maybe none of them will be in the team in two years.
then there are the money spent on all the other players hughes buyed and its really hard to classify them as "investment" , i hope you can agree.

Its probably posts like this that you assumed we'd probably got into arguements before.
I could do the same list with any manager... but your "mancini can do no wrong, Hughes could do no night" doesn't stick to rational ;)<br /><br />-- Sun Aug 15, 2010 4:23 pm --<br /><br />

Thats a differnet matter.. they're all quality players.
We had a curve we needed to be aware of, we couldn't go out and bid for a Silva or a Balotelli striaght off the bat (even though we tried).
I could see sense in Hughes transfer targets. Get in proven Prem experience along with the hard working types of Kompany, De Jong, Zabaleta etc

C'mon Gstar....is Lescott really of a quality that leaves us looking like lovelorn teenagers chasing the forbidden fruit? £8-10m max. Bridge...£10m plus? Hopeless in comparison to Koralov. Santa Cruz.... £18m youre having a real laugh there???
Bellamy brought too much baggage with him, Trouble at most clubs(not golf) he's been atand on balance probably just about justified being here...though again £14m?? Dont think Hughes will be offering 50% of that for him @ Fulham.

I think Lescott is good for our squad, i think his temprement and confidnece is in question, but he wouldn't be totally out of place in any of the top4's squad.
Bridge, price we over paid, but then we have for most transfers. I'm with you 100% on RSC, a Hughes 'comfort' signing who should never have been brought to the club.
Bellamy has brought very little baggage and was one of if not our best player last season, there's plenty of our squad gone public with disgrutles it would be unfair to single out Bellamy.
What we need to rmember, as i mentioned above, is that we've needed a buying curve, we couldnt build a title challenging squad from mid table in one season, we needed/need continuing progression to atrract continuingly better players.

Okay, fair points but I really do not think Lescott represents VFM (just my opinion).
You be at the Liverpool game?
PS you wont give me a warning or ban me for disagreeing with you will you.... Like Deniro would..lol.

Oh i agree, very few our our signings since the takeover have represented value for money.
I shall, i think i'll end up in Mary Ds around 6ish, one one of the other pubs around the ground.
Haha, course not mate... i'm prepared for as much stick as anyone else.
