DCFC1388 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Starting to get fed up of the no money nonsense, we had no 'significant' funds NOT no money at all. We have bid 1.5m for Burke, potentially bid for Marriott, had 1 bid rejected for Jozefzoon & looks like we have had one accepted - how does any of this point to having no money? We also bid 6m for McClean in Jan, since then we have had Ince money, Rowett compo & Weimann fee. We have money just not a huge amount, id suspect we have around 4-5m to spend without a big sale like Vydra which nowadays is not a 'significant' amount of funds, its the wages thats the issue but we have got a lot off budget already with Weimann, Russell, Bent, Shackell & Baird now off the figures. Rant over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 No one said we were broke, Mel just said that the days of spending like we were doing had to stop, by that i take it he means spending 6, 7,8 million pound on single players, or 4 million on the likes of anya and having our pants pulled down. More sensible approach to transfers seems to be the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I doubt we would have picked up Mount & Wilson for anything less than £2m each, regardless of who our manager is. Soton got £2m for Gallagher and these two are far more highly sought after than him. It's just a guess, but I can't imagine it's cheap either on wages or on the loan fees.

Don’t believe everything you read, a lot of it is agent spin and guesswork. To date only the loan signings of Mount & Wilson are truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus all i mentioned are what we have been made aware of, whether true or not, but i'm sure there have been bids for players we arent aware of too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything’s in hand, no point spending loads and getting crap players, we’ve been down that road. IFWT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it clear that we do? How do you know that there aren't dependencies on us shifting players out on the back of our recent transfer bids.

We really don’t, Mel might have, but as a club we don’t, not until we reach the Prem (if we ever do!). Mel is funding us year after year, he can’t keep throwing money at DCFC, especially as he sees that it’s got him nowhere fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a few seasons of championship reality I guess he is being more pragmatic about the clubs status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we've got him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssendonRam Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Wasn’t Mel the author of the ‘need to sell to buy’ statements though? I don’t recall any one saying we had “no money to spend” TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WystonRam Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 The line was I believe that we would stick to FFP play guidleines, which is different to not having any money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that we don't have money. Nobody says Mel is broke. It's that not reducing wage bill very significantly will lead to a ffp breach and a transfer embargo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
