The point is that no owner has this financial willingness over time. It as having a mistress asking for new diamonds to keep up. At one point the diamonds won't make it but for sure it was fun as long as it lasted..

There has to be a consencus that FFP has a very little effect. This should pave the way for new and more reasonable restrictions as for example wage caps, drafts and so on. This would make the league more competitive
Everything starts with a 'E" as The Shaymen once said.Hate to burst your bubble dude, but if "she" was a blond and not a blonde then "she" had a "cock". I'm sure you had a good time, though.......
FFP today allows sheiks and oligarks to keep clubs as pets. I am proud that this club i leashed by a proper business man instead
Values that were created over thousands of years are now beiing consumed in a year. That is sustainability in this wordl..
Oh come on. The evidence is there season after season, transfer window after transfer window. It's nothing to do with the anti Levy crowd. He's known throughout the football world for his brinkmanship and hard line approach to player purchases. Often resulting 2nd or 3rd choice gambles. You must be blind not to at least acknowledge this
Yeah and his poor management has led to us to being a top 4 club, having a new training base the envy of everyone, a youth set up thats now producing some amazing talent, what will be the best stadium in this country and a first team squad thats the envy of everyone, of which the players we signed by your reckoning were only 2nd and 3rd choices.
That Levy bloke is certainly holding us back mate you're right, the tight cunt.
we have about 70mil in the bank from this summer sales. Both might cost 90mil. Suppose Poch submitted wish list and Levy trying to nego. Near window closing Levy will panick buy whatever still available. Barkley and Mahrez likely still available. Similar story like Sissoko
needed an impact pacy player, maybe off the bench to make a diff. Besides Son , we lack genuine pace up front. Mahrez is a player with quality and most importantly available. Others are either not available or not quality enough
You have to try to think like a man who has no idea of the value of money
Agree. Spending 30mils bring you nothing better than even our bench. pay 100 for 2 players or just skip the window
You'd have to look at other examples and suggest it would be in the region of £10m- £15m imo.
The Sissoko one is just too complicated to answer. If he went to Everton and did well, who knows what would have happened. We could have won the league if he was the player we were hoping for.
I feel like you're asking for a retrospective answer, which is a bit of a trick in this context
Sometimes, you're not so bad.

They have so much power , financial clout that they can get around anything.

Well I did once spend £20 on a BBQ grill, and smashed it the same day because it was shit and didn't hold any heat.
Does that count?
Josh Onomah going someone is coming in centre midfield or right wing where Poch seems to fancy him. Thinking his sale means Barkley is done ish. Feel for Onomah a bit, looked and sounded like he was learning from playing and training with Dembele and Wanyama then gets chucked into the depths with Steve Bruce. Saying that I'd play Winks over him at every opportunity but still a bit strange, thought he was ready for premier league albeit somewhere further down the table.
I think £25m or even £30m is good price for Barkley, we have to go with current market prices plus show ambition, we have been 3rd and 2nd in last 2 seasons. Even at these prices we are taking advantage of the short contract he has, otherwise he is worth £50m plus. I won't be surprised if Everton won't sell below £40m, they know who ever buys him gives him 4 year contract can flog him for £50m in January or even more next June.
They just paid £30m for defender Keane who had 12 months contract with Burnley.

So at the point we signed them, there existed a potential future where they were both bargains, or both expensive.
Is this another one of those straw men things where you're trying to make out that someone has said "we shouldn't buy expensive players" when no one has?
