Okey, if you say so.

Oh, and Fox cost more than Shaw, get him in!

Garrett: They probably think Gazza should be playing instead of Boruc since he cost more for us.....it´s all about transfer fees, there can never be some other explanation to why players aren´t picked....

Do you think Swansea and/or West Bromwich has been free from struggling since they came up to PL? Hopefully clear enough since you jumped to the chance of attacking my grammar.

Strange, when I press quote I have different text than from what I see you have written.....edit?? Yes, I had an opinion. Can I guarantee that, no. Do I believe it, yes.

It´s not like the both of them haven´t had any struggles, is it?

Name the five most expensive ones from the top of your head, and then we can compare that to the 5 most expensive attacking players. You think there will be any difference?

Yep, and that´s why I for one dont think spending £35m is that strange considering we have financial backing from our owners. It´s a different world now compared to 2005, but people seem to not understand that.

And have I said that Rodriguez will be a great success? No, but I do think it´s mental to make judgements on a signing after 8 months, especially on a young hot prospect. But how is it with the constans Nugent references, you seemed to "miss" answering that...?

I hate to destroy your illusion but I will.... Defensive players cost a lot less than attacking players....

Did I say that Jarvis wont turn out to be a success for them? No, as usual you read things that aren´t there and dont read the things that are.... And by the way, you really do a lot of references to David Nugent all the time on this forum... You really ARE a skate, aren´t you??

Into a squad that had one of the lowest value going into the season looking at the 5 best leagues in Europe.....

That´s on the nail.....fans are stuck in the "small poor club" mentality. I think one of the most ridicolous things about the club is that up to last summer £4m signing Rory Delap was our biggest spending....says alot to me about the lack of ambition previous chairmans has had....

Well, Jarvis springs to mind... And signing one of the (if not the) hottest young prospect from the Championship. Is that all about how he will perform the first 8 months at the club when signing him for 4 years? I said on another thread that in two years time those £7m will look like a bargain and being one of the clubs best business.

From my post. that they were part of a team that has played well together for 1-2 years And by the way, system is not ALL about how you put your players on to the lineup sheet. Even though that´s an excusable football manager illness for a lot of the people here I guess....

Oh where is the door....? Oh there....(take the easy way out) That´s my best impersonation of you Turk, but I should have known you weren´t up for an honest discussion. I have heard of "opposite day", but "opposite life" is a new one to me....

As I said (but probably should have highlighted it), is it a factor?? And why should it apply to EVERY player, maybe there are different factors to it? Maybe because Lallana isn´t PL level yet, the others are?

You think there is a factor that the players that were here already knew more about the system Adkins wanted us to play, that they were part of a team that has played well together for 1-2 years and therefore has been better if you look over the whole season so far? If you compare all the players under the new system that all players start at the same level at, which ones has been the best during this time?

So, who is Nigel Adkins nr.2? Anyone famous? Have to admit, I am only familiar with one Nigel Adkins at the moment...

Maybe it´s not about what a teams outlay is in ONE transfer window that should be compared... Maybe it´s the squads entire value that is the issue..... If so we can not expect so much more than we´ve got this season....actually, in that case we might be overachieving...

Is he on gardening leave?

Of course they weren´t. No team has been that last 1,5 month against us apart from QPR.

why aiming so low when you had the chance to take a stand in what you want and believe in.... Dell size mentality...

Ok, you are entitled to your opinion... I for one think that we in two years time will look back thinking those £7m was a bargain.
