Filmoss you have just described about 12 teams in the premier league with that statement it’s about your passion for the club like every other supporter in the greed league all clubs sell there best players to survive look at Villa ,Aresnal they have sold top rate internationals to get the house in order admittedly in Aresnals case to pay for a spanking new stadium listen to any football phone on a night after the matches.

In an attempt to sign equal or at least players to cover for those departed over the next couple of seasons will depend on league positions obviously but it is a fine line you cross when paying out vast amounts of money on transfers and wages to the amount of money coming in .Like you say you have to show ambition and at the moment the club arn’t doing to bad in the position they are in if we stay mid-table until the transfer window there may be a chance of player coming who would otherwise not bother if we are languishing around third from bottom .

How much would you pay for said lad ?

Not a clue ! We wont buy him anyhow because the gaffer is probably very happy with his strike force ! Boselli will get his chance when Kone leaves for international duty. To be honest I am more concerned about the wing back situation because if we are going to carry on using wing backs then I really do think that RM needs to fetch in a couple more players.[/quote]

I’ll give you a clue ,Southampton bought Rodrigez off Burnley for £7 mill ,Wolves bought Fletcher off Burnley for £7 million just a taster of what to expect ,then again if he’s out of contract take the biscuit and have a dabble

Any hoo have a look at this table of Wigan Transfers cant believe we’ve spent so much

Yep nicely balanced I make it £85 Million spent in the Prem and £87 million recouped and all those who said a certain person had pocketed the lot eh ?

That’s only £750,000 profit if you believe Roberto’s story that Whelan used £1m of his own money to help but Ramis.

The clue probably was the sale of Moses and Sammon conbined sales of £10 million

I thought Sammon went for about 125 grand ? Anyhow, the point I am making is, if you wanna talk the talk then you gotta walk the walk !

Apart from the six odd million spent on boselli, the couple of stand out purchases for me are 5.3 million for koumas, and 5 million for marlon king! Jesus Christ what were we thinking?
