dont think you can expect a high hit rate with that approach, on the whole done decently though (not that id want him back & i think liverpool signings have been shocking).

bale, modric, kaboul, ekotto, berbatov all his.

other decent players boateng, taarabt though unproven still, corlukas not bad, bent is shit but does well.

rocha, mido, ghaly, gunter(?), hutton, zokora, Bostock, dos santos, chimbonda, malbranque anyone else?

bassong 1 mil Laughing out loud Didn't you offer us something like 6/8 in the summer and we were about to take it but couldn't get cahill?

Supposedly we're in to buy hoilett and samba for 12mil, would be a great bit of business and blackburn have to sell

Carl don't forget we have a pretty strict wage structure

yeah but still a loss, factor in wages spent and what they gave back! Not the point though the point is they were/are shit!! If you employ scattergun transfer dealings like commoli/arnesen you will get shit. For every bale you will get a 3 gilbertos Laughing out loud Simple.

Carl you're just plain wrong, the players you've mentioned are our subs/second team/backup players etc, you gotta have them, we don't pay any of them that much and our wages are miniscule compared to chelsea/man city/man utd etc, no 150k a week here.

Pienaar had chance to go Chelsea for 50 a week but went Spuds for 70. Ade defo on 70 a week.

Duff exactly course your not a Chelsea/City/Utd your revenue streams are very different, I cant see how you can sustain these guys on those wages that dont add value.

Ade's on 70k a week, but Citeh are paying the other 100k (and thus basically bankrolling Spuds' top four challeneg)

Pienaar doesn't - and never has - earned 70k a week. Even the always dubious goal.com mentions the story you're obviously on about (http://www.goal.com/en-india/news/222/transfer-zone/2011/01/20/2314452/steven-pienaar-rejected-chelsea-after-tottenham-offered), but has it at the 60k mark. Will be nearer to 50.
