My god your right - there are no RB's there. My point was how do you know we are not going to sign one by the end of the transfer window? Are you AP or NC?

Exactly.

As far as we know.

Yep got all those.

Thanks - how's Cranie doing? It would seem he is further up the pecking order than Ward.

I'd be more concerned if they had only bought 1st team players. Correct me if I'm wrong but they are already investing in the infrastructure of the club which will in turn bring better youngsters to the club and so on. ML & NC know what they are doing they've been doing it long enough. Anyone care to work out what % of ML's personal wealth he has actually spent (I can't be arsed)? Oh and when you do apply a % to his billions as he would have earned interest on that (which probably equates to somewhere near what he has spent).

.+1. PM would be fine.

I think he has his own personal roller coaster - one minute its "Were the Man City of League 1" then its "anyone concerned about our level of spending". Can't have it both ways. FWIW and to answer TDD - yes a little but we really need to off load some players, our squad is far to large and is not sustainable given our income (nothing to do with ML's money).

That's what I was thinking.

you decide mate - I haven't got a scooby about FB.

Only privacy as the FB conversation was a private conversation IMHO.

.+1 a PM will do mods.

Think its about that lot down the road - so its a sit com!

Got it built yes but wouldn't of if the Council didn't bend over back wards Got us to Cardiff - thought that was WGS getting the best out of not so great players. 4th in the Prem - see above. All IMO of course.

.+1

I think Nick just wants to stimulate a debate about what the attendances should be. I'm not saying I agree with him on this one in particular but its a reasonable debate. Oh and can people stop playing the man instead how about debating the points.

I'm thinking Ward.

So do we expect an announcement tomorrow then? It would be a bit strange if he was ours and with the team and no announcement?

Bit of a catch 22 there tho'. Do you off load your more experienced players who are on more money or the youngsters who are on less? If it were me I'd go for the former as you know there capabilities (or lack of) where as with the ones you have mentioned could develop further.

Thats the bit that concerns me.

Thats my worry - they bleed us and could become a stumbling block for further team investment. What would you say was the average wage for the players stated - 2k - 3k per week x 8? Thats 16k to 24k per week - which is at least 2 - 3 decent (prob more at this level) players.

While its great signing new players I'm getting a little concerned that we have too many players all of which are being paid week in and week out. If we do not get rid of some I think our wage bill will possibly put a halt on signing more. Irrespective of how much money Marcus has got the books will need balancing IMHO. Pards has said we need to get rid of some so how many and who?

The pardew interview had finished. So it couldn't have been pardew. HTH

Glad I switched off then.
