He sold Crouch because Crouch wanted to leave and get first team football

He sold Riise because Riise had plateued as a player .

I agree about Riise, but should have kept Bellamy instead of going for Voronin.

Though Riise became stale under us, his replacement was not even half the player Riise was.

Voronin was free and Bellamys fee was to go towards bringing in Torres

Do people not remember the shocking season bellamy had overall for us ?

Yes agree the replacement for Riise was the problem as opposed to Riise going , but he was an Italian international - just didnt work out

If it didn't work out, then why buy him in the first place for 7m? why buy someone unproven in the premiership when we could have went for other players who are better, cheaper and already have experience in the english league

I agree about Bellamy, but he is better than Voronin. Instead of spending a hefty 11.5m on Babel, we could have kept Bellamy and bought Torres.

Dont understand ? You have to buy him first to see if he works out ?

Like who ? Konchesky ?

No mate, it shows how we weren't good enough in the transfer market. If you buy one bad buy over 10 good ones then you can get away with it because the good ones out weights the bad ones. However, its not the case with us in the past 2 seasons or so. We kept buying flops, and we replaced good ones with ones that didn't work out. Whose fault is it? can we blame luck? or can we blame the person who decided to buy these players in the first place?

Why do you think we had one of our worst seasons last season since 10 years?

So you would have liked us to sign a bitter (who cost them £6m the season before and would have cost well over £7m if they'd even considered selling to us) or Gareth Bale, who cost Tottenham £10m in 2007?

I think you misunderstood what I meant by 'available and £7m or less'.

Bale, 5m in 2007

He bought Keane for 20m, if it isn't his choice then whose? parry's?

wasn't Roy restricted in buying players too when he joined?

Didnt Hodgson have money left to buy a striker but decided against it ?

The keane saga has been done to death now and we all know it was a mistake that didnt work out .

Didnt hodgson waste ten million plus on three players not needed then also get rid of two players who were better then players he brought into the club .
