahead of what he is going to leave when he goes. I am not wishing RVP an injury because he signed for them but i would not have been happy if we had paid what they have for him when you consider everything
I take your point to a degree - but more in hope than reality - what's wrong with being desperate to win the league? You could conversely argue that we are being complacent. RVP would have been the knockout blow that would have secured success - but instead we have let our rivals off the ropes.

Real just won the league, they have bought Modric.
Chelsea won the CL and FA Cup, they have signed Hazard, Marin, Oscar, De Bruyne and are still looking for a RB.
Bayern finished runners up in CL and have bought Martinez, Mandzucic and Shaqiri.
Juventus won their league, unbeaten I may add. They are looking to sign a striker and have already strengthened with a few players like Lucio for example.
Why should we be different?
Because we have the 5th biggest squad in the premier league?
The 5th youngest squad in the premier league?
The only club in the top 4 to have a bigger and younger squad then us is arsenal....
I suppose the fact Barcelona haven't gone mad with strengthening their squad after a season of winning nothing means they'll win fuck all this season as well?
They won the Copa del Rey, Uefa Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and Supercopa de España.Tricky Dickys Right Foot Shot said:NipHolmes said:the goats backside said:Wish people would chill.

Baraclona went mad last year and are looking to strengthen in their only weak department which is defense. If they get a CB I see them winning everything again this year be it La Liga and CL.
They are looking at Song (started as a CB early in career) and Agger.
They have also signed Alba to replace their long term Abidal, whom is ill with Liver Cancer iirc, he by the way could play as a CB if needed.

Well I stand corrected, still the same applies considering they've only bought a left back and centre back who I assume will be replacing Puyol in the future...

Theirs your answer as I already posted. They had a weakness and they are fixing. Last year they had to spend on Sanchez to stop us getting him and they also got Fabregas. They also have a certain David Villa to replace in due time unless Cuenca is played there.
Spending £30-40mill on Alba and Song whom would probably cost us £50m isn't bad business and doens't support your opinion of not going mad. They are spending and they are improving.
