Before everyone goes hahahaha - a few points:
1. We have too many hangers on pumping up weekly wage bill; and most of them are forwards from our championship era. Like Neil Warnock, I will always be grateful for their fighting spirit that got us into the premiership - but time to go!
2. I'm sick of "moneybags" prefix when we have spent little in actual transfers - lets get a marquee signing in - Andy Carroll.
3. He bullied that w::k:: Terry in the cup final and would be far better than anyone we now have.
4. If we really want top 4 let's go for it now - when the new euro rules come in we won't be able to.
And like a whirl of smoke, Kayseri Sosa was gone!!!! |  |

We have spent/are spending an absolute fcking fortune.

yep you're right.
and they are playing for magic beans and the promise of the trees that will grow from said beans and provide a crop of freshly made £50 notes to be harvested daily.

Trying to build a squad that is capable of a top 4 finish in 1-2 transfer windows is totally unrealistic IMO. The way we are doing it now is the way to go. Yes we have bought a lot of players since MH arrived but I can see the amount of players arriving will slow down after this window. We have a decent squad now and if we can add another defender or 2 before this window closes that will be great business. After that we can start with the "big" signings that will take us to the next level.
Look at the amount of money Chelscum and Man City spent and the amount of players they had before they achieved success. |  | | |

With the potential to be moved into 'classics'.
I'd quite like to live in a world where the likes of Cisse, Johnson, Zamora and Hoilett play for free and Andy Carroll is a marquee signing. | | | |

Fu(kin hell kysersosaqpr.
You opening post made me laugh out loud then you go and suggest we adopt a plan of success that is moulded on the ideas of Stalin.
Thats alot of info in one sitting.
If we roll some tanks down the fulham road, Andy Carroll hanging out of the top unleashing rockets into the bridge then maybe we can then break into the top 4!
Not sure how we deal with Arsenal, Man City, Man Utd and Spurs.....
I feel a quote from Lincoln coming on...........
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man whom is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is no effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” |  |

As far as I know we've spent less than £4.2m on signings so far, minus Hoilett. Very shrewd business considering it takes on 7 players. |  |

Add in the signing on fees and salaries, minus the income from an 18,000 seater stadium, and come back to me. | | | |

Even if the fee is nothing initially. Do you realise a 3 year contract on 50k p/w is still nearly 8 million? Not including signing on or agent fee etc. If you incorporate wages/signing fee's etc for all of the signings we have made since last summer the amount we have spent must be staggering.
I agree the transfer fee's avoided have been good, tribunal fee for Hoilett for example is alot better value than his cost had he have been a Bburn player still but I would say all of Hoilett, Zamora, Cisse, SWP, Barton, Park and possibly Traore, Johnson, Onouha, Nelsen, Ferdinand, Taarabt, Diakite are all on 50k or above. That is alot of outlay in 1 year, ESPECIALLY with 18k gates |  |

Park £2m - rising to £5m?
Diakite £3m??
Green - sign on fee £1m??
Other sign on fees for Nelson & AJ - Possibly up to a £1m??
Hoilett - Tribunal possibly £3-4m??
Only guessing but not far off approx £10m??
Then comes the wages.... | |

You could get rid of three of those, pay Carroll, and still make a saving - or do you want quantity not quality? | |

Staying in the Prem each year easily covers signing fees and wages.
Plans for a new ground = more revenue......voila!.....piece of piss. |  |

How wrong can one post be.
"You could get rid of three of those" - which ones and who's going to match our wages let alone pay a fee?
"or do you want quantity not quality?" - Carroll is now defined as quality? Perhaps we should ask some Liverpool fans their view on that! |  | | |

So you would want to sell 3 players from that list, 7 of which have never played a game and replace them with somebody that would not only cost alot in wages and include ANOTHER set of signing on fees etc as well as a hefty reported 15-20 million transfer fee??
Also which of the 3 would you like to sell? Alot of them would not get matched or better wages elsewhere hence why they came in the first place and even if they did the only ones with any sell on value would be the likes of Hoilett possible Taarabt etc.
In fact why am I trying to incorporate logic when your statement is so incredibly stupid
