No chance. We are a sinking ship, lots of players not good enough, up to our eyeballs in debt, thin, weak squad, no money to bring in decent replacements for outgoings. Our defence is terrible and we've just lost 1/4 of our goals, appears we're going to gamble on a cheap replacement to fill the void. The second half of last season was appalling and seen nothing to suggest anything is going to improve.

huge gamble if he is our only striker signing.

Our bad run at Goodison has got to end some time. Wont be next week though, we never start the season well and there isn't ay preseason optimism. We'll probably lose 2 or 3-0,

Salomon Rondon potentially available on a free.

It's all very well making plans for the future but we also have to live in the present.

Maybe we dont want to compete because we cant?

Would be be our first Greek player? Cant think of any others.

Until we realise we have to pay a loan fee and start haggling over £100k

I just dont understand why some oil billionaire hasn't bought us yet. Why cant they see our potential?

Austin joined us when we were in Europe, his first game was a winner at Old Trafford. He left with us a relegation strugglers lucky to stay up. Whatever you think of him he's bang on.

Okay we'll lets see who is right and who is wrong about Romero joining Spurs. Just a rumour in the Express or very close to being agreed, lets see? As for the other stuff I'll make it simple. Have Arsenal, Spurs, Brentford, Palace, Norwich, Burnley, Liverpool spent money this transfer window? Yes or no will do, no need for 20 paragraphs screaming I AM RIGHT YOU ARE WRONG YOU DONT UNDERSTAND.

They've also done it better because they've not just relied on signing young players. They've signed proven premier league players too like Evans, Perez, Mcguire, Inacheo. They've also spent a bit more on quality, Tielmans you mention cost £40m. They've got quite a few around the £18-£30m mark as well, whereas a big signing for us is £15m. Prices have gone up since we were getting Mane, Van Dijk etc for £10-£15m. We're still shopping in that market, other clubs aren't.

i think we all know the answer to that DIrk. But dont forget unlike any other club we have agents fees, signing on fees, bonuses and NI contributions to make. That is probably the best excuse i've ever heard to justify our penny pinching.

Ill make it simple for you. Read it VERY SLOWLY and THINK about what you said and what has actually happened You listed a number of clubs claiming they aren't spending. I listed the same clubs with the amounts they've spent (in the case of Spurs will be in the next couple of days link as you seem to have sand in your fanny over this one (just a rumour, LOL) Tottenham transfer news: Christian Romero speaks ahead of medical | Football | Sport | Express.co.uk) I didn't say anything about what they'd recieved, you started that bit to try to wiggle out of being wrong. You then mentioned these same clubs and came up with a whole list of reasons why they've spent the money they have, despite initially claiming they weren't spending. So are the spending or not? They're not spending, then they are, then they're not again, but but but but, YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT. You seem very confused, Not for the first time., as you've contradicting yourself within 3 posts. Maybe if you didn't type so much you might not confuse yourself.

" That would be Spurs who have spent £22 million and received £26 million then, but of course if you need transfer rumours then you are grasping at straws aren't you and don't really have a point. " Yes you did. Clearing referencing the fact they're signing a player for £47m which you appear to think is just a rumour. Otherwise why say it? You claimed all these clubs aren't spending. You are wrong, dont get upset about it, it's okay to be wrong. You either win or you learn pal. Carry on putting your fingers in your ears saying it's me thats wrong if you like, but you claimed they weren't spending which is wrong, you make out imminent signings are rumours and you then try and justify your error by typing and typing and typing with a whole host of reasons why they clubs you said werent spending actually are. You're all over the place. Think before you type.

"relying on transfer rumours" as you put it in the case of Spurs, this would be the £47m centre back that is having a medical today, yeah just a rumour. Guess when you dont even know that you dont really have a point do you, LOL. You said all of them aren’t spending. You are wrong. It’s that simple.

Looks like we’ve missed out then. At least we’re pursing the cheap options instead.

Apart from the £50m on Ben white and the rumors of £70m for Maddison and the £47m spurs are just about to spend on a centre back plus the £22m they’ve already spent you mean? Norwich have spent £35m Brentford £25m and palace have spent £45m and look like they’re about to snatch Armstrong from under our nose but hey who needs a striker. I didn’t bother reading the rest of your post as any credibility it had was blown apart in the first paragraph as despite lots of words you evidently don’t know what you’re on about.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Depends on if you sold your existing car for more than it’s worth and urgently need a decent new one otherwise you won’t be able to get to work so will lose all your income having shit loads of debt and probably have to declare yourself bankrupt. A ridiculous analogy from you though.

That’s what I was thinking considering we were rumored to be in for another striker when we were being told Ings was staying

Him plus another one would be alright.

Aside from the first two seasons after promotion back Our whole time since we’ve been at st Mary’s and in the premier league we’ve operated a sell to buy model. Same under Lowe as it is now. Despite being back for 10 years we can’t compete with most clubs and the top 4-6 are pulling further away, the next 3-4 below them are also blowing us out the water. So much for Shanghai leisure holdings proving the needed investment we were told we’d get to push on.

The biggest tragedy in all that is he was our record signing for 10 years

£15m isn’t unreasonable for a good championship striker, it’s What we paid for Adams. Players like Scott Hogan and Ross McCormack cost more then we’re offering for Armstrong 4 years ago. Not saying we should roll over and give them £20m but surely £15m is a fair price and should get the deal done? And our fans moan about Levy 🤣
