English Freak 456 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Agreed, winning the CL got us back into the top level.I have said for a year now it's our punishment for not buying young players and giving youngsters a chance, now we are in this position, 30 year olds, no creativity, no more money to spend without paying a huge price, no revenue because we can't win anything or finish in top 4. I was sayin this months ago, now that we've won it we wont have to go into that huge dip and try to rebuild, if you look at the start of my new season thread my attitude was completely different, i was on about signing Victor Moses and Hoilett, now i am all for getting Hazard and Hulk!.How about your 'football is a business' theory? If we are signing Hazard and Hulk for around 70 million...then according to your business theory, some of our better players will be leaving right?

We Hate Scouse 10,331 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I can see it now. The Sun finding something he's unhappy about, probably something totally irrelevant, like he doesn't like blue topped milk, and running the headline 'The Incredible Sulk'.

Save yourself!38 million, eh? We paid more for him than Hazard. Porto really are good at gouging money out of teams. We've paid over the odds for so many players/coaches of theirs, Carvalho, Ferreira, Bosingwa, Villas-Boas and now Hulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nedy08 27 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Why the hell do you guys care so much about how much Roman spends? I guarantee you you won't be sulking about his price tag when we're winning trophies left and right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less pressure on him, whereas as now the media will just round up the 38 to 40 and start calling him a £40 million player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFCRazor 49 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Considering his main role is a winger who is more than capable of playing as striker for £38m from Porto I don't think it's that bad a purchase.. Someone remind me how much Carroll was please? Also include his goal / appearance ratio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Agree, somewhatSomewhat? Could have used the 38m more wisely and perhaps spend on 2 quality players instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone remind me how much Carroll was please? Also include his goal / appearance ratioIF people are gonna start comparing 30m+ transfer deals with Carroll's, then every one of those is gonna be a bargain. The fact is Carroll is nowhere near worth 35m and so is Hulk if you look at it in isolation. Around 30m for Hulk would probably be fine but 38m?! That is just OTT!
