harryram Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 That wage bill will be peanuts compared to almost all prem clubs so lets just make sure we get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott129 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 indeed, I don't care about the wage bill, that's someone else's problem like you say. Just wanted to point out the ridiculous amount that must come to!I'm more concerned about the sheer amount of signings we're making!I don't think our squad was actually in need of a massive overhaul and I just hope it doesn't disrupt the squad balance in any way.

It looked like a child's spinning-top as the speed decayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyinLiverpool Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Balance schmalance. Let's have more players better than the ones we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Is it just me, or does last season seem like a year ago? All these signings are obliterating negativity at an unbelievable rate.Does anyone else really really hope that Rampage is Mel Morris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIMBAUD Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 scott, you make a decent point.last week I heard on of the coaching staff say that the idea was that the team that finished last season was broken and needed fixing. So we're buying back up for every position.Or is replacing is happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Yeah, I guess. Do you attribute that to the players or the manager though?Not sure - bit of both, probably. Lack of leadership both on and off the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we're buying back up for every position.Or is replacing is happening?I wouldn't say it's replacing because I don't think many of the key players will leave, if any. Just fringe players that have been released.Displacing would be the word I'd use. Buying players that are hopefully better to take over their starting XI place.

PistoldPete2 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 fans views are often a good barometer.....then again if he'd been a triumph we wouldn't be able to get him.so.....maybe £1m max.the fact he has not been a success in 27 games in the prem, maybe played out of position does not make him a bad signing. How would John eustace have done for Sunderland? Played as an attacking midfielder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get any better by signing back up players, the only way to progress is to get new players that are better than your old ones or train your old ones to be better (Route is much easier but more expensive, but seems to be the direction we are taking which is fine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
