No, we certainly didn't.

Well I did say probably so apologies if I called it wrong. I seem to remember Saint posting up that we'd spent 70 million last season and if that isn't more than Man Utd and Chelsea, it can't be that far behind I wouldn't have thought.

Even if we did spend as much in the last season or two(which we did not)?Where does that put us on a par over the last ten years on average?

I'll leave that up to owzat?
I cant really understand how people are blind to this so i will really really try to make myself blatently clear!
CHELSEA HAVE ABROMOVICH ie they can buy any player that will come to them and pay the wages that player wants!

UTD have the benefit of a manager that has been there 20 years plus.Because of the pre mentioned time factor he has a luxury that we do not..ie great players coming near the end of careers only need replaced once in a while sign one or 2 and you are home with the co'ck out!Its success over a period of time!And its easy success!MOT the squad but remember soon the chassis will go!
Nothing lasts forevever!

Anyway Bigmick I think its fair to say on all acounts without becoming a happy clapper or part of the breather brigade that likes oxygen or the sail by while quiting brigade or the thinker police or them ones that make sure ya dont go upon the sails on yer boat that ya talk a bit of sh'ite for!


I like Rafa and he makes a hell of a lot more sense than you ever will in shorter time as well!But i do like some bits of some of your posts,usually when ya say thats all..lol
Walk on Rafa!!

When the season starts, then look at who we have signed and who we havent. We have signed Degen, ok not everybodys cup of tea but was it the board who decided to sign him or rafa? We also have the italian lad on board, again same question. Both players were not involved in the euros, yes degen was included in the squad but we all had an inkling he wouldnt play so that transfer was easy. Wait until the euros are over, and the season begins before doom and gloom kick in.

With the greatest respect Kharaz it's hardly being "doom and gloom" to point out that if we had more money, the likes of Deggen wouldn't be top of our list. Spending money doesn't by any means make success a certainty, but it obviously increases the chances.

It could of course be the case that deggan turns out to be the first free transfer unknown in the history of the Premiership who is an absolutely top class player (I'm not talking Bosman superstar, free transfer unknown). Equally there is the possibility that he will turn out to be sh!t. The most likely scenario of course is that he will be OK, stick around on the fringes for a year or two and then feck off to play for IFK Gothenburg or some other exotically named bunch of cowboys.

Rafa deserves some criticism at times for his "options and possibilities" transfer policy, but to accuse people of "losing it altogether" for pointing out that it would be quite nice if we had a few quid, is a slight overreaction I think.

Why are you taking the out of IFK Gothenburg Or is any word that isn't English considered exotic by you?
